Cotton:Cotton is one of the most popular materials for sheets, either used by itself or in a blended fabric (meaning it contains two or more materials). Cotton is a natural, fluffy fiber that grows on the cotton plant. It is highly valued for being durable, breathable, and soft.

Egyptian cotton comes from a different plant (Gossypium Barbadense) to regular cotton, which is why it has different and superior properties. Egyptian cotton has extra long fibres which produce thread or yarns that are thinner and smaller in diameter yet stronger than other cottons. This means that the threads can be woven into a luxurious durable fabric that no other cotton can match.

Linen is a very durable, lightweight fabric produced from the stem of the flax plant. Linen is a notoriously strong fiber. It’s three times stronger than cotton (the Bureau of Engraving and Printing even uses it to make bills) so you can expect your linen sheets to last for many years.

 Silk sheets are known for their luxurious feel and smooth texture. Silk sheets are naturally hypoallergenic and can help regulate body temperature, making them a great choice for those with sensitive skin or allergies.  When choosing silk sheets, look for ones with a higher millimeter weight, which indicates the quality and durability of the silk.  Mummy weights of 19 or higher are considered ideal for silk sheets.

Solid designs are a fantastic choice if you already have a detailed bedroom décor and only want to add a burst of color to the area. If you want a duvet cover that will be used to decorate the entire bedroom, intricate designs such as branches, flowers, and stripes may be desirable. The use of embellishments like pleats add visual interest. Some duvet covers are reversible, featuring a distinct pattern on either side of the cover. Reversible duvet covers allow you to change the look of your bedroom quickly and easily without having to buy additional bedding pieces.
