What are the types of bedding and how to choose them?
We cannot live without bedding in our lives. Many families have at least ten sets of bedding. Many young people don’t know what types of bedding are included. So what are the types of bedding? The following editor of Decoration Try Network brings you the most complete types of bedding!
Types of bedding and tips for buying them 1. Bedding - several sets

Bedding includes "core" and "cover". When we buy bedding, we often notice that some people say to buy "a few pieces of bedding sets" (usually four-piece sets, six-piece sets, eight-piece sets). In fact, these refer to quilt covers, pillowcases, and sheets. Four-piece sets: 1 quilt cover, 2 pillowcases, and 1 sheet; six-piece sets: 1 quilt cover, 1 sheet, 2 pillowcases, and 2 cushions. Eight-piece sets: generally refers to 2 pillows, 2 short pillowcases, 1 long pillowcase, 1 quilt cover, 1 bedspread/bed skirt, and 1/2 air-conditioning quilts. However, these are just "covers" and do not include "cores".
2. Bedding selection - quilt core
In the past, quilt cores were all made of cotton, but now there are many types of quilt cores. The most common ones are space cotton, fiber, and silk. These quilt cores are much lighter than cotton and have a good warming effect. Wool, down, cashmere, camel hair, camel hair, feathers and other materials are also made into quilt cores for newlyweds to choose from. It is best to choose a natural material for the quilt core, such as the silk quilt that has been popular in recent years, which can be used all year round.
1. Silk quilt

The editor first recommends silk quilts. Breathable, light, soft and comfortable are the biggest features of silk quilts. Some people even describe it as a second layer of skin. Silk has very high moisture absorption and breathability, and is called the "Queen of Fiber". Silk quilts allow human skin to sweat and secrete freely, keeping the skin clean. Silk quilts are thin and light. In winter, you only need to choose a single quilt of about 2 kilograms and a double quilt of about 2.5 kilograms to keep warm. For newlyweds, choosing a silk quilt will ensure that intimate contact is barrier-free.
2. Down Quilt

Newlyweds who have high requirements for quality of life may wish to choose a good down quilt. Down quilts have good warmth retention, so you won't feel stuffy when covered with them, and they can also absorb moisture and perspiration. Down quilts of the same volume weigh only 1-1.5 kg, which is very light. Down quilts are very durable and will not deform. If properly maintained, they can be used for about 30 years. Newlyweds who are allergic to down, please choose carefully.
3. Wool quilt

Wool itself has the characteristic of hanging, so it is very close to the body and comfortable. Because the curly wool contains a lot of air, and the heat transfer rate of air is very low, it can effectively prevent the entry of cold air from the outside and the dissipation of hot air from the inside, so it can achieve high thermal insulation. It is elastic and not easy to get dirty, and it is very easy to clean. However, the breathability of wool quilts is worse than that of down quilts and silk quilts, and they are also heavier. New people can use wool quilts as bedding, and sleeping on them is very comfortable.
4. Camel hair quilt

In addition to keeping warm, quilts made of camel hair also have a three-dimensional feel and are very classy. High-quality camel hair quilts are made from pure camel hair that has been specially treated at high temperatures. Camel hair fibers are fine, have excellent warmth retention, good air permeability, good elasticity and fluffiness, and are suitable for use in damp and cold areas. In winter in Shanghai, which is damp and cold, and there is no heating in the room, the newlyweds can give priority to camel hair quilts when preparing winter quilts.
3. Bedding selection - pillow core

Pillows are increasingly valued as bedding, and expensive pillow cores are everywhere. For example, the newly launched memory pillow is not only very comfortable to sleep on, but also can relax the shoulders. Common pillow cores on the market include: nine-hole pillows, fiber pillows, silk pillows, memory pillows, down pillows, silkworm sand pillows, etc. The pillow should be soft and breathable, not too high or too low, and 8 to 15 cm high is appropriate. The editor recommends going to a physical store to test it first to see which pillow is comfortable, and then go online to buy it. Sleeping with an uncomfortable pillow is very depressing.
4. Bedding selection - quilt cover

Quilt covers range from tens of yuan to thousands of yuan. Why is there such a big price difference? Quilt covers are made of different materials, so the prices are naturally different. When buying quilt covers, pay attention to the following points:
1. Fabric. The duvet cover is a close-fitting cover, so you should choose 100% cotton. It is best to choose twill cotton fabric, which feels dense and thick. The editor will teach you a method that cannot be seen by the merchant, which is to secretly use your fingers to dip a little water and gently wipe the duvet cover to see if it will fade.
2. Size. Whether it is the right size. Some duvet covers are smaller than the actual size indicated. When measuring, if the size is slightly larger than the marked size, this is the merchant's consideration, because pure cotton products will shrink.
3. Here is a little secret about the quilt cover. Turn over the four corners of the quilt cover and check if there are any small strings to tie the quilt. Good quality products will pay enough attention to these details.
5. Bedding selection - pillowcases

The fabric of the pillowcase should be soft, so pure cotton is often used. The pillowcase should have a good feel. When you lie on your side, your face will be pressed against the pillow. If the fabric is not comfortable, you will feel uncomfortable. In terms of details, there should be extra fabric to cover the zipper so that it will not get caught on the sheets. When choosing a pillowcase alone, it is best to bring the pillow with you and try it out in person to prevent the pillowcase from not fitting when you get it home. The size may also be off.
6. Bedding selection - size and color

After talking about the details, let me talk about the size and color of bedding. The size should be determined according to the wedding bed you have already bought and your living habits. Some couples are used to having a single quilt each, while others have a double quilt. When decorating the room of the newlyweds, of course, red should be the main color, but bright red is not very practical. The newlyweds can buy a cheaper bright red four-piece set and use it on the wedding day. For daily use, it is better to use light and elegant colors that are resistant to dirt.
