'Jersey feels like your favorite T-shirt and is wrinkle-resistant, but not ideal for someone who sleeps warm,' says Bed, Bath & Beyond.

The material for your bed-cover should be easy to clean and have stain-resistant properties that ensure durability. During cold nights, a combination of bed sheets and bed cover will provide excellent warmth comfort.

In the 18^th century, although usually made from wood, bedframes also started to be constructed using metal. Mattresses were stuffed with cotton and maids and personal valets no longer slept on trundles on the floor. The bed was not used for receiving visitors, but rather as a private space. In the 19^th century, the four-poster beds were less lavish, and metal bedsprings were invented. It was during the 20^th century when the water bed was created, as well as the air, innerspring, and memory foam mattresses, and now in the 20^th century, we are spoilt for choice!

There are two kinds of decorative pillows; those that are available in the same sizes as “sleeping” pillows that are often covered by shams, and those that are in unusual sizes and shapes and do not directly coordinate with your bedding. These types of pillows enhance the visual style of the bedding and dynamics of your bed.
