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.
Linen is a very durable, lightweight fabric produced from the stem of the flax plant. Linen is a notoriously strong fiber. It’s three times stronger than cotton (the Bureau of Engraving and Printing even uses it to make bills) so you can expect your linen sheets to last for many years.
The most common constructions are muslin, percale, sateen, flannel, and knitted jersey.[4] In a plain weave the warp and weft cross each other one at a time. Sateen has multiple (usually 3–4) over threads and one under.[5]
Everything about the sort of cloth you pick for your bedding comes down to personal choice. Consider the fact that it is what your skin is resting on each night.
To help you decide which fabric is better for your home, we put together a handy guide that describes the similarities and differences of cotton vs linen sheets and the types of bedding manufactured from both.
Have you ever wondered why we refer to duvet sets as bed linen? The answer is quite simple: linen is believed to be the first fabric used to make bed sheets. It is made from the flax plant which is one of the oldest plants used to make textiles. However, cultivating, harvesting, and weaving the linen was, and still is, hard work.
