Bedding is the collection of soft furnishings that dress a bed, including sheets, pillowcases, duvet covers and inserts, quilts and coverlets, shams, and accent pillows. The term covers the layers you sleep on and under, from the fitted and flat sheets against the mattress to the duvet or coverlet on top. Choosing bedding is about combining these pieces in the materials, sizes, and styles that suit how you sleep and the look you want. Bassett offers sheets, duvet covers and inserts, quilts and coverlets, shams, and throws to build a complete set.
Yes, cotton sheets are cool because cotton is breathable and wicks moisture, which is why it is one of the best choices for hot sleepers. Crisp percale cotton in particular sleeps cooler than warmer materials. For hot sleepers, breathable natural fibers like cotton and linen are better than satin or polyester, since satin can trap heat and polyester bedding tends to sleep warm and breathe less. If you use a duvet, the best duvet insert for hot sleepers is a lightweight, lower-fill option that adds less warmth. Bassett's cotton sheets and lightweight duvet inserts suit warmer sleepers.
No, queen sheets do not fit a full bed properly because a queen mattress is wider and longer than a full. A full mattress is about 54 inches wide, and a queen is about 60 inches wide and 5 inches longer, so queen sheets will be loose on a full and can slip off the corners. For the best fit, match the sheet size to your mattress size rather than sizing up. If your mattress is deeper than standard, check the pocket depth on the fitted sheet so it fits over the mattress.
