When purchasing bedsheets, be sure to read product descriptions and customer reviews to get an idea of the bedsheet's performance and durability.  Look for bed sheets labeled Anti-pilling or Anti-pilling for even more assurance.  It's also a good idea to wash your bed sheets according to the bedsheets manufacturer's instructions and avoid using harsh detergents or fabric softeners, as these may cause pilling.

Another beautiful cotton fabric is sateen. It has a very delicate sheen that gives it its signature 5-star silky look and feel. Sateen bedding tends to be heavier and thicker than percale because of its weave so it’s the ideal bedding option for those looking for an extra warm layer at night. Because of its silky finish, sateen will give your bedroom a major luxury update.

Also known as a blanket, cover sheet bed, comforter, or duvet cover, a bed cover is a large piece of fabric that sits directly over your bedding as a cover. It is known as a bed cover because the entire fabric wholly covers the bed and everything underneath. A bed cover can be used on its own without bed-sheets if you have a quilted cover for your mattress.

Along with your duvet, pillow and mattress, the bed linen that you choose will have a big impact on how your bed feels and how you sleep. As your sheets, duvet cover and pillowcase are against your skin every night, it’s important to think about what kind of bed linen will give you the best night's sleep. There are, after all, many bed linen types.

 When selecting a hospital sheet set, it is important to consider the specific needs of the patient and the requirements of the healthcare facility.  For example, some patients may be sensitive to certain materials and require the use of hypoallergenic fitted medical bed sheets.  Additionally, the size and dimensions of the hospital bed should be considered to ensure that the medical bed sheets fit correctly and securely.

Bed sheets are a specific type of bed linen that directly come into contact with your skin. Consisting of fitted and flat sheets, they provide a barrier between you and your mattress or duvet, ensuring a comfortable, hygienic sleep environment.

If you compare linen vs cotton sheets in terms of breathability, another major difference emerges — linen will keep you much cooler at night because of its longer fibers and, therefore, looser weave. Air can pass through linen more easily, keeping your body cool. Cotton, as previously discussed, can also be perfect for warm sleepers (in the case of percale bedding), but linen definitely has the edge over it.
