Egyptian cotton is great for its moisture absorption and its breathability. This is important for people when sleeping to stay dry and comfortable. While sleeping a person’s skin gives off small amounts of perspiration and transferring it to the air in the room. This caused by the ability of the cotton as it is able to breath. With the Egyptian cotton sheets staying dry and comfortable this insures a sound sleep for a person despite the naturally perspiring body.

t300-twin-size-solid100-egyptian-cotton-sheet-setI remember away back when it came around the month of April my mom would have us all pitching in to do spring cleaning around the house.
Mom would start with the kitchen cleaning out the cupboards throwing out old products that got shove into the back. Washing down the shelves putting everything back neatly in to the freshly clean cupboards. Mom always took care of the spring cleaning around most of the house.
My sister and I had one chore to do every spring and that was to do our own bed rooms. We would dust every thing in our rooms clean out our closets. Mom had us check out our winter wardrobe pack them away and get out our spring clothes. We would be at this all day as mom would check up on us to make sure it was done right.
The best part of spring cleaning was that we got to remove the flannel sheets. Mom would get us some new fresh Egyptian cotton sheets for the summer. We would put away our heavy duvets and put a freshly wash light coverlet blanket on our beds.
Spring cleaning for kid’s can be a big chore but in the end when all is done our rooms were fresh and bright ready to enjoy the coming months of spring and summer.

Luxury Bed Linens

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.

egyptian-cotton-bath-robesRobes have long been a symbol of leisure, relaxation and royalty. Emperors and kings from Justin I of Constantinople to Napoleon wore robes as they ruled over their subjects. On a less extravagant level, bath robes are often worn shortly after an invigorating bathing experience. Egyptian cotton bath robes are made of soft, absorbent material that pampers the skin even as it dries.

Some distinguished gentlemen of modern times have taken the robe in an entirely new direction. The smoking jacket, made famous by Hugh Hefner back in the ’60s, is perhaps the most surefire sign of a carefree lifestyle. Robes are made for lounging around the house, sipping expensive beverages, listening to jazz music and other low-impact recreational endeavors.
