The Stuff Of Luxury Bedding Sets Explored And Revealed

February 8, 2010 by

It’s good that you’ve made the decision to make your sleeping a more enjoyable experience and invest in luxury bedding, yet if you have no idea what is even in luxury bedding sets, you’re going to end up disappointed. The complicate things further, the terms that surround luxury bed linens are one of the many things that those who know think that everyone else does, too. Well, we’re going to change that. Following is a quick and dirty rundown of all the various luxury bedding terms you’re likely to encounter.

Explaining Luxury Bed Sheets

Bed sheets, obviously, will come with all bedding sets. You’ll at least find a fitted sheet in any luxury bedding sets. However, whatever else in the set will often dictate what other sheets will be included. Many come with a duvet, a blanket type thing that is intended to replace sheets and comforter both, though some may come with luxury bed sheets instead. Assume nothing, especially when shopping for discount luxury bedding sets. Replacing sheets with a duvet is not uncommon, but having only a comforter with no sheet should make you look elsewhere.

Explaining The Duvet

The duvet, a common luxury bed linen, is a term that’s thrown around a lot without an equal amount of explanation. Suffice to say, in modern luxury bed sets, that the duvet is meant to be the luxury bedding alternative to both a comforter and sheets. This is one of the many reasons why the number of “pieces” in a luxury bedding sets isn’t terribly important. Be sure to pay attention to the actual contents. A duvet will generally take up only as much space as a comforter, so expect luxury bedding sets with duvets to be a bit smaller and lighter than others. Unless, of course, there are more extras.

Pillows

When it comes to pillow cases, luxury bedding sets can vary a lot. They’ll also call them different things, like shams. Shams, pillow cases, and pillow covers, though, are all the same thing. Usually the size of the bed that the luxury bed linens are meant to fit will dictate how many pillow covers you get. Many sets also include covers for throw pillows or neck pillows, sometimes in seemingly random amounts. If you have extra cushions, be prepared to buy covers separately, as it’s awfully hard to find a luxury bedding set that includes exactly what you need, and nothing more.

Extras That May Be Included

Unlike most regular bedding sets, luxury bedding ensembles typically come with a matching bed skirt. An exception is that, sometimes, luxury bedding sets that have duvets won’t include one. Since duvets are intended to have a cover, those who make luxury bedding figure that you’ll buy a matching bed skirt and duvet cover. There is also the rare luxury bedding set which includes both a duvet cover and skirt. This is becoming more and more common with discount luxury bedding sets. Those more expensive sets are built under the assumption that you’re buying their luxurious bedding, and someone else’s skirt and duvet cover that will match the room’s dcor.
