Why should I spend more on my home textiles?

Did you know that you spend almost a third of your day in your bed? Paying a little more up-front to ensure the best in quality for your luxury bedding, comforters, bath towels and other home textiles can actually save you money in the long run. When properly cared for, Biancheria’s luxury comforter sets and home textiles can last many years with the same high-end look and feel as the day you purchased them.Â
I’m used to flat sheets. Why would I get a duvet cover?
A duvet cover is the ultimate in style and convenience. It gives your bedroom a complete makeover, whereas a flat sheet stays mostly covered by the comforter. Using a duvet cover also allows for easy and frequent washing of the cover without having to worry about washing the duvet itself.
What is the difference between a pillowcase, an envelope and a sham?
A pillowcase is a three-sided fabric cover for your pillow. The fourth side stays open. An envelope has a fourth side that looks like an envelope because it gets tucked inside underneath the pillow. A sham is the most elegant with a finished flange edging around all four sides.
Why should I buy down products?
Goose down comforters, duvets, blankets and pillows not only provide that five-star hotel experience, but their high-end quality will last for many years. Down filling resists clumping and has consistent coverage to give you a pleasant, uninterrupted night’s sleep.
Will I be too hot or too cold with down products?
Goose down comforters, duvets and blankets are some of the most sought-after products because of how lightweight they are while still providing efficient warmth. Down is also extremely breathable and helps to eliminate perspiration. Biancheria will work with you to select the specific weight (summer, winter, or all year-round) perfect for you.
What if I am allergic to feathers or down?
If you desire the luxuriousness of a down comforter, duvet or pillow but are hesitant to purchase one due to an allergy, Biancheria can help you select an alternative filling that will still maintain the look and feel you desire.
What is thread count and does it matter?
Thread count refers to the number of threads per square inch of fabric. Generally speaking, the higher the thread count, the softer and smoother the sheets. While thread count is somewhat meaningful for cotton sheets, it is not an indicator of quality for other fabrics such as linen or satin. Things get trickier because companies oftentimes will fudge the thread count numbers in order to make a fabric seem softer and more appealing. However, after a few washes, the sheeting will already begin to show signs of wear. A much more reliable indicator of quality is long staple cotton. This is a description of the raw material that the fabric is constructed from. Biancheria can help you determine which fabric makes sense for you and will help you select the best sheets to fit your taste and price point.
What is gram weight?
Gram weight is a measure of the density of a fabric, usually used as a quality indicator for towels. It is measured by grams per square meter, with a higher gram weight meaning a thicker, more weighty towel. But there are other factors to consider for a towel, too, like high or low twist, weave, and fabric type.
How should I clean and store my comforters and bedding?
