Durability is another key feature that sets large cotton towels apart. High-quality cotton fibers, especially those from long-staple cotton like Egyptian or Pima, can withstand countless washes without losing their plushness or color High-quality cotton fibers, especially those from long-staple cotton like Egyptian or Pima, can withstand countless washes without losing their plushness or color
Despite their lower cost, down alternative quilted comforters are still incredibly comfortable and luxurious
- One of the main advantages of wide fabric for bedding is its luxurious feel. The extra width allows for more coverage and a more substantial drape, creating a sense of opulence and comfort that you just don't get with standard-width fabrics. Whether you're curling up under a cozy duvet or stretching out on a plush comforter, the wide fabric will envelop you in a cocoon of warmth and softness.
The plain or twill weave of flannel sheets also makes them soft and pliant — all the more reason to use them in colder weather.
Tencel duvet inserts are another eco-friendly option, with a silky smooth feel and excellent moisture-wicking properties. Tencel is a sustainable fabric made from wood pulp and is known for its softness and durability. These duvet inserts are also wrinkle-resistant and have a luxurious drape that adds a touch of elegance to your bedding.


Consider the following differences between the two types of bedding:

While it may seem that a two-ply bed sheet would be a better choice with the greater number of fibers it contains, this isn’t usually the case. Two-ply sheets are often rougher and less durable, as cheaper materials are typically used. Focus more of your efforts on finding the right material and weave, but do try to stick with one-ply sheets.
Lulu & Georgia's Aja Tilghman says: 'Bedsheet material choice really depends on preference. Linen is a great light and airy option that is exceptionally versatile and adapts to all seasons - keeping you warm in the winter and cool in the summer. It gets softer over time while maintaining its beautiful natural elegance.
The fabric and fibre
While these sheets may seem ideal, their stiffness is sometimes a downfall. This does lighten up with time and washes, but they never quite reach cotton’s dreamy softness.
King Sheets
Flat Sheet
The flat sheet is the first covering over the fitted sheet. It's the layer that touches the body, providing a hygienic, easy to wash barrier between you and other bed coverings used for warmth and/or decoration. Luxury sheets can hang down the side of the mattress though traditionally they are tucked in all the way around for a more polished presentation.
