What defines luxury? For everything, there is a different answer, and it’s not always clear cut. In fact, many times, luxury is different for different people. In a car, some people feel luxury is simply big, soft seats. Some people have to have a lot power at their disposal. Others want a lot of high tech gadgets. Many people feel that a luxury car is a combination of all these factors. So what is luxury bedding?

What Is A Duvet?

The traditional stuffing for the duvet is down from the Eider Duck, called Eiderdown. The duvet was not invented with luxury in mind, but rather to keep warm using something nearby. Now that duvets can be found all over the world, those still made with Eiderdown definitely fall under the category of luxurious bedding. A duvet covers generally replaces comforters and blankets, and is then itself covered since the Eiderdown is difficult to clean.

What Makes Luxury Bed Sheets?

Bed sheets are normal, but not all are luxury bed sheets. There are several different ways to measure quality in bed sheets, though only a few are used everywhere. This is thread count, as well as the threads’ country of origin. Choosing your luxury bedding should involve more research than just those terms, but they’re the two you’ll see most often advertised. The best, softest luxury bed linens don’t necessarily have the highest thread count, or come from Egypt.

Matelass

Although sometimes marketed as a luxury bed linen all its own, it’s traditionally not. In fact, this French word actually means “padded”. When referring to luxury bedding sets, it generally means a hand quilted, thick luxury bed linen which, ironically, has no padding within it at all. Sometimes there are designs quilted into the linen, but sometimes it’s just a generic quilted pattern. They’re usually 100% cotton, though some Matelass is made of other things.

Coverlet

For the most part, the coverlet is purely decorative, and often sits atop a duvet or other thick covers. Besides being used on a luxury bed, the coverlet can also be found being used a throw blanket, or even a picnic blanket. They are generally quite thin, and are rarely suitable for keeping warm. Although coverlets have been around for a while, they have been largely replaced by duvet covers in most luxury bedding ensembles. The coverlet is still used by some, though, and can be found in a wide variety of designs and patterns. They can be purchased individually, or found in a luxury bedding set.

Nothing Warmer in winter than a Duvet

full-queen-solid-300-thread-count-duvet-sets-in10-colorsWinter has arrived. On cold winter nights we like to think of nothing but a warm soft duvet with flannel duvet cover. Temperature is falling and its freezing outside and it getting close to bed time.  You’re thinking about what could be better than crawling into bed under a fluffy duvet cover.

Lots of people refer comforters as duvets, but the fact is that comforters are filled with cotton or synthetic fibers. On the other hand duvets are filled with down. To get the best quality of down filled duvet you should make sure the “down fill power” be rated 575 at the minimum.

 When shopping for a duvet and there is no mention of a down filling or down fill power it may not be worth the price. Duvets are more expensive then the average comforter. They are worth every penny of additional cost as they made of higher quality and will last a lifetime and can be passed down for generations.

 Duvet covers can change the tone and décor of a bedroom that’s why they become quite popular in rest years. In the winter a cover made with flannel is the better choice particularly in colder areas.

Having zippers on the cover helps protect the outer shell of the down filled duvet from dirt, wear and tear over the years. Zippers on the cover lets people change the room décor with ease.

 There is no better combination for warmth than a duvet with fluffy down and flannel when old man winter sets in.

If you’re looking to change up the look and dynamic of your room for the coming warm weather, look into changing some of your bed linen before you make more drastic changes to the room. To that end, make sure that the color of your bed linens is appropriate to the season. If, for example, your duvet covers are dark in color, they might be more appropriate for winter or fall months. Light colors or pastels, however, are more appropriate for spring or summer.

Also make sure that the texture and weight of those linens is appropriate as well. If the linen is very heavy, it will simply be too overbearing for the lightness of warmer months. You also have to consider the practicality of this linen. If the sheets or covers are too heavy, they will be uncomfortably warm when those summer nights don’t cool off. Change out the linen, and you could be surprised how much more spring-ready the room looks.
