When we think of bed we tend to associate it with comfort. Sleeping on a mattress with clean, crisp, bed sheets, a soft, cosy duvet, and a sumptuous pillow has to be one of today’s simple pleasures. However, this was not always the case. The earliest human beings slept on the cold, hard floor using leaves and straw as a base. Instead of duvet covers or quilts, they used animal furs for warmth.
Linen is made from the natural long, hollow fibres of the flax plant, which is spun into yarn. Flax is mainly grown in Europe. The secret to linen is to choose French or Belgian flax which is generally regarded as the highest quality. Our linen bedding range is made from French flax.
What Is A Fitted Sheet?
Most sheet sets typically include a flat sheet, fitted sheet, and one or two pillowcases. There’s not much need for wondering if you need a flat or fitted sheet for this reason — both are useful and usually come as a package deal. Some other sheet sets, like those Casper offers, also include a duvet cover.

Satin sheets are made out of synthetic fibers and have an alluring feel. Like silk, adding satin sheets is an excellent way to spice up a room with some romance. When looking for these types of sheets, be aware of whether the satin is woven or knit. Woven makes the satin smoother, while knit adds a bit of roughness to it.
Organic wool duvets insert are a popular choice for those looking for natural and sustainable bedding. Wool is known for its breathability and temperature-regulating properties, making it ideal for year-round use. Additionally, organic wool is free of synthetic chemicals and pesticides, making it a good choice for people with allergies or sensitivities.

Researchers say that the term bed sheet was first used in the 15th century, but it wasn’t until 1959 that the fitted bed sheet was invented, by the American, Bertha Berman.
