Silk Bedding
What is Linen?
Whether it's linens, bed coverings, pillows, or the insert you use with a duvet cover, knowing the different bedding types of bedding terms will help you create the perfect bed.
Wayfair's Nadia McCowan Hill adds: 'The rumpled look of linen is very much on trend, but if you prefer a more sleek finish, invest in a handheld steamer to smooth out any creases and do this once your bed is already made. Steaming is much faster than ironing and works wonders on linen.'
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.
The Linen Verdict: It is a worthwhile investment, but you need time to reap the benefits.
Cotton sheets are a classic choice, offering durability and a crisp, cool feel.
You have complete control over how many sheet sets you require and how frequently you choose to change things up. However, keep in mind that sheets that are meant for warmer temperatures can be worn all year. Add a coverlet, a blanket, and a throw to your bed to make it cozier for the next fall and winter seasons.
