You don't have to be extravagant in your bed dressing. It could just be a set of sheets made from fine material, topped with a duvet cover and fluffy duvet, or a variety of layers such as blankets, sunflower quilt, and flat sheets. Perhaps it's hidden beneath a bedspread.
Your personal preferences will dictate how you outfit your bed. But are you able to distinguish between layers? What is the difference between duvets and quilts? What is a blanket cover? What should you choose? What is a bed scarf? For more information on bed coverings, scroll down.

The fitted sheet's first layer is the flat sheet. The flat sheet is the first layer to touch the body. It provides a barrier between your bed and any other covers used for warmth or decoration. For a more professional appearance, luxury sheets can be hung down the side of a mattress. However, they are traditionally tucked in all around to give it a cleaner look.
The duvet cover, made from sheeting, is decorative and protective for an insert-the duvet. It comes in different weights and fillings. The Geembi Collection has a variety of options, including down-alternative goose, duck, and Eiderdown. You can use the duvet with a flat or single sheet. A duvet cover can be used alone or with other layers to simplify the process of making a bed. A luxury duvet cover, such as Geembi with decorative trim, can give the bed a finished look. As an additional layer of warmth, a duvet cover can be placed over a blanket or quilt, or folded at the feet of the bed. The duvet cover is hung on the sides of the box spring to cover it. It is not tucked in.
Blanket is a general term that covers any type of bed covering, thicker than a single sheet. This includes comforters, quilts, and duvets. A blanket can also be a woven covering, which is sandwiched between two layers of flat sheets and another layer for warmth. The blanket is draped over the sides of your bed. The Chatham blanket is a versatile favourite.
A blanket cover is an extremely lightweight decorative covering that is placed over a blanket. It is almost like a decorative topsheet. The blanket cover is used as an outer layer on hotel beds. It protects the blanket from damage and doesn't require frequent laundering. You can pull the blanket cover, flat sheet, or fitted sheet off of your bed and wash it in one load. Blanket covers made of poly/cotton blends are easy to wash and require little ironing.
Comforters are a layer that is placed on top of a mattress. The comforter functions in the same way as a duvet or duvet cover but is made from one piece with many functional stitches that ensures that its filling stays evenly distributed. This type of bedcovering is not made by Geembi.
A quilt is made up of three layers: two layers of fabric and batting, which are then stitched together. Sometimes, a decorative design is added. Geembi quilts can be slept under because they are made from the same fabric that the top and fitted sheets. The quilt is lighter than the comforter or duvet cover, but it's also denser. This results in a heavier feeling on the top of the body. You can use luxury quilts alone, or over a sheet or blanket.

A coverlet is a bedcovering that has sides that extend a few inches beyond the box spring but do not touch the floor. If edged with decorative trim, a coverlet can be pulled in or tucked out. You can layer luxury coverlets directly on a flat sheet or blanket. Geembi covers come in a variety of fabrics, including pique and matelasse, which are woven on a jacquard-loom to create an allover texture. Although it may look like a quilt at times, a coverlet has only one layer of fabric that is woven in a manner that replicates quilting techniques.
Luxury throw blankets can be small decorative blankets with trim or fringe that can be used as extra warmth or decoration or to cover the bed when you're lying down. It is usually folded at the foot and placed on top of any other bedding.
