FAQ
What is Supima cotton, and how does it differ from the Pima cotton used in other Christian Fischbacher pieces?
Supima is not a generic cotton variety — it is a trademarked certification for Extra Long Staple cotton grown exclusively in the United States, primarily in California and Arizona, under strictly controlled agricultural and processing conditions. All Supima is Pima, but not all Pima is Supima: the Supima Association certifies the entire supply chain from field to finished textile, meaning the fibre in this duvet cover can be traced back to its origin. In practical terms, Supima fibres are among the longest and finest cotton fibres commercially available anywhere in the world, producing yarn of exceptional fineness and strength. The result on the skin is a satin surface that feels noticeably lighter and more fluid than standard cotton satin — a difference you register immediately on first contact.
What does “Swiss setting weave” mean, and why is it a mark of quality?
Setting is a finishing process applied after weaving in which the fabric is treated under controlled heat and tension to stabilise its structure dimensionally. Swiss setting weave means this stabilisation step was performed to Swiss manufacturing tolerances — the fabric’s thread count, density, and dimensions are locked in with precision before the piece is cut and sewn. In practical terms this means the duvet cover maintains its shape, drape, and surface consistency after repeated washing rather than gradually distorting, shrinking unevenly, or developing puckering along the seams. It is an invisible quality — you don’t see it in the product, but you notice its absence in lesser alternatives after six months of use.
What is the purpose of the stripe detail on a white satin set — is it purely decorative?
The thin coloured stripe on the pillowcases serves a considered design function beyond decoration. Against a field of white satin, a narrow stripe introduces just enough visual definition to give the bed an intentional, composed appearance — the aesthetic associated with the finest European hotel suites, where restraint signals quality more effectively than pattern. The stripe also acts as an orientation marker, making it immediately clear which edge of the pillowcase faces outward, and it provides a colour accent that can be coordinated with other bedroom textiles. Available in multiple stripe colours, it allows the same white base to read differently depending on the tone you choose — a quiet form of personalisation within an otherwise classic composition.
At up to 2,851₾, what makes this set worth the investment over other premium bed linen?
The price reflects the convergence of the rarest raw material in cotton production — certified Supima — with Christian Fischbacher’s Swiss setting weave construction and a complete set format (200×220cm duvet cover plus two 50×70cm pillowcases). Supima accounts for less than 1% of global cotton production; the cost differential over standard cotton begins at the field and compounds through every stage of processing. What you are purchasing is a set that will feel noticeably finer on the first night and continue to do so for years — Supima’s long fibres resist the surface degradation that makes ordinary satin feel rough and dull within a season. At Sleep Gallery’s showroom in Vake, Tbilisi, you can handle this set alongside others in the Christian Fischbacher range to understand exactly where it sits in the quality hierarchy — our consultants can walk you through the fibre and construction differences in person. Free delivery across Tbilisi included.
