There are several key factors to consider when choosing great quality sheets, such as material, thread count, and weave. With so many options out there, it can be difficult to decide which type of bed sheet is best for you. Silk and flannel sheets are two popular options, and if you're looking for king sheets, it's important to know how to choose the quality that best suits your needs.
In addition to the material and make, it's also important to know the care instructions for flannel sheets. Quality flannel sheets should be easy to care for and retain their softness and color after multiple washes.
It was during the Renaissance Period when bedding as we know it today was designed. Whilst the poor continued to sleep on hay-covered platforms, the wealthy owned mattresses stuffed with down and wrapped in luxurious materials. Their four-poster beds were covered in embroidered canopies and contained pull-out trundles for maids and personal valets to sleep on. Mattresses were suspended from the bedframes using ropes or straps. They were covered by smart linen sheets and wool blankets. The beds grew more and more lavish for the most wealthy. They became so expensive they were passed down through the family for generations. Reported to spend most of his day in bed, Louis XIV became so obsessed with bedding that he bought 413 beds for the Palace of Versailles. It is understood that he held court daily from his bed.
A coverlet is a decorative fabric covering that does not touch the floor and normally does not cover the pillows. Woven coverlets and quilts fall into this category. These are normally bed accents and they can sit on top of bedspreads. If you think of hotel room bedding, these can also be found at the foot of the bed used like foot runners.
Speaking of ironing, keep in mind that linen tends to wrinkle quite a bit. But some people find that this also adds a dose of casual elegance to the fabric, a unique live-in look and feel that no other material has.
Other Bed Accessories
In the 18th century, although usually made from wood, bedframes also started to be constructed using metal. Mattresses were stuffed with cotton and maids and personal valets no longer slept on trundles on the floor. The bed was not used for receiving visitors, but rather as a private space. In the 19th century, the four-poster beds were less lavish, and metal bedsprings were invented. It was during the 20th century when the water bed was created, as well as the air, innerspring, and memory foam mattresses, and now in the 20th century, we are spoilt for choice!
