Blanket Cover
A blanket cover is a very lightweight decorative covering that is layered over a blanket, almost like a decorative top sheet. A blanket cover is often used on hotel beds as the outermost layer over a blanket, protecting the blanket so it won’t need frequent laundering. The fitted sheet, flat sheet, and blanket cover can be pulled off the bed and washed in a single load. Blanket covers are usually poly/cotton blends, requiring very little attentions; no ironing necessary.
The best quality duvet covers are frequently made from advanced fabrics such as poly-fiber, which is composed of extremely fine, synthetic fibers and often used to produce high-tech exercise clothing. Because of the short strands, this material is excellent for night sweats because it allows moisture to escape rather than be absorbed by the body. The poly-fiber that is used in duvet covers is often brushed to give it a softer texture. Home City Inc.’s duvet covers have been finished with a brushed finish, which results in an ultra-soft 1500 threads per square inch. They are also more robust and stain and fade resistant than cotton, making them an excellent choice for daily use. Furthermore, because they are made of inorganic materials, duvet covers are hypoallergenic and can help to reduce the frequency of allergy attacks.
The plain or twill weave of flannel sheets also makes them soft and pliant — all the more reason to use them in colder weather.
