If you were fortunate to be wealthy in medieval Europe, then you could use your bed to show off your status. Their impressive beds were carved out of wood, raised off the floor, and often encrusted with jewels. Four-poster beds were created during these times, with velvet drapes to keep out the bugs and cold air, and to further show off wealth. However, if you were poor, you slept either on the floor or a small raised platform with hay for a mattress and a scratchy wool blanket.

 There are several key factors to consider when choosing great quality sheets, such as material, thread count, and weave.  With so many options out there, it can be difficult to decide which type of bed sheet is best for you.  Silk and flannel sheets are two popular options, and if you're looking for king sheets, it's important to know how to choose the quality that best suits your needs.
