Now that we’ve covered some common materials, let’s go over different weave and knit styles. Remember, sheets made with different weave or knit styles can feel and perform drastically differently — even if they are made from the same material.
The texture of these towels is not just for show; it serves a functional purpose too. Waffle weave towels, for instance, are lightweight and quick-drying, perfect for those who prefer a towel that doesn't stay damp for long. Ribbed towels offer a gentle exfoliating effect, while the plush terry loops provide unparalleled absorbency and softness. Bamboo-cotton blends, on the other hand, are known for their antibacterial properties and exceptional softness, making them an eco-friendly and luxurious choice.Whilst it is thought that they were used in Norway during the time of the Vikings, the duvet fashion truly spread throughout Europe during the 16th century.
When it comes to maintenance, lightweight organic duvets are surprisingly low-maintenance. Regular airing and gentle washing with eco-friendly detergents are usually sufficient to keep them fresh and hygienic. This not only saves time and effort but also minimizes the environmental impact of frequent washing.
