- In conclusion, children's bedding is not merely a utilitarian item but a powerful tool for nurturing creativity, fostering a love for learning, and creating a safe, comfortable, and personalized space for children. It's a reflection of their world, a space where they can let their imaginations run wild, and a haven where they learn, grow, and dream. So, when selecting children's bedding, remember, you're not just choosing a sheet or a quilt; you're weaving together threads of joy, comfort, and endless possibilities.

The 19th century saw the invention of the cotton gin. This machine quickly and easily separates cotton fibres from their seeds which revolutionised cotton production. Thus, the cotton sheet was born. This was the start of a new industry. It became much easier to produce cotton than flax and that in turn made it a cheaper product. Ultimately cotton became the popular choice for bedding, though the name bed linen stuck.


The term bed sheet was first used in the 15th century.[1] Bed sheets were traditionally white and made of cotton, linen or silk, however, now various colors and patterns are used.
Just like with most things, though, not all cotton plants are created equal. Egyptian cotton that grows along the Nile River produces the highest quality textiles because of its extra-long staples.

Thread count is the number of threads woven into a square inch of fabric. The higher the thread count, the more durable the fabric will be. In most cases, a higher thread count also means a softer fabric. However, the type of fiber and weave can also affect the quality of the sheets and should be considered when researching your options. When looking at the thread count, try to find sheets that are between 200-800.
There are a lot of different types of sheets — a LOT. If you are shopping for a new set and starting to research online, it is easy to become overwhelmed. What is the best material for sheets? How do different materials feel? How can you tell if sheets are worth the price? All these questions and more can arise if you are just dipping your toe into the world of sheets.
