Sateen Bedding Sets

A duvet is made from cloth sewn to form a large bag, then filled with down or other soft materials. A duvet is used as the top layer of bedding to keep the sleeper warm as they rest.

It has become a little harder to define duvet because some use the word interchangeably with comforter. In fact, some dictionaries include the word comforter in the entry, as a synonym. But in fact, the two pieces of bedding are not the same.

The word duvet comes from the french for down, and down is still a very popular filling for duvets. Today, you can still find duvets filled with down as well as other natural choices such as wool or feathers. Alternatively, synthetic fiber duvets offer a hypoallergenic duvet option.

What is a  cotton Sateen material ? 

Sateen -- a term that defines the type of weave in fabric -- has a softer, silkier feel as compared to cotton sheets made from a plain or standard weave. But, while sateen sheets may feel softer to the touch, they don't have the lifespan that plain weaves offer. When you're buying sheets, look at the type of cotton, thread count, the fabric weave, and ultimately, what feels best against your skin.
