However, polyester isn’t generally a highly-prized material for bedding because it isn’t as soft or breathable as other materials. Pure polyester sheets are likely to feel somewhat scratchy or low quality. However, polyester is commonly used in fabric blends with natural materials like cotton, which can make them more affordable.

 Ultimately, the bed sheets that are best for you will depend on your personal preferences and the climate where you live.  By considering the unique qualities of velvet, sateen, cotton, and satin bed sheets, you can make an informed decision to ensure a comfortable, restful sleep.

Medium Weight Duvet Insert

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.

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.

Bedspread
A bedspread is lightweight, decorative, and covers the entire bed, coming up over the pillows and kissing the floor. Although currently out of vogue, bedspreads were once adored as an easy way to make a bed, allowing one to hide everything on the bed in one fell swoop. Currently out of vogue, chenille bedspreads were popular in the 1950s.
