Quality Sleep with Linen duvets

Let’s talk about linen duvet covers. Since we spend over one third of our lives in bed, bedlinen is a pretty important factor in our quality of sleep.  With a wide range of bed sheets and duvet covers out there, why are linen bed linens considered luxurious ? And why are they good for your health?

Different cultures use a variety of covers and sheets, depending on tradition and climate. In Europe duvet covers are commonly used, with fitted or flat sheets over the mattress. In the United States comforters are used with flat sheets between the comforter and the sleeper. But the custom of encasing a comforter in a cover is growing in popularity in the USA too. To keep feather and down comforters clean and hygienic they need to be covered with a washable duvet cover. Avoiding flat sheets also makes bed making quick and easy too.

As a duvet cover is used directly next to your skin, the type of fabric it's made from is important. As a large piece of bedding that is clearly visible and noticeable, the design of your duvet cover plays a major role in creating a bedroom interior design or decorative look.

So, why choose linen bedlinen?

• Everyone wants a duvet cover that is easy to wash and also stylish. Linen duvets are exactly that! You can machine wash and tumble dry your linen bedlinen, making them easy to care for.
• They are very functional and appealing, fitting the contemporary demand for minimalist or natural aesthetics with a welcoming, homely feel.
• Linen bed linen is considered a deluxe option thanks to its natural sheen, elegance, softness and many healthy properties. Although linen bedding is usually pricier than polyester or cotton, it is a real investment – thanks to linen's longevity and durability, your linen duvet covers will last for years.
• Linen duvet covers are soft to touch and get softer after each wash. This makes linen the perfect choice for those with sensitive skin. Pre-washed linen duvets offer extreme softness from the very beginning.
• Linen bedlinen is naturally lint free and non-pilling, and is also hypoallergenic.
• A pure linen duvet cover can be used all year round. In warmer seasons it absorbs moisture from your skin and evaporates it instantly, keeping you cool and comfortable. In colder seasons linen bedlinen helps you retain your body warmth.

Whilst you can find linen duvet covers and sheets in a wide range of vibrant colours and styles, the most popular are natural colors: ivory, off-white, oatmeal and light gray. White linen duvet covers are produced from bleached linen. For the most elegant look and a calming effect choose a duvet cover in natural colors or earthy shades. But don't be afraid to play with colour – pops of bright tones will create a sumptuous atmosphere.

As you can see, linen duvet covers are essential if you want comfortable and healthy sleep surrounded by sumptuous bedlinen.
