What Makes Luxury Bedding Luxurious?

Luxury is a word that gets thrown around a lot when it comes to bedding. At One’s Nest, we define luxury by a stricter standard. It’s not a price point or a look of bedding. Luxury is quality. It’s bedding that’s made with high-quality materials and sewn together with the finest craftsmanship. It’s bedding designed with the ultimate comfort in mind so that when you slip into bed, you immediately feel calmer and more relaxed. It’s bedding designed to gently cradle you into sweet dreams.

One’s Nest hunts out the highest quality luxury bed sets, curating a designer bedding selection for customers who seek the best.

As you’re shopping luxury bed sets, there are certain criteria you can look for to ensure you’re getting the highest quality designer bedding.

Craftsmanship. A sign of true luxury bedding is one that is made to order and handcrafted. A bedding set that is handcrafted by experienced tailors offers more comfort and quality than one manufactured by the thousands in a factory. You may have to wait 8-10 weeks for a custom bedding order, but the quality you will experience is guaranteed to be worth it.

Handcrafting.There are different types of handcrafting for bedding. A hand-tacked comforter is a deluxe piece of bedding in which the layers are tied together by hand. Similarly, luxury quilts are hand-sewn.

Finely crafted duvets are multi-layered pieces of bedding that is at once a sheet and comforter in luxury bedding sets. Luxury duvets have ties in each corner to hold the insert in place.

The Design.Even the design on luxury bedding is handcrafted and can be a time-consuming process. A design may be embroidered, or sewn onto a fabric. It can also be embossed, a calendaring process, which produces a raised design or pattern in relief on luxury bedding. With embossing, a design is pressed into fabric or leather by passing it through hot, engraved rollers. Velvet or plush is embossed by shearing the pile to different levels or by pressing parts flat.

With true luxury bedding, no detail goes unnoticed. Borders are carefully attended to, with a hand-sewn seam or scalloped loops, or even woven patterns such as stripes or chevrons.

Depth and layering.Depth and layering of materials add another dimension of luxury to custom bedding. When it comes to duvet inserts, Fill Power signifies the number of cubic inches filled by one ounce of down. The higher the number, the more warmth and loft. With luxury comforters, the inserted batting will determine the loft. Similarly the more loft, the more warmth.

Classic style.Luxury bedding sets from top designers feature a classic style that is both sophisticated and fresh. A custom bedding collection pulls together all the pieces you need for a completed looks. This may include decorative pillows, shams, and the comforter or duvet, all pieces designed to complement each other and inject a sense of style to any bedroom setting.
