Decorative or Throw Pillow

Cotton is a plant that loves warmer weather and it takes several months for it to produce the fluffy cotton balls that we all know. After the plants are harvested, they are defoliated and send to the cotton gin. There, the cotton fibers are combed — this is done for cleaning and fiber straightening purposes — and then spun into yarn.

 When it comes to sweat protection, the type of microfiber sheets is crucial.  Look for sheets labeled as moisture-wicking or breathable.   Microfiber sheets are designed to wick moisture away from the body, keeping you cool and comfortable all night long.  Additionally, choosing light colors for microfiber sheets can also help reflect heat, keeping you feeling cooler.

While it may seem that a two-ply bed sheet would be a better choice with the greater number of fibers it contains, this isn’t usually the case. Two-ply sheets are often rougher and less durable, as cheaper materials are typically used. Focus more of your efforts on finding the right material and weave, but do try to stick with one-ply sheets. 

Comparing Sizes and Styles: Fitted Sheets vs Flat Sheets

However, the one aspect of fit you may want to consider is pocket depth. Fitted sheets can vary in how deep the pockets are, since mattress heights are not standardized like length and width. If your mattress is more than 10 inches tall, you may want to consider looking specifically for deep-pocket fitted sheets. We recommend the pockets be a few inches larger than the height of your bed — if your bed is 15 inches tall, look for 16 to 17 inch pockets.

Furthermore, LONGSHOW actively promotes recycling and encourages customers to participate in their recycling program. At the end of its lifespan, the bedding sets can be returned to the brand, where they will be repurposed or recycled as part of a circular economy initiative. This approach not only reduces waste but also helps conserve valuable resources.

And if you are concerned with style, one thing to keep in mind is that once fitted to a pillow or a mattress, sateen and percale cotton bedding keep its shape much better, resulting in a cleaner wrinkle-free look.

 In addition to a flat sheet and fitted medical bed sheets, a hospital sheet set may also include a hospital-grade cover to protect the mattress from spills, stains, and other contaminants.  Hospital Sheet Set coverings are typically waterproof and can be easily wiped clean or machine washed, providing an extra layer of protection and hygiene for patients.

Styling Your Bed with Linen or Cotton

Both linen and cotton make excellent bedding fabrics and share quite a few similarities — most notably their water-absorbent qualities and that refreshing, airy feeling. But there are quite a few differences as well, and being aware of them can make it easier for you to choose between the two.
