Modal from Beechwood Bedding
Modal is a fiber made from beechwood pulp. It feels silkier and lighter than cotton, drapes close to the bed and keeps its colour through repeated washing. Superior makes modal bedding at two thread counts: 300 for a light, everyday set, and 400 for a cooling set built for warm sleepers. Sheet sets, duvet cover sets and pillowcases come at both counts, so you can dress the whole bed in the same fiber.
- 300 thread count modal sheet set — silky and light, deep pockets to 18 inches — Buy for everyday softness.
- 300 thread count extra-deep set — fits mattresses from 18 to 21 inches — Buy for a thick mattress or topper.
- 400 thread count cooling set — 100% modal, wrinkle resistant — Buy if you sleep warm.
- Duvet covers and pillowcases — the same fiber at both counts — Buy to match the whole bed.
