Linens Ultimately The Softest Where They Count

Linens, be they table linens or bed linens have become a multi-billion dollar annual industry and have become a décor necessity when it comes to home accents. Linens impart a story of detail, and in the case of those handed down from generation to generation, a story of heritage. From table runners to napkins and table cloths linens add a touch of sophistication to any formal dining occasion.

In the case of bed linens, thread counts impart a story of quality and luxury with higher thread counts and imported cotton from Egypt remaining the ultimate statement in home décor luxury. From sheets to pillow cases, duvet covers and other accessories, linens are intended to be functional providing warmth in the cooler months, and as natural fabrics, breathing during the warmer months In both cases, comfort is the prevailing priority, but it never hurts to look good as well.

While thread count is an important consideration when it comes to choosing your bed linens, it is not the only consideration. Look also at the type of cotton and the weave for the ultimate in softness. Softness is dictated so much by thread count as it is by weave and the quality of the natural fiber. The highest quality linens are comprised of extra long fibers.

The final factor in your linens selection is the bed on which they’re to rest and you’ll find your repose. Newer mattresses tend to be thicker and as such, ensure you choose a fitted sheet set that will tuck comfortably under the mattress without slipping out.

For table linens, variety proves the spice of life and in combination with surrounding decor make for the perfect setting. Whether interchanged by the season or by the event, the ability to mix and match between table cloths, runners, placemats, napkins and even chair cover slips provide endless color and decor options. Tones can be picked up from wherever you choose include upholstery, floor treatments and even place settings to run the gamut from formal to festive to frivolous as dicated by the occasion at hand.
