The best quality duvet covers are frequently made from advanced fabrics such as poly-fiber, which is composed of extremely fine, synthetic fibers and often used to produce high-tech exercise clothing. Because of the short strands, this material is excellent for night sweats because it allows moisture to escape rather than be absorbed by the body. The poly-fiber that is used in duvet covers is often brushed to give it a softer texture. Home City Inc.’s duvet covers have been finished with a brushed finish, which results in an ultra-soft 1500 threads per square inch. They are also more robust and stain and fade resistant than cotton, making them an excellent choice for daily use. Furthermore, because they are made of inorganic materials, duvet covers are hypoallergenic and can help to reduce the frequency of allergy attacks.

If you compare linen vs cotton sheets in terms of breathability, another major difference emerges — linen will keep you much cooler at night because of its longer fibers and, therefore, looser weave. Air can pass through linen more easily, keeping your body cool. Cotton, as previously discussed, can also be perfect for warm sleepers (in the case of percale bedding), but linen definitely has the edge over it.
