Understanding the difference between a bed sheet and bed linens, along with their specific functions, materials, and care requirements, empowers you to make informed choices for your bedding. Whether you prioritize comfort, style, or ease of maintenance, selecting the right bedding can significantly enhance your sleep experience and bedroom ambiance.

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.

Furthermore, LONGSHOW actively promotes recycling and encourages customers to participate in their recycling program. At the end of its lifespan, the bedding sets can be returned to the brand, where they will be repurposed or recycled as part of a circular economy initiative. This approach not only reduces waste but also helps conserve valuable resources.

If you perceive bed sheets as an investment and are willing to shell out more for longer-lasting sheets, then linen may be a better fit.

A thread count of 200 to 400 will feel luxurious and high quality in percale cotton. This fabric is a hugely popular choice for bed sheets and is often found as the bed sheet of choice in many hotels.

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.
