Which subject to favor?
Duvet covers, fitted sheets, sheet, pillowcase and mattress cover are all components of bed linen which influence, without us knowing it, the quality of our sleep. Hence the importance of choosing them carefully, and especially with regard to their material.
Appearance is too often the first criterion for selecting bed linen. Indeed, although there is a wide range of materials available to you on the market, it is cotton that should be preferred.
The softness, flexibility and ease of maintenance make cotton the ideal material for your bed linen. Its derivatives also have their own advantages, depending on your preferences and requirements:
- Cotton percale: fresh feeling with a smoother touch;
- Cotton satin: brighter and warmer;
- Cotton gauze: more breathable with an embossed appearance.
Another alternative to cotton is to choose linen bed linen, which is often more expensive. This material is thermoregulatory, and is particularly recommended for people who sweat at night. However, linen is rough to the touch, although it softens over time.
How do you know which dimensions to choose for your bed linen?
To choose the dimensions of your bed linen correctly, you need to refer to the dimensions of your mattress. Concerning the duvet cover, it is then a question of choosing the suitable dimensions, but also the suitable shape according to your preferences. There are four so-called standard sizes for a duvet cover (140 x 200 / 200 x 200 / 240 x 220 / 260×240 cm) and three different shapes:
- The bottle shape: it is recognizable thanks to its excess fabric which allows it to be tucked under the mattress;
- Button closure;
- The zip fastener.
How to ensure the quality of your bed linen?
To ensure that the product you have chosen is of quality, you should check whether it has recognized labels. The Oeko-Tex label guarantees the absence of harmful or toxic products in the composition of the product. However, it in no way guarantees production that meets environmental standards. This is particularly the case of the Gots label which guarantees ecological production at all stages of production of cotton bed linen while ensuring the absence of products harmful to health.
