A higher thread count simply means there are more threads per square inch, but what is agoodthread count depends on the style of the sheet. For example, good quality percale sheets usually have a thread count of 180 to 300, whereas good quality sateen usually have a thread count of 300 to 600. This is because sateen requires more threads, due to the weave style, than percale does. 

MICROFIBER Microfiber sheets are known to be extremely comfortable and warm. These sheets are made from tightly woven synthetic fibers, which make a soft and durable fabric. They are commonly made from either nylon polymers, polyester, or wood pulp, creating a thin yet strong linen.

It would seem that the duvet continued to be used by Europeans, for in the 18^th century, Thomas Nugent, an English writer included in his European travel book ‘The Grand Tour’ a description of what appears to be a duvet whilst in the German state of Westphalia.

Duvet covers also serve to protect your duvet from rips, stains, and ordinary wear and tear, as previously mentioned. While you will still need to wash your duvet, it will be needed far less frequently due to the cover.

It should be noted: Not all coverlets are Matelassé. Matelassé is a specific type of fabric and its finishing, not the actual article of bedding. Matelassé is derived from a French word referring to the way a fabric is finished. It is a textile that has texture woven into it so it looks quilted. Matelassé can be made into both coverlets and pillow shams.

 Fitted medical bed sheets are also an important part of a hospital sheet set because fitted medical bed sheets are designed to fit securely to the mattress and stay in place, even when the bed is adjusted or moved.  This is especially important for electric beds, as the fitted medical bed sheets need to accommodate the movement and positioning of the bed without shifting.

The difference between bed sheets and bed linen

Percale:Percale is one of the most commonly used weaves for sheets. Also sometimes known as a plain weave, percale is a one yarn over, one yarn under weave. That means the warp (lengthwise threads) and weft (horizontal threads) will be equal in number.
