The material from which a timing belt is made is one of the most critical aspects to consider. Common materials include rubber, polyurethane, and reinforced materials that include fiberglass or aramid. Rubber belts are widely used due to their good flexibility and durability. Polyurethane belts, while typically more expensive, offer superior noise reduction and wear resistance. The selection of material should align with the application's operating temperature, load conditions, and environmental factors.
And if you are concerned with style, one thing to keep in mind is that once fitted to a pillow or a mattress, sateen and percale cotton bedding keep its shape much better, resulting in a cleaner wrinkle-free look.
It wasn’t until Habitat opened in 1964 that duvets hit the mass market. The founder of Habitat, Sir Terence Conran, discovered duvets being used in Sweden. He opened Habitat and started selling them, together with duvet covers. The duvet was marketed as the ‘10 second bed’ and the ease at making a bed was a real hit with the housewives. It was from then that the use of duvets caught on.
A bolster pillow is a tubular pillow used for lumbar support while sitting up to read in bed, but more often, it’s used as a decorative pillow or accent pillow. These pillows range from very small to long version that span the entire width of the bed.

Tencel™ is a branded material for Lyocell, a product of wood pulp found in certain trees — particularly fast-growing eucalyptus. This environmentally friendly material is wrinkle-resistant and is produced using a closed-loop process, so any waste created while making the material is recycled and reused.
Soft, smooth, and hypoallergenic, Tencel™ is a great choice for eco-conscious consumers. However, keep in mind that it’s not quite as breathable as cotton or linen.




Linen’s temperature-regulating and hypoallergenic qualities make it a perfect fit for Singapore’s tropical climate, and while linen sheets may be rough at first, the fabric only gets better over time. With enough machine washing cycles, you can recoup the cost in no time.
However, these are not to be confused with Belgium or French Flax Linen. Manufacturers created this subtle distinction to determine how much of the linen production process is done in its country of origin.


Linen bedding is known for its durability and breathability. Linen bedding is a natural fabric that gets softer and more comfortable with every wash, making it a great choice for those who prioritize comfort and durability.
