Jersey bed sheets use the same type of knit cotton or cotton mix as the humble t-shirt! They are soft and stretchy but not particularly durable.

Coverlet
A coverlet is a bedcovering with sides that hang down a few inches past the box spring, but don’t touch the floor. A coverlet can be tucked in or left untucked if edged with decorative trim. Luxury coverlets can be layered directly over a flat sheet or over a blanket. It may sometimes resemble a quilt, but unlike a quilt, which is comprised of several layers, a coverlet is just one layer of fabric woven in such a way that mimics the quilting technique. 

 Bamboo sheets are known for their softness and breathability, making them a popular choice for those looking for a luxurious and eco-friendly option.  

If you are on the hunt for cooling sheets, there are two main types of fabrics that will be beneficial to you: sheets that are breathable or sheets that are temperature-regulating. 

Bed skirts used to be just one large piece with “decking,” meaning the skirt is attached to a mattress-size rectangle of fabric that rests between the mattress and box spring. It is now more common to have three separate sections of skirt that are easily tucked between the box spring and mattress and fixed in place with special pins.

By considering size, materials, and additional features, you can find the perfect bed sheets to fit your needs and enhance your overall sleep experience.

 When it comes to comfort, the type of bed sheets and pillowcases you choose can make a big difference.  Choose high-quality bed sheets made from materials like Egyptian cotton or bamboo for a soft, breathable feel.  Adding a bed pad can also increase the comfort of your mattress and provide an extra layer of cushioning.

If you were fortunate to be wealthy in medieval Europe, then you could use your bed to show off your status. Their impressive beds were carved out of wood, raised off the floor, and often encrusted with jewels. Four-poster beds were created during these times, with velvet drapes to keep out the bugs and cold air, and to further show off wealth. However, if you were poor, you slept either on the floor or a small raised platform with hay for a mattress and a scratchy wool blanket.

Flax

Don't feel that you have to stick to the materials on this list. I just finished testing the Naturalmat Organic Hemp Bed Linen Collection, and I can't stop talking about this miracle material. Hemp combines all the best bits of linen, in terms of breathability and durability, and it's that little bit softer to suit sensitive sleepers. If you're looking for something more luxurious, the Shleep Luxury Merino Wool bedding set could be right up your street. 

Don't worry, you're not alone. Many people use these terms interchangeably, but the truth is that they refer to two different types of bedding that serve different purposes.

 All in all, microfiber sheets are a practical and affordable bedding option that offers softness and durability.  While they may have some drawbacks, such as static electricity and breathability, these issues can be mitigated with proper care and choosing high-quality microfiber sheets.  Understanding what microfiber sheet is and how to solve common problems will help you make an informed decision when purchasing bedding.
