Microfiber Bedding- A New Favorite

Microfiber is used in so many ways that we hear the word often when speaking of bedding , apparel, fabrics and furniture.

Microfiber bed sheets use a newer fabric that is very, very popular these days- but have you every wondered what this microfiber truly is?

To the layman who doesn’t want a bunch of technical data, the fiber is microscopically thin..1/100th the diameter of a human hair.

Microfiber bedding, as a result is wonderfully soft to the touch.

Products made from microfibers like nylon and polyester are created with fibers that are also strong and extremely thin. These fibers are even thinner than the most luxurious than natural fibers, such as silk. And get this- microfiber can even be made to feel like suede, cotton or silk! How cool is that?

Fabric created from microfiber that is then used to create your bedding means that you will have products that are lighter, more comfortable, long lasting, breathable and even easier to clean. And it doesn’t come with a high price tag either.

Products created from these fibers are also great for allergy sufferers.

Dust mites can live in such places as comforters, pillows and mattresses, microfiber can be woven into dense covers that do not allow the dust mites to escape and bother the allergy sufferer. Microfiber is an invention that has made a big difference in the lives of those with allergies. Zip on pillow covers, quality mattress pads, duvets to cover comforters and even comforters made with microfiber exteriors have reduced the problems for those allergic to dust mites significantly.

But these products are not just for those with allergies.

Let’s look at some of the great bedding you can find made from microfiber:

The Bolder Peak Comforter by Columbia is a great example of the use of microfiber to create practical bedding at low prices.

This reversible comforter has an exterior shell made of 250 thread count microfiber and 100% polyester filling. The comforter is labeled machine washable. Color combinations are navy/camel, black/blue and Berry/China Berry. Practical as bedding choices for dorm rooms, guest rooms, master bedrooms and every bedroom in your house, you’ll love the prices you’ll find on these microfiber comforters by Columbia.

Dockers doesn’t just make clothing anymore.

The famous Dockers label can now be found on bedding- including a reversible comforter set that comes with matching bed skirt and shams.

The microfiber polyester outer shell holds 100% polyester filling to create a lightweight but cozy comforter. Stain Defender technology means that spills and stains will be few and easy to remove because they will not bond with the fabric. Amethyst, black, navy and other colors are combined to provide lots of color choices in the reversible comforter. The pillow shams and bed skirt match one side of the comforter and coordinate with the other side. This microfiber choice is a great way to stretch your bedding dollar.

Microsuede and microfiber combine to create a great comforter from the J.C. Penny line of bedding.

One side of the reversible comforter is microfiber polyester, the other side is polyester microsuede, providing variation in textures. The hypoallergenic 100% polyester filling makes this machine washable comforter a great choice. Available with matching cotton/polyester blend pillow shams. Colors are black/tarragon, navy/wedgewood and thyme/tarragon.

If you want a comforter that feels like real down, you’ll want to know about Camden’s Reversible Down-Like Comforter. This bedding is filled with microgel, a down-like product that is allergy resistant and has that luxurious down feel. The outer shell is polyester microfiber and ten reversible color combinations are available. If you love down but don’t love the weight of down, you’ll love this down-like microgel filling inside the lightweight microfiber shell.

If you prefer blankets to comforters, Biederlack has created the Aurora Microfiber Bed Blanket that is light weight yet warm and cozy. The soft feel of the microfiber makes this bedding choice perfect in any and every one of the nine beautiful colors available. All common sizes are also available. You’ll want to add several to your bedding collection because they are reasonably priced yet high quality and fully machine washable.

Remember to read and follow the care labels on your bedding created from microfiber. Most microfiber should not be left in a hot dryer for prolonged periods of time. The material dries quickly because of the tiny fibers in the bedding.

Hotel Collection Bedding

By admin on Saturday, February 7th, 2009 | No Comments

Hotel Linens

Hotels began putting high quality sheets on their beds to provide a luxurious experience for their guests, and to separate themselves from competitors.

Frette Hotel Collection Linens are recognizable to millions of travelers because they began putting 100% Egyptian cotton bedding in the world’s elite hotels.

Pioneer Linens features Frette linens because of their time-honored tradition of quality. Frette Italian linen starts with the best fiber and ends with superior weaving and finishing. When you’re looking for the luxury of Frette linen, think Pioneer Linens.

Frette History

The name Frette is synonymous with luxury because of the company’s long-standing passion for quality. Edmond Frette established the fine linen company in Grenoble, France in 1860. Along with his partners, Frette created a firm focused solely on fabric, allowing them to become the worldwide leader in the specialty. Soon two factories were established in Sovico and Concorezzo, Italy, where the company is still based today. Frette opened retail stores in Milan, and its first boutique opened on Bond Street in London in 1877, offering linens of the highest quality. Since then Frette linen has expanded worldwide, from Hong Kong to Beverly Hills. Over the years the company reorganized numerous times to accommodate expansion and growth for a product that was becoming highly desired. In 1978 Frette sheets became available in the United States.

Frette Quality Tradition

Frette led the industry by introducing new ways of producing fine linens. In 1880, Frette began to use Vicenzi looms allowing the company to produce intricate damasks unlike any others. These new methods of production enabled the unique company to stand apart and start fulfilling special requests, such as providing linens for the Ministry of Foreign Affairs for the Kingdom of Italy. Embassies all over the world soon followed suit, and many noble European families began seeking Frette linen. Today, Frette bedding and table linens can be found in the homes of the elite and in many boutiques and hotels, such as the Ritz in Paris and the Plaza in New York. Frette outfitted the Titanic, St. Peter’s Basilica, the Orient Express, and the Queen Mary II. Frette introduced a home-wear collection in 1889, focusing on comfortable clothing for people relaxing at home. Almost a century later, the Frette-To-Wear collection provides elegant lounging attire.

Frette Hotel Bedding Collection

Frette led the fine linen industry again by introducing luxurious sheets to many of the world’s elite hotels. Frette hotel bedding has become the style of choice for many people who first experienced premium Frette sheets during a stay at a five-star hotel such as Claridge’s in London. The 100% Egyptian cotton, 200 thread count Frette Hotel Collection proves that true quality is found in bedding that starts with the best fiber and ends with the best finishing. The fiber, 100% Egyptian long-staple cotton, is superior to other grades of cotton by virtue of its strength, length, and softness. The finishing is performed by the delicate hands of Italian craftsmen whose expertise has been practiced through centuries of tradition. The result is unmatched luxurious bed linens.

Frette sheets in the hotel collection display an embroidered double-piping for classic bed linens with modern appeal. Enjoy the quality chosen by the world’s finest hotels for the comfort you deserve every night at home.

Choosing Your Bed Linen

Buying The Right Bed Sheets

Make sure that you get the right type of bedding! After all, you spend a lot of your life in your bed sleeping and rejuvenating for the next day’s activity.

Sleeping is a process that takes up roughly about about a third of the average person’s life. So it makes sense that you would want to make your bed comfortable and a pleasure to be in. It also is a nice bonus if the bedding you choose enhances the overall decor of your home and is pleasing to the eye.

discount bed linens

Bed sheets are an important part of the overall bedding items used on a bed, and here are a few guidelines for choosing high quality bed sheets that you will be happy with:

Size of bed sheets is a very important factor. It used to be that most mattresses were pretty standard sizes and so you could buy sheets in genralized categories like “Full”, “Queen”, and “King”, and be reasonably sure that they would fit right out of the box.

But lately, mattress manufacturers have gone to adding more features to their mattresses to make them appeal to a wider range of customers, like adding pillow tops on one side or even both sides of the mattress. This added material makes the mattress much wider and therefore any bed sheets that are used on that bed will need to be bigger as well in order to fit properly. That’s why it’s a good idea to actually measure your bed in advance and make sure that the sheets will fit your particular mattress before buying them. You may have to buy one category larger or more to fit your bed.

Thread count is another important consideration when buying bed sheets. Thread count per inch, or TPI, states how many threads are in a square inch of the bed sheet material. Generally speaking, anything over 250 makes for a soft, comfortable feel, and also tends to last longer and hold up under more use. Try to avoid bed sheets that have very low thread counts under 200.

The kind of material used for bed sheets can vary considerably, from cotton to exotic silks. Cotton seems to be the most popular, but you may also want to experiment with fleece bed sheets flannel sheets, and cotton mixed fabrics. Satins and silks are considered very high end and tend to be expensive, but some people really enjoy them as bed sheets, and wouldn’t use anything else.

After practical considerations such as these are made, you just have to decide what colors and designs that you want on your bed and we recommend that you try to stay within the overall theme of your bedroom’s decor. Selecting bed sheets is is simple if you follow these basic guidelines, and they will reward you with years of good service.

Master Bedroom Bedding

Quite awhile ago, we discussed whether or not you all like the unmade bed look.

Thread Count Per Inch Is Important

Thread count per inch or TPI is an important factor to be considered while buying a bed sheet. Bedsheets with higher TPI (more than 250) are softer, more comfortable and last longer.

How To Buy Quality Bedding

There are so many places in our daily life where we tend to compromise on quality for cheaper buys. But when it comes to picking something on which you spend a third of your life, select quality.

Silk And Satin Bedding

Silk and satin bedding are an affordable luxury.

Reading About Wonderful Bed Sheets

Bed sheets seem to be the latest fad. Bed sheets however are an important part of getting a good night sleep, much more than we previously thought. That is what extra long twin sheets are like.
