The plain or twill weave of flannel sheets also makes them soft and pliant — all the more reason to use them in colder weather.
In most cases, a duvet cover is constructed by stitching together two rectangular sheets of cloth on all four sides. One sheet is then cut lengthwise along the center, allowing the duvet to be fitted within the cover once it has been folded. Additionally, high-end duvet covers include ties at each corner, which allow the duvet cover to be fastened to the duvet at each of the four spots where it is tied. This design prevents the duvet from being bunched up within the cover.
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.
