Think Variety – keep three sets of sheets for each bed…

When you’re stocking the linen closet, think variety.  A set of sateen or Egyptian cotton percale sheets in your preferred color scheme will keep the bed cool and comfortable in the summer.

For Winter, a flannel set provides cozy warmth.  At’s also a good idea to have three sets of sheets:  One on the bed, one in the closet, and one in the laundry.  Rotating sheets makes them last longer.

Also invest in at least two duvet covers, one for summer and one for winter.

Neutral bedrooms are very calming, but can become boring.   To keep things updated and lively, chose standout furniture and accents. 

It’s all about accents;  In this bedroom a four poster bed with a white Duvet Cover at the foot of the bed creates drama.  Next to the bed, a dresser with a hand painted floral pattern adds interest and cottage charm.  The antique candelabras on both side of the bed  adds to the vintage feel.

How do I care for my new down comforter?

You just made this investment on a Goose Down Comforter and you want to protect your investment.

First, when you unpack your down comforter that you just received from The Trendy Bed,  it may appear wrinkled and flat.  You can restore the natural loft by vigorously shaking or fluffing in your dryer on LOW…

You can air your new comforter OUT of direct sunlight for a day or two before using it for the first time, and every 3 to 6 months thereafter.  (Draping it across a clothes line under my back yard patio, out of the direct sun is the best way I have found to do this.)

With proper care, your down comforter will give you years of comfort.  A comforter cover (Duvet Cover) will extend its life even more.

Comforter Cleaning:  The Trendy Bed recommends to have your down comforter professionally dry cleaned.

Orange bedding is cropping up all over lately.  Here’s how to gradually work this brave hue onto your bed.

1.  If you add just one colorful item to your bedding, let it be an orange throw.  You can be brave and add an ethnic textile of some kind, or it could be just a solid throw.

2.  For more color, add a duvet cover or comforter on which orange is the major player.  Keep the rest of your bedding white to play it safe.

3.  Build on the duvet cover with matching shams and throw pillows in an accent color or two.  The white sheets stay in place.

Satin Duvet Cover

The Best Closures:

Duvet covers are usually fastened across the open end with buttons, snaps, ties, hoot-n-loop strips or a zipper.  This makes the covers easy to remove for washing.  Look for duvet covers with a quality zipper, strong snaps, color matched hoot-n-loop strips or buttons that are sewn tightly and reinforced at the stitching.  Make sure that the buttonholes are well stitched so they won’t fray in the laundry.  These are all signs of quality and will add to the life of your duvet cover.

Duvet Cover Fabrics:

Fabric preferences are different for everyone.  Some of the fabrics used in duvets are:

Cotton:  Cotton is the most common material for duvet covers.  Cotton can be made into limitless patterns and textures.  It is easily dyed, easy to dare for, soft and has great breath ability.

Blends:  Cotton-polyester combines the best of natural and synthetic fibers.  These blends – durable polyesters with soft, breathable cottons – are ideal for easy care, no iron bedding.

Satin: Satin is luxurious, soft and ofter washable.  Satin will take vibrant dyes in the most gorgeous colors and is an elegant duvet cover choice.

Faux suede:  Faux suede is usually a polyester fabric which feels and looks like the real suede.  Being imitation, it is more affordable and easier to clean than real suede, and it comes in hundreds of colors.

Velvet:  Most velvets are polyester blends and washable.  This heavier look in a duvet cover may be better for the cooler months.

“Duvet” is the French word for the down of birds, the under-feathers that have no spine.

A duvet cover is like a huge pillowcase for your comforter.  Duvet covers can be changed as ofter as you want to wash them or whenever you change the style of your bedding.  They open on one end for inserting the comforter.  To put the duvet cover on, turn it inside out, place it at one end of your comforter, than pull it up over the comforter, turning it right-side out as you go.

You’ll find duvet covers in sizes to fit all comforters. They are sold in similar sizes as all other bedding, they are ofter generously sized to accommodate your particular comforter.  The approximate duvet cover sizes are:

• Twin:  63 inches x 85 inches to 68 inches x 88 inches
• Full/Queen:  85 inches x 91 inches to 90 inches x 92 inches
• King:  104 inches x 92 inches to 106 inches x 92 inches
• California King:  102 inches x 99 inches

Duvet covers come in thread counts (TC or tc) just as sheets do.  Thread count indicates the number of threads in each square inch the fabric.  You can find duvet covers with thread counts from 100 to 1000 and even higher.  A 300 TC Cotton Duvet Cover is good for a quality duvet cover, but the higher the thread count you buy, for more expensive it will be, and the softer the material it will be.
