Soft and Warm Fleece Sheets

Who would have guessed that there is more than are more than one kind of fleece sheets? There is micro fleece, polar fleece and plush fleece. And all of these are used to make fleece sheets, blankets, clothing and more.

Traditional fleece is actually the unique interlocking hair fibers on certain sheep and alpacas that are sheared, processed and spun into wool yarn and then into woolen fabrics. Due to the itchy quality of wool, and the often high price of woolen goods, a synthetic fleece fabric was developed in the nineteen-seventies as an softer, itch-free, less expensive alternative to traditional wool. Made from recycled plastic bags and bottles it is an eco-friendly synthetic material as well as being safe for those with an allergy to wool, or extremely sensitive skin that would otherwise be unable to have skin contact with wool products made from animal fleece.

Originally used for outerwear because of the water-repellent and heat-preserving qualities of this dense fiber, it is now used to manufacture anything that can be made from traditional wool.

Different names are used to describe synthetic fleece but in reality there are only 2 types. Micro fleece sheets and polar fleece sheets are names used for the same product. They are simply a fleece that is densely woven to create a fabric that is not only water-repellent, but will wick away moisture and continue to provide warmth even when wet. This product is available in varying thickness with micro being thinnest and most supple, with the next being 100, 200 and 300 which is thickest with less flexibility. Plush fleece is the name given to the soft, thick and luxurious fleece that is often used for thick robes and stuffed toys. Plush fleece makes a great alternative to flannel sheets as it is thick and cushioned as well as soft and warm.

Using synthetic fleece sheets is a good idea, not just for those with an allergy or sensitivity to real wool fleece, but for everyone as it holds in body heat but, like cotton, is a breathable fabric allowing moisture to dry quickly while keeping your skin feeling warm and dry. Perfect for cold winter nights to chill at bay fleece sheets are available in a wide choice of colors and prints perfect for the master bedroom to the nursery and every age in between.

Designer Bedding Ensembles

If you’re looking for designer bedding ensembles, then you have obviously realized that the best bedding ensembles are often produced by designers and top brands. You pay more but then you receive more in terms of quality. If you are looking for the best bedding that you can buy, try European designer bedding where some of the great Belgian and French brands such as Yves Delorme, Descamps and Jardin Secret offer a wonderful section of designer coordinated bedding to choose from. Other brands well worth looking at are Missoni, Conran and Orla Kiely.

Of course, you don’t want to pay just for the designer name. You need to know that what you are buying is top quality too especially as great bedding can make all the difference in terms of getting a good night’s rest.
Bedding ensembles come in a wide range of prices from those which suit the most limited budget to the top end designer bed linens you are considering.

As with most purchases you get what you pay for to a certain extent with the designer bedding sets generally being made with better fabric, better trimmings and better finish. However if you are careful you might very well find a good quality bedding ensemble within the cheaper brands. It is good to be able to seek out quality in any case as the difference between poor quality and acceptable quality may not always be immediately apparent. So what makes a bedding ensemble top quality? Here is a guide to what to look for when buying a bedding ensemble whether a brand name designer bedding set or a good quality department store purchase.

1. Feel the Difference

Do not buy a bedding ensemble by an unknown manufacturer without feeling the fabric. This can tell you so much. You need to determine how smooth the fabric is (rough means poor quality unless the bedding is meant to have a texture) and how substantial it feels. Some poor quality fabrics have starch added to make them seem thicker. But if you feel a good quality substantial fabric and then one which has been stiffened with starch you should be able to tell the difference. Designer bedding brands, of course, have a reputation to uphold so you are more likely to receive great quality without having to touch the product before purchase. It is safer to buy brand name bedding online than to buy bedding without a brand.

If you have found a bedding set that you love but you have never heard of the manufacturer check out the thread count – if it is high then you should be OK to purchase especially if the website has a good refund and returns policy.

2. See the Difference

A poor quality bedding ensemble may look as good as an expensive one on the surface. The designs are often first class and up to the minute. However you should be able to tell the difference in the depth of color of the dyes used on the fabric. The finish on a less expensive ensemble will often make the difference too. Expensive duvet covers, for example, often have pipe or double seams for strength and they are fastened with proper buttons and buttonholes rather than cheaper press studs or poppers. Trimming too will often be far superior on a high end ensemble as you will often have embroidery, pleating, beading or other expensive details.

There is usually something in the designer bedding ensembles that sets them apart from more common or garden bedding – you will know it when you come across that special element as your eye will be drawn to the detail that counts whether that is the smoothness of the fabric, intricate pleating or delicate cut work embroidery.
