Whilst it is thought that they were used in Norway during the time of the Vikings, the duvet fashion truly spread throughout Europe during the 16th century.
Polycotton sheets or 'easy care' sheets are made with a blend of man-made polyester (a type of plastic) and cotton. Polycotton bed linen is generally cheap to buy and easy to care for. It dries quickly and doesn't require much ironing.
How has the bed evolved over time?
For a very long time, cotton was the go-to choice for bedding because, in general, it is durable, affordable, soft, easy to care for and is comfortable to sleep on.
When we use the term bed linen we are generally referring to the sheets used to cover the mattress so that the sleeper is comfortable and the mattress is protected. If blankets or covers are being used a second sheet needs to be used for comfort between the sleeper and the roughness of the blankets. If a continental quilt is being used the top sheet is usually omitted.
From a practical standpoint folding and ironing flat sheets is fairly easy, however, fitted sheets are more difficult to fold neatly and iron because of the elasticated corners. Opt for modern lightweight polyester/cotton fabrics and your bed linen probably won't need ironing anyway!
To sum up, when choosing good flannel sheets, you need to consider the material, production process, and care instructions. By choosing bedsheets made from high-quality materials from reputable bedsheet manufacturers and paying attention to fabric weight and care instructions, you can ensure that you are purchasing comfortable, durable flannel sheets that will provide you with years of quality sleep. Come.
