From jersey and flannel to cotton and linen, see our guide to the bed sheet type that's best for you below.
The twill weave is characterized by an over two, under two pattern. It leaves behind a distinctly diagonal design and is typically wrinkle-resistant due to the thickness. Twill woven sheets are prone to shrink more than those with a sateen weave but are also often times more affordable.
However, these are not to be confused with Belgium or French Flax Linen. Manufacturers created this subtle distinction to determine how much of the linen production process is done in its country of origin.
Blanket Cover
A blanket cover is a very lightweight decorative covering that is layered over a blanket, almost like a decorative top sheet. A blanket cover is often used on hotel beds as the outermost layer over a blanket, protecting the blanket so it won’t need frequent laundering. The fitted sheet, flat sheet, and blanket cover can be pulled off the bed and washed in a single load. Blanket covers are usually poly/cotton blends, requiring very little attentions; no ironing necessary.
