YOUR bedding is used
more than anything else
you own, so spend a lit-
tle extra time planning
out the pieces before
spending the money.

These days sheets, pillow-
cases and duvet covers come in
a variety of colours and tex-
tures and this can be quite
overwhelming at first.

If you are redecorating
vour bedroom most designers
agree that the best place to
start is vour bed. It’s the main
foeal point in the room and
the walls and drapes can be
tailored to match the fabric on
the bed.

There are three things to
keep in mind when purchasing
a down duver. The first is the
quality of the fill, There are no
regulations on what is sold as
“down,” therefore the manu-
facturer does not have to iden-
tify the “All.” Ask your retailer
to identify the various qualities
of the down products.

The “loft” denotes the
quality of the down.

Second, it’s a good idea to
pay attention to the fabric or
shell of the duvet. The fabrics
range from heavy to very
lightweight cottons.

Egyptian cotton sheets and
duvets are considered to be

the best. These Egyptian cot-
tons feel incredible because of
the high thread count. A regu-
lar bed linen has a 180-200
thread count where Egyptian
cotton is 300-600 threads per
square inch. The end result is
silky, beautiful sheets that will
last a very Jong time.

Lastly, when purchasing
your bedding it’s important to

keep your lifestyle in mind. If
you have young children or
pets choose a dark and durable
fabric. And remember to cool
wash your bedding with 2 mild
soap and finish it off on the
cool cycle in your dryer.
