What is manchester?

Manchester is a fancy name Australia and some other countries give to linen such as towels and bed sheets. It is a word with Latin origins, but most likely the connection to bedding comes from the English city of Manchester - historically the home of the cotton textiles industry.

Why is bedding called manchester?

Early settlers in Australia sourced their bedding from the city of Manchester, the home of the cotton textiles industry in the 18th and 19th century. Today the term ‘manchester’ remains, albeit used collectively with ‘bed linen’ and ‘bedding’.

What different types of manchester are there?

Manchester might include bedding sets, such as fitted sheets, top sheets and pillow slips, but it can also span duvet covers and comforter sets. At Amart Furniture our Bedding & Manchester collection includes:

• Pillowcases
• Sheet sets
• Quilt cover sets
• Quilts
• Pillows
• Mattress protectors and pillow protectors
• Mattress toppers and underlays
