According to National Geographic, the first known mattress dates back to around 77,000 years ago. It was discovered in South Africa in 2011 and was made of reeds and rushes.

Selecting Bed Linens: When choosing bed linens, consider the overall aesthetic of your bedroom, the ease of changing and washing the linens, and the type of comfort you desire. It's also worth considering seasonal changes – lighter materials for summer and warmer ones for winter.

Other fabrics like bamboo, Tencel, or other semi-synthetics are temperature-regulating, meaning they maintain a naturally cooler temperature and adjust with your body temperature. These are fantastic for keeping cool when it’s hot — especially because they are often moisture-wicking, too.
