Bed linen can be made from a variety of materials, including cotton, linen, silk, and synthetic blends. The thread count, which refers to the number of threads per square inch of fabric, is a crucial factor in determining the quality and feel of the material. Higher thread counts generally indicate softer, more durable bed linen, with 300-600 thread count being a benchmark for quality.
- 2. Polyester/Cotton Blend Sheets A blend of polyester and cotton offers a more durable alternative. These sheets resist wrinkling, fading, and shrinking, which is beneficial for busy hospital laundry departments. However, they may not be as breathable as pure cotton, which could affect patient comfort.

Beyond material, the variety and style of bed sheets and bed linens can significantly influence your bedroom's comfort and design.
The most important quality of a duvet cover is its size. The correct duvet cover must be large enough to perfectly accommodate the duvet. The duvet cover should close tightly around the duvet without allowing much room for the duvet to move about within. Duvets are available in various conventional sizes depending on the type of bed for which they are intended, although their thickness might vary. In most cases, a duvet for a twin bed will measure around 68 inches wide × 86 inches long, while duvets for an extra-long twin should measure approximately 68 inches wide x 90 inches long. The dimensions of a duvet for a large bed can range from 78 inches long x 86 inches wide to 86 inches wide x 86 inches long. In general, the dimensions of duvets for the Queen and King-size mattresses are 90 inches wide x 90 inches long and 92 inches long × 104 inches wide, respectively.

As well as the fabric, the weave that your bed linen fabric is made with will also affect the feel. Fabrics are woven from threads or yarns. These can be woven together in different ways to change how your sheets feel. Sateen and Percale weaves are the top choice for good quality cotton bed linen.
