Meanwhile, if you’re shopping on a budget and believe silky smooth sheets are non-negotiable, then 100% cotton sheets may be a more preferable option. After all, their lower price tag can make up for the frequent anticipated changes through the years. Be sure though that your cotton sheets are made purely what’s on the label for you to fully realize the benefits for yourself.

A coverlet is a decorative fabric covering that does not touch the floor and normally does not cover the pillows. Woven coverlets and quilts fall into this category. These are normally bed accents and they can sit on top of bedspreads. If you think of hotel room bedding, these can also be found at the foot of the bed used like foot runners.

As we spend around a third of our lives in bed, investing in the right bed sheet type is essential if you want to ensure that you have a good night's sleep.
