To help you decide which fabric is better for your home, we put together a handy guide that describes the similarities and differences of cotton vs linen sheets and the types of bedding manufactured from both.

Don't feel that you have to stick to the materials on this list. I just finished testing the Naturalmat Organic Hemp Bed Linen Collection, and I can't stop talking about this miracle material. Hemp combines all the best bits of linen, in terms of breathability and durability, and it's that little bit softer to suit sensitive sleepers. If you're looking for something more luxurious, the Shleep Luxury Merino Wool bedding set could be right up your street. 

Duvet covers are always equipped with a closure mechanism, such as buttons or zippers. Some are available with various ornamental decorations that add elegance and texture to them, such as embroidery, ribbons, or buttons, while others are plain. Duvet covers with pleats, ruching, and flocking are examples of various decorations that may be seen on high-quality bedding. Similarly, pleating is a form of fold that is created by folding fabric over itself while ruching is a procedure created by gathering little ripples in the fabric together. Flocking is the deposit of microscopic particles on the surface of a cloth.

These two varieties of cotton are valued for their long staples, or fibers. Long staples are desirable because they are less likely to pill, hold the structure of the weave better, and overall lead to a softer, more durable sheet. If a fabric is made with short staple cotton, it is common for the staples to start to poke out over time, leading to a decrease in the softness and comfort.

 When purchasing bedsheets, be sure to read product descriptions and customer reviews to get an idea of the bedsheet's performance and durability.  Look for bed sheets labeled Anti-pilling or Anti-pilling for even more assurance.  It's also a good idea to wash your bed sheets according to the bedsheets manufacturer's instructions and avoid using harsh detergents or fabric softeners, as these may cause pilling.

All cotton fabrics share one essential quality: they are moisture-wicking, meaning that, at night, they will absorb any perspiration leaving your body dry and refreshed. Also, they are very easy to care for and don’t require any special dry cleaning treatments. Simply wash your bedding in cool water using mild detergent and tumble dry low. And avoid any bleaching agents.

 In summary, it is possible to find good quality affordable bedding when you work with the right bedding supplier who has strong connections with reliable bedding factories.  By prioritizing bedding quality, bedding design, and bedding affordability, you can create a comfortable and stylish bedroom that reflects your personal style and ensures a good night's sleep.

Bedspread
A bedspread is lightweight, decorative, and covers the entire bed, coming up over the pillows and kissing the floor. Although currently out of vogue, bedspreads were once adored as an easy way to make a bed, allowing one to hide everything on the bed in one fell swoop. Currently out of vogue, chenille bedspreads were popular in the 1950s.
