Bed
Linens
Bed linens with high thread count are
typical of luxury bedding sheets, duvets, and pillows
Bed linens of all types from sheets to comforters and duvet
covets are made out of similar fabric. Cotton is usually
preferred because of its breath ability, this is especially
true with down comforters, so the down won't mold. The thread
count is the number of threads per square inch it is an
indication of quality, with 180 on the low end and 500 to 600
being used in the luxury bedding. Bed linens also may use
polyester mixed with cotton, this adds durability but cuts back
on that breath ability that I personally require. When I think
of luxury bedding, I think of satin.
Bed linens come in a variety of styles, configurations and
quality, from discount bedding to luxury bedding, your
choice
Satin bed linens are made of satin polyester and sometimes an
acetate, which require special handling, no hot dryer, no hot
irons. Satin luxury bedding includes; bed skirts, dust ruffles,
sheet Sets with both fitted sheets and flat sheets, comforters,
duvet covers, pillow cases, and pillow shams.
If you own one of the newer pillow top mattresses, made sure
your bed linens come with deep pocket sheets, usually 18"
instead of 13-14" pockets. You will avoid the rush to get your
corner of the sheet on the mattress first so you can watch your
spouse struggle with their corner
