Bedding
Ideas
At the bare
minimum you need to dress your bed with a a fitted sheet, a flat sheet, and two
standard- or king-sized pillowcases. Bedding designers, from Martha Stewart to
IKEA, also sell bed-in-a-bag bedding sets. The bed-in-a-bag generally includes a
sheet set, matching comforter or duvet cover, bed skirt, and pillow shams.
With the
complete 4 piece bedding set aka bed-in-a-bag, your bed linen shopping
can be over with the click of your mouse. Choose your bed cover quilt or
comforter, bedspread, or duvet cover. The colors and patterns you
choose will likely become the focal point of your bedroom
d?or.

Good
quality bedspreads and comforters are made
with
matelasse, cotton chintz, chenille,
or even velvet.
These
fabrics tend to have a tight weave and
thick
threads that increase the durability
and opulence of
the cover. A duvet cover, which can be used to give
new life to an old and faded comforter, is like a big
pillowcase for your comforter. Secured at the top with
ties,
Velcro, or button closures, duvet covers are
easy to remove and
launder. Buy extra
blanketsBlankets can add an extra layer of warmth
and style to your bedding set. For the cold winter
months, place a fleece blanket, cotton blanket,
chenille
blanket, down blanket, or vellux blanket
between your sheets. Or,
spice things up in the
bedroom by throwing a cashmere blanket or
afghan
across your bed and raise your style quotient any
time of year. Add pizzazz with pillowsPile pillows on
your
bed and cover them with decorative pillow
shams and complementary
pillowcases to create
interest. Add additional standard-size
pillows, king-
size pillows, 26" square Euro pillows, decorative
pillows, and accent pillows, such as bolsters or neck
roll
pillows, to instantly make your bed and bedroom
look more luxurious
and inviting. You can stick with a
bedding color scheme while mixing
different fabrics
and textures or introduce a new color or pattern.
Stripes, polka dots, and florals can all help you
achieve a cohesive look. Hide your box spring Bed
skirts or
dust ruffles hide a bed? box spring and can
bring another degree of
color and texture to your
bedding set. To get the right fit, know
your mattress
length, width, and drop measurement. The drop
measurement, distance from the floor to the top of
the box
spring, determines the length of the skirt. A
standard drop
measurement is about 15 inches.
Look for bed skirts with higher
thread counts that will
better conceal your box springs. Bed skirts
come in
both gathered and box, or tailored styles and have
two basic designs. One design places the bed skirt
between
the mattress and box spring and the other
design uses snap strips or
hook and loop fasteners.
Creating
the Perfect Bedroom Look
Whether you are into the cozy look of a quilt,
rustic
elegance defined by Ralph Lauren, the clean, simple
look of Calvin Klein, or elegant Laura Ashley florals,
the
bed covering you choose should fit your style
and also be warm,
cozy, and washable. Make the
bedroom the most stylish room in your
home with
today's hottest bedding trends.Make bedtime
fun. Children? bedding brings your kids' favorite
cartoon
and TV characters into the bedroom. You'll
find children? bed
sheets, comforters, canopies,
sleeping bags, and pillow shams
adorned with
beloved
characters such as Disney Mickey
Mouse,
SpongeBob, Hello Kitty, and Dora the Explorer.
Easy-to-install
canopies and netting can also add
an
air of whimsy or the feel of the tropics to your child's
bedroom.
They in
a range of colors and feature a variety of
characters.
If your little one is begging to have a princess themed
room,
then a canopy or decorative netting is the way to
go.
Create a bedroom getawayTransform your bedroom into a place to get
away from it all. Make the bedroom a bit more
luxurious by
perfuming your bed linens or tucking a
lavender sachet between the
sheets in your linen
closet. You can also infuse your bedding with
scented linen water. Pour a drop into the final rinse
cycle when laundering your sheets or mist it directly
onto
your linens before hopping into bed. Dream in
designer beddingNearly
every major clothes designer
has a bedding line featuring colors,
patterns, and
textures straight from the runway. Tommy Hilfiger and
Nautica provide a trendy, more casual look popular
with
teens. Calvin Klein offers a look true to the
clothes line, and both
Ralph Lauren and Laura
Ashley have long been staples in the bedroom
with
their range of bedding designs. The latest designer
sheets, a must-have bedding accessory, feature fine
touches,
including antique detail and rich, textured
fabrics. Bright,
pristine whites provide a backdrop to
blocks of subtle colors,
including lavenders, sea
greens, and neutral tones. Try mixing a
crisp, white
duvet cover with some beige linen shams and Asian-
inspired silk throw pillows for a fresh, updated look.
Stay
away from busy, bold
patterns.
Select the Right Bed
Sheets
High-quality bed sheets can last up to 15 years.
Whether you need king size sheets, queen size
sheets, or
twin sheets, look at thread count and
fabric when you buy.Judge
thread countThread
count, the number of threads per square inch,
determines the quality of a sheet. Generally, sheets
with
high thread counts in the 300-and-above range
have a durable,
lustrous, and soft fabric that gets
softer over time. They are also
less prone to
shrinkage than lower thread count sheets in the 80-
to 120-thread count range. Low thread count sheets,
though less expensive, have a rougher feel and are
more
likely to wear through. Select sheet fabric.Each
fabric commonly
used to make sheets has its own
merits. Combed cotton sheets:
Combed cotton
sheets undergo a cleaning process to eliminate
impurities and short, less desirable fibers. The
process
results in a soft, smooth fabric. ?
Muslin sheets: Muslin
sheets, commonly used in
children's character-themed bedding, have a
rough
and tough feel and are at the low end of the cotton
spectrum. The thread count for muslin sheets is
usually
between 128 and 140. Percale sheets:
Percale sheets offer a
smooth, flat, and closely-
woven fabric, finer than muslin and
usually found in
sheets with a thread count of 180 to 200. Percale
sheets can be found in 100-percent cotton or 50/50
cotton/poly blends. Pima sheets and Supima
sheets: Pima
sheets and Supima sheets, high-quality
cotton, are soft and found in
bed sheets in the 200 to
300 thread count range. Pima cotton is made
of long
fiber staples grown in the southwestern part of the U.
S.
Supima comes from extra-long staple Pima.
Egyptian cotton sheets: Highly durable,
lustrous, and silky Egyptian cotton sheets usually
have a
thread count above 200. The most desired of
all bedding fabrics,
Egyptian cotton is made of extra-
long fiber staples grown along the
Nile River. ?
Flannel sheets: Warm and
insulating flannel sheets,
a wool textile, may be blended with
either a synthetic
fabric or cotton. Instead of describing thread
count,
manufacturers measure flannel per square yard in
ounces. Good quality flannel sheets typically
measure 4 oz.
of flannel per square yard or more.
Synthetic fabric sheets: Synthetic fibers such
as Modal,
Lyocell and polyester are known for their
strength and durability,
but are not the most
?reathable? fabrics. They can simulate silk or
suede,
resist wrinkles, and they wash and dry easily. The
extra-thick dye used for printed sheets makes any
fabric
feel a bit rough at first. Rest assured, however,
they will soften
up after only a few washings. To keep
your sheets looking as nice as
possible, take them
out of the dryer immediately to avoid wrinkling.
Store
them in sets and according to bed size.Get snug-
fitting sheetsWhen shopping for fitted sheets, look at
pocket depth and elasticity. To find pocket depth,
measure
from the highest point on the mattress,
including the mattress pad
and any additional
bedding you may use under your sheets, to the
bottom edge of the mattress. Fitted sheets should
also have
elastic all the way around the sheet.
Sheets with elastic just at
the head and foot are more
likely to slip off the
bed.
Choose Quality
Down Quilts, Comforters and Duvets
Quality down comforters provide
maximum warmth
with minimal weight. Fill power refers to the space
one ounce of down occupies in cubic inches. Down
comforters with higher fill power measurements are
fluffier,
will last longer, and will provide more warmth
at lighter
weights.Fill power Quality
800+
Superb
700+
Excellent
600+
Good
The purity of the contents of
your down comforter
determines its price, comfort, ease of care, and
lifespan. Comforters with purer fills have a higher
price, but have fewer odors, greater comfort, easier
care
instructions, and will last longer. The most
common types of
comforter fills, in order of purity
from most pure to least pure,
are Siberian down,
Hungarian down, goose down, goose feather and
down, duck feather and down, and duck feathers.
Know the
truth behind 100-percent downDown
comforters labeled 100-percent
goose down usually
have about 95-percent actual goose down as well
as
tiny feathers and other impurities. Even comforters
that have between 75- and 85-percent goose down
can be
labeled 100-percent. To get the highest
quality down comforter, look
for comforter casings
with higher thread counts. Down comforters
with
higher thread counts have greater loft (ability to fluff)
and can better contain the contents of the down
comforter,
allowing fewer feathers to poke through
the
fabric.
Pick
Out Bed Pillows and Mattress Pads
Increase your comfort with the right
bed pillows and a
mattress pad.Pillow talkBed pillows help you get a
sound night? sleep so that you can wake up feeling
refreshed and ready to go in the morning. Bed
pillows used
for sleeping come in three sizes:
standard pillows, queen size
pillows, and king size
pillows. Decorative bed pillows used on top
of the
bed come in two main sizes: standard and Euro. A
Euro pillow generally measures 26-inches squared,
which
provides a more structured, boxy look for your
bed. Many bedding
sets provide pillowcases and
pillow shams to fit standard and
king-size pillows. Buy
Euro pillow shams separately. You'll want to
buy
pillow covers to help keep your pillows clean as well.
Go for comfort when purchasing your bed pillows.
Pillows for
back sleepers: Back sleepers need
flatter pillows that provide firm
support. ?
Pillows for stomach sleepers: Stomach sleepers
should choose
pillows with a gently sloping surface
and tapered ends. Pillows for
side sleepers:
Side sleepers need pillows that have a raised and
even sleeping surface, which provides improved neck
alignment. Filling determines the firmness of your
pillow.
Firmer pillows that keep their shape
throughout the night are made
of foam. Foam pillows
tend to break down after two years or so.Down
pillows offer a good degree of firmness, remain
flexible, and can last up to 10 years. You can also
mold
these pliable pillows to fit your mood.Consult
the manufacturer's
cleaning instructions before
washing or dry cleaning your pillows.
Sleep better
with a quality mattress pad Place a mattress pad on
your bed to protect your mattress, improve comfort
and back
support, and get a better night's sleep.
Mattress pads often offer a
degree of allergy relief
because they use hypo-allergenic materials
that
naturally resist dust mites and bacteria. ?
Cotton
mattress pads:
Cotton mattress protectors are thin,
quilted, naturally
hypoallergenic, and washable.
?
Lambs wool mattress pads: Lambs wool
mattress pads offer a little taste of luxury, adding just
the right amount of softness to your mattress. A good
lamb's
wool mattress pad will remain springy and will
always bounce back to
life quickly. To clean this
material, use a vapor steam cleaner to
avoid
shedding. ?
Latex mattress pads: Highly
durable latex mattress pads have a long life span.
Latex can
either be synthetic or natural and is
naturally hypoallergenic.
Because latex mattress
pads provide high-quality support, they may
cost as
much as some lower end mattresses. ?
Wool/Alpaca mattress pads:
A good wool mattress
pad will keep you cooler in summer and warmer
in
winter. Soft and light alpaca mattress pads also
include wool for durability. Memory foam
mattress
pads: Memory foam mattress pads tend to
be lightweight but are not
breathable, so they may
raise your body temperature at night. A
common
memory foam pad is the ?gg-crate? model, which is
relatively inexpensive. Down or feather
mattress pads:
Feather mattress pads, sometimes
called Feather Beds, have greater
resiliency than
down mattress pads. When it comes time to rotate
your mattress, simply rotate your mattress pad
instead.
