The short answer is, yes! These are simply different terminologies for the same product and are used interchangeably.
The duvet/quilt/doona cover is what "covers" the duvet/quilt/doona infill to ensure your body isn't in contact with a synthetic or uncomfortable fabric.
Here at DEIA Living we´re big fans of cotton so we recommend all luxury quilt covers to be made from a high quality long fibre cotton, in an ideal world a true Egyptian cotton.
The choice of the thread count you prefer is generally down to personal preference keeping in mind a higher thread count doesn't necessarily mean a more luxurious quilt cover.
Also a very popular choice for quilt covers is the french flax linen, ecologically sustainable bamboo sheets and gaining notoriety is lyocell which is made from the pulp of eucalyptus trees.
A general rule of thumb is match your mattress with the corresponding sized quilt and quilt cover. ie a queen duvet and duvet cover goes with a queen mattress likewise king with king. This will sit nicely on the top of the bed with a small amount of overhang on each side of the mattress.
If however you want a more decorative luxury quilt cover look for your bedding with a European style we recommend going up a size for your duvet and duvet cover so the overhang is a little deeper. This means, if you have a queen size mattress we would recommend a king size duvet infill and it's king size duvet cover.
Like many things bedding related a lot depends on personal preference and style.
Generally speaking a quilt and duvet should be used separately. As they serve the same purpose one may find they are too hot and feel heavy under the blankets if both a quilt and duvet are used together.
This is a common question and one that is very personal. Several factors influence whether a flat sheet is necessary with your quilt cover. Firstly, how much you move at night? It doesn´t matter how soft and comfortable your cotton bed sheets might be, there are some people who move a whole lot during their sleep and get wrapped up and therefore woken by too many layers of sheets. If this is you, and your flat sheet always ends kicked off the bottom of the bed we would suggest simply using a luxury quilt cover.
On the other hand, if you don´t move much during the night a plus of using a flat sheet is you can save yourself some linen loads as you won´t need to wash your quilt cover as regularly. This is not only more environmentally friendly however also will extend the life of your luxury quilt cover.
Other factors to consider are if you're a hot sleeper and perspire at night? If so, less layers are better. Not only could the extra flat sheet annoy you however it's likely both quilt cover and flat sheet would end up damp causing extra washing on a more regular basis therefore having no real benefit to using both.
Finally the aesthetic element! Using both a flat sheet with a quilt cover gives a very elegant and styled look. If you're concerned about showing your Egyptian cotton bed linen in all it's beauty then for you, we recommend using both!
The short answer is YES! Cotton Bed Sheets are extremely hypoallergenic.
Cotton is one of the most common natural fibres for hypoallergenic sheets as it's it's soft, breathable and wicks moisture from your body. Cotton has natural anti-microbial properties meaning dust mites won´t stick around in your bed.
Our number one recommendation if looking for hypoallergenic cotton bedding is avoid any cottton and synthetic blends. Stick to 100% Egyptian cotton bed linen or long fibre cotton bedding.
Yes you certainly can. If you would like to check the quality of our material we are more than happy to send you a pack of swatches containing the material from each of our cotton bed sheet collections. Please complete our sample request form here.
Egyptian cotton bed linen is a real plus when you buy "true" Egyptian cotton as it has superior softness due to its long staple fibres. Egyptian cotton bed linen feels incredibly smooth against the skin, has a lustrous sheen and a luxurious appearance most people desire in their bedroom. It helps your skin breath at night keeping you warm in winter and cool in summer.
Likewise due to this longer more durable fibre your bed linen will remain looking new and fresh for longer avoiding pesky pilling and discolouration. The problem arises as it's hard to distinguish real Egyptian cotton bed linen products from others which are claiming to be so however are made from an inferior quality. Most of the time one doesn´t realise until you´ve got them home and onto your bed. In some instances it takes just 2 to 3 washes for the pilling to become apparent and for these nasty sheets to start deteriorating.
Common sense generally comes into play here, so if the price tag sounds too good to be true then it probably isn´t the real deal! Sometimes paying a little more now saves you a lot in the long run.
