It wasn’t until Habitat opened in 1964 that duvets hit the mass market. The founder of Habitat, Sir Terence Conran, discovered duvets being used in Sweden. He opened Habitat and started selling them, together with duvet covers. The duvet was marketed as the ‘10 second bed’ and the ease at making a bed was a real hit with the housewives. It was from then that the use of duvets caught on.

Joseph Jacquard invented this weaving technique in 1804. A special loom is used to weave a pattern directly into the fabric.

However, polyester isn’t generally a highly-prized material for bedding because it isn’t as soft or breathable as other materials. Pure polyester sheets are likely to feel somewhat scratchy or low quality. However, polyester is commonly used in fabric blends with natural materials like cotton, which can make them more affordable.
