Materials for Bed Linens: Bed linens share many of the same materials as bed sheets but also include additional options. Duvet covers, for instance, might use heavier fabrics for extra warmth or distinctive textures for a decorative touch. Pillowcases often mirror the material of bed sheets but can feature additional embellishments or varied textures to enhance the bed's visual appeal.

When we think of bed we tend to associate it with comfort. Sleeping on a mattress with clean, crisp, bed sheets, a soft, cosy duvet, and a sumptuous pillow has to be one of today’s simple pleasures. However, this was not always the case. The earliest human beings slept on the cold, hard floor using leaves and straw as a base. Instead of duvet covers or quilts, they used animal furs for warmth.
