Linen is one of our favorite bed sheet types here at Homes & Gardens. Why? Let us count the ways:
4. Drive in the Nail Use a hammer or a pneumatic tool to drive the nail into the anchor. As you drive the nail, the anchor expands against the walls of the hole, creating a secure fit.
All in all, the choice of a duvet insert ultimately comes down to personal preference and specific needs. Whether you prefer the natural and sustainable qualities of organic wool and eucalyptus, the luxurious comfort of plush, or the silky smoothness of Tencel, there's a duvet insert to suit every sleeper's needs. Consider the unique benefits of each type to find the perfect duvet insert for a restful, restorative night's sleep.
Usually a flat bed sheet is overlocked around the edges to form four seams. One of the seams is wider than the other three and helps with orienting the sheet correctly on the mattress. The wider seam goes at the head end of the mattress. Sometimes the sides do not have seams, but are finished with the selvedge only. When one makes a bed, the patterned or monogrammed side of the top sheet may be placed facing up, or facing down, in which case the top edge may be folded towards the foot of the bed to expose the design.
And finally, brushed cotton is for those looking for something in the middle in terms of cooling/heat-retaining qualities. To turn cotton into brushed cotton, the fabric undergoes a couple of extra treatments that result in the softest flannel-like bedlinen. While both percale and sateen sheets may take a few washes to become more supple and soft, a new set of brushed cotton bedding feels like you’ve slept in it forever. It is a great year-round option because it won’t warm or cool you down excessively.
Also known as a blanket, cover sheet bed, comforter, or duvet cover, a bed cover is a large piece of fabric that sits directly over your bedding as a cover. It is known as a bed cover because the entire fabric wholly covers the bed and everything underneath. A bed cover can be used on its own without bed-sheets if you have a quilted cover for your mattress.
This is the piece of fabric that creates a sheath or barrier between you and your pillow. Typically, a pillowcase has one opening on the short side of the fabric and extra fabric that will drape over a few inches, when placed over the pillow insert. The drape is sometimes generous and provides a decorative element to what is otherwise a largely functional piece.
A bolster pillow is a tubular pillow used for lumbar support while sitting up to read in bed, but more often, it’s used as a decorative pillow or accent pillow. These pillows range from very small to long version that span the entire width of the bed.
