Striped Bedding and Bed Linen Sets

A ticking stripe is a pattern characterised by thin, evenly spaced vertical stripes of the same width. The stripes are typically in a contrasting colour against a lighter or neutral background. The name 'ticking' originates from the fabric's historical use in making mattress or pillow 'ticks', which are the covers used to encase bedding materials.

A ticking stripe is often associated with a rustic or vintage aesthetic and its simplicity and timeless appeal make it versatile and suitable for various interior design styles, including farmhouse, coastal and traditional.
