Linen GSM - Linen is measured in GSM (grams per meter) and typically ranges from 100gsm to 200gsm. We use 150 GSM for our linen bedding range. We found lower GSM too thin and higher GSM too heavy and rough to the touch.
The most important quality of a duvet cover is its size. The correct duvet cover must be large enough to perfectly accommodate the duvet. The duvet cover should close tightly around the duvet without allowing much room for the duvet to move about within. Duvets are available in various conventional sizes depending on the type of bed for which they are intended, although their thickness might vary. In most cases, a duvet for a twin bed will measure around 68 inches wide × 86 inches long, while duvets for an extra-long twin should measure approximately 68 inches wide x 90 inches long. The dimensions of a duvet for a large bed can range from 78 inches long x 86 inches wide to 86 inches wide x 86 inches long. In general, the dimensions of duvets for the Queen and King-size mattresses are 90 inches wide x 90 inches long and 92 inches long × 104 inches wide, respectively.
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.

Duvet covers often have buttons, ties, an envelope flap, or zipper as a closure to keep the insert enclosed. It should be noted that a Duvet is the insert that goes inside the Duvet Cover; usually comprised of down or a down alternative. When the insert and duvet cover are together, sometimes it is referred to as a Comforter. It is common for Duvet Covers to have finishing details like flanges or embroidery along the side and bottom edges only.
From a practical standpoint folding and ironing flat sheets is fairly easy, however, fitted sheets are more difficult to fold neatly and iron because of the elasticated corners. Opt for modern lightweight polyester/cotton fabrics and your bed linen probably won't need ironing anyway!

What Is A Fitted Sheet?
Bamboo Bedsheets
If you were fortunate to be wealthy in medieval Europe, then you could use your bed to show off your status. Their impressive beds were carved out of wood, raised off the floor, and often encrusted with jewels. Four-poster beds were created during these times, with velvet drapes to keep out the bugs and cold air, and to further show off wealth. However, if you were poor, you slept either on the floor or a small raised platform with hay for a mattress and a scratchy wool blanket.
