 When purchasing high-quality bedding, you must prioritize materials and design, while also considering price and any customization options available.  By carefully considering these bedding factors, you can choose bedding that not only looks great, but provides the comfort and quality you deserve for a good night's sleep.  Whether you choose luxurious Egyptian cotton bedding, eco-friendly bamboo bedding or timeless linens, investing in high-quality bedding is a decision that will enhance your bedroom's comfort and style for years to come.

How you choose to outfit your bed is personal preference, but are you well-schooled in distinguishing one layer from the next? What is the difference between a duvet and a quilt? What is a coverlet? Should you choose a bedspread or a blanket cover? And what is a bed scarf? Scroll down for our informative bed coverings glossary.

In the practical sense, the Duvet Cover protects your duvet and is easily removed and cared for. In the decorative sense, the most dynamic bedding fabrics are available as “top of bed” duvet covers and shams; it is the quintessential “star of the show,” and sets the tone for the overall look of your bed.

Bed skirts used to be just one large piece with “decking,” meaning the skirt is attached to a mattress-size rectangle of fabric that rests between the mattress and box spring. It is now more common to have three separate sections of skirt that are easily tucked between the box spring and mattress and fixed in place with special pins.
