Whether it's linens, bed coverings, pillows, or the insert you use with a duvet cover, knowing the different bedding types of bedding terms will help you create the perfect bed.

While sateen sheets are similar to satin sheets, they aren’t to be confused with one another. The satin weave structure (one under, three over) creates sateen sheets, but yarn is used rather than filament fibers. Despite the differences in material, sateen sheets are just as elegant and silky smooth as satin. They are less durable than percale sheets but also better for cold sleepers and cooler weather. 

 All in all, a wide selection of bath towels, including waffle towels, spa towels, striped towels, and ribbed towels, provide a personalized, luxurious bathing experience.  Whether you prioritize texture, absorbency, or style, there's a perfect bath towel to suit everyone's needs and preferences.

Not only are certain types of bed sheets better for keeping you warm in winter and cool in summer, some breathable fabrics, like linen, can actually improve your sleep quality. And, side note, did you also know that you can pick certain bed sheet colors to improve sleep, too?

 A common issue with microfiber sheets is static electricity.  Due to the synthetic nature of microfiber, static electricity can sometimes build up, causing sheets to cling to your body or feel uncomfortable.  To reduce static, it is recommended to wash microfiber sheets with fabric softener or in the dryer, or use an anti-static spray when making the bed.

And finally, brushed cotton is for those looking for something in the middle in terms of cooling/heat-retaining qualities. To turn cotton into brushed cotton, the fabric undergoes a couple of extra treatments that result in the softest flannel-like bedlinen. While both percale and sateen sheets may take a few washes to become more supple and soft, a new set of brushed cotton bedding feels like you’ve slept in it forever. It is a great year-round option because it won’t warm or cool you down excessively.

Although they are often referred to as the same thing, there is a subtle difference between flannel and brushed cotton bed sheets.

 Finally, blue bedding is known for its calming and soothing properties.  Whether it's light sky blue or deep navy, blue bedding can create a calming and peaceful atmosphere in the bedroom.  Blue Bedding is a great option for creating a peaceful and peaceful retreat.

When we think of bedding materials, cotton and linen fabrics immediately spring to mind. In fact, the average homeowner may use the terms ‘linen sheets’ and ‘cotton bed sheets’ interchangeably because they seem so similar.
