Luxury Bedding for your Canopy Bed

If you’re really looking to make a statement of luxury in your bedroom then you won’t go far wrong with a grand four poster canopy bed. They exude romance and sophistication and will make you the envy of your neighbors!

However do make sure that you go the whole hog and spend some extra money on some luxury bedding to match. The whole effect will be for nothing if you don’t use the best quality materials for your bed covers and pillow cases.

This type of bedding isn’t cheap but it is of higher quality and will last a long time. Furthermore these linens will really finish off your interior design to perfection.

It doesn't need to be designer linen, just good quality and plain bedding can work very well with a canopy bed as the bed itself has the starring role in your bedroom design.

Luxury Bedding Ensembles

When you see beautiful bedding ensembles you just know that they shout luxury. They don't have to be made of silk or pure cotton (in fact they might be impractical for you) but often they

• look like they have been custom made for your bed - there are so many individual pieces
• are made in quality fabric that is meant to resist fading and last through repeated and frequent laundering
• have reinforced seams or piping to help with wear and tear
  
• have a number of options so you can pick and choose the items you require for your bed (and sometimes other items in your bedroom such as curtains, tablecloths and lamps)
  
• have reversible shams and comforters so that you can ring the changes with the look of your bedding

If you are ever tempted to buy cheap bedding try and resist. You will be disappointed at the results. For a short time you will be pleased with the bargain you got and then as your bedding ensemble fades and pills (little fiber balls develop on the surface of the fabric) and the fabric goes limp and thin you'll see that it was a false economy.

What is Luxury in Bedding?

Luxury in bedding is

• freshly laundered bedding. Cool clean sheets to climb into not sheets that haven't been changed for two weeks
  
• smoothness. You want a smooth silky feel (which you can achieve without silk bedding) and sheets which have been ironed smooth. Not rough cotton or cotton with little bobble (pills) or rumpled sheets or covers. Also a high thread count will give the fabric a smoother feel than a low one.
• sheen - the high thread count will give the fabric a luster without being overly shiny.
  
• quality design - a design which suits the style of your bedroom and your taste.
  
• comfort - plenty of layers to get the temperature right
  
• interesting make up of the bed - how you make your bed with additional items such as throws. comforters and beautiful pillows can add a touch of luxury
