While bed linen and bed sheets are often used interchangeably, they are actually two distinct types of bedding that serve different purposes. Bed sheets are the primary layer that goes directly on top of the mattress, while bed linen encompasses a range of additional bedding items such as duvet covers, pillowcases, and decorative blankets. Whether you prefer the crisp coolness of freshly laundered sheets or the luxurious feel of high-quality linen, there are plenty of options to help you create the perfect bed for a good night's sleep.
