Luxury flat sheets will have a European return—a deep turn-back cuff or hem that runs along the top of a flat sheet and continues down the side for a little over a foot or so, with a mitered hem at each corner. This decorative hem treatment allows you to fold back the flat sheet over the blanket, coverlet, or quilt, giving a well-dressed luxury bed its signature finesse and stylish elegance.

In the 18^th century, although usually made from wood, bedframes also started to be constructed using metal. Mattresses were stuffed with cotton and maids and personal valets no longer slept on trundles on the floor. The bed was not used for receiving visitors, but rather as a private space. In the 19^th century, the four-poster beds were less lavish, and metal bedsprings were invented. It was during the 20^th century when the water bed was created, as well as the air, innerspring, and memory foam mattresses, and now in the 20^th century, we are spoilt for choice!

Another beautiful cotton fabric is sateen. It has a very delicate sheen that gives it its signature 5-star silky look and feel. Sateen bedding tends to be heavier and thicker than percale because of its weave so it’s the ideal bedding option for those looking for an extra warm layer at night. Because of its silky finish, sateen will give your bedroom a major luxury update.

When we think of bedding materials, cotton and linen fabrics immediately spring to mind. In fact, the average homeowner may use the terms ‘linen sheets’ and ‘cotton bed sheets’ interchangeably because they seem so similar.

While bed linen and bed sheets are often used interchangeably, they are actually two distinct types of bedding that serve different purposes. Bed sheets are the primary layer that goes directly on top of the mattress, while bed linen encompasses a range of additional bedding items such as duvet covers, pillowcases, and decorative blankets. Whether you prefer the crisp coolness of freshly laundered sheets or the luxurious feel of high-quality linen, there are plenty of options to help you create the perfect bed for a good night's sleep.
