 The bottom line is, that whether you need a king-size bed sheet for a spacious bed or full-size bed sheets for a cozy retreat, choosing the right bed sheet set is crucial to a good night's sleep.  

For a very long time, cotton was the go-to choice for bedding because, in general, it is durable, affordable, soft, easy to care for and is comfortable to sleep on. 

Linen bed sheets are less explored, which explains why there are fewer types of linen bedding on the market. The highest quality linen lies along the world-renowned Western Europe flax belt - crossing through Belgium, France, and the Netherlands. The climate along this belt is optimal for growing and harvesting flax, bringing about the Belgium and French Linen we hear of today.

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.

 Hand towels are smaller in size and are mainly used to dry your hands after taking a shower. Hand towels are often placed near bathroom and kitchen sinks for easy access.  Hand towels are available in a variety of materials, including cotton, bamboo, and microfiber.  Hand towels are designed to be soft and gentle while effectively absorbing moisture.

A twill weave creates bed linen with a diagonal pattern that has a distinctive textured herringbone appearance. Twill bed linen is known for being supple with a great drape (the way it hangs).

A coverlet is a decorative fabric covering that does not touch the floor and normally does not cover the pillows. Woven coverlets and quilts fall into this category. These are normally bed accents and they can sit on top of bedspreads. If you think of hotel room bedding, these can also be found at the foot of the bed used like foot runners.

 Flannel sheets, on the other hand, are great for keeping warm during the colder months. Flannel sheets are made of cotton or wool and are known for their softness and insulation.  When choosing flannel sheets, pay attention to the weight of the fabric, as heavier weights are generally warmer and more durable.  Choose flannel sheets that weigh 5 ounces or more for a comfortable and long-lasting option.

There are two kinds of decorative pillows; those that are available in the same sizes as “sleeping” pillows that are often covered by shams, and those that are in unusual sizes and shapes and do not directly coordinate with your bedding. These types of pillows enhance the visual style of the bedding and dynamics of your bed.
