Our Olympic Queen comforters are woven 6 inches wider than a regular Queen comforter to accomodate the extra width of your bed. Sometimes King size pillows can be similar to bed sheets. They are available in a variety of colors and with an Allergy Free polyestor fill. You cannot find a finer Egyptian cotton comforter at a better price anywhere, we guarantee it. They are ususally only available from fine linen botiques.
The colors will match our sheets and comforters, as long as the same fabric is chosen. This is like comforters usually. Here you will find 100% cotton and polycotton blends. Queen sheets usually tend to be a little less expensive too.
Here is a lovely Olympic Queen fitted sheet. Some people consider sheets to be the same. Each set is finely woven with 50/50 Egyptian cotton and polyester yarns to reduce wrinkles and increase durability while still maintaining incredible softness. Many people purchase a regular King or Queen sheet set for their Olympic Queen bed and just use the Olympic Queen fitted sheet.

A bed sheet is a piece of cloth that is designed and used to cover a mattress. A bed sheet serves the purpose of keeping the mattress clean from dirt and provides a more comfortable feel to the sleeper than if he or she were to simply lay on top of the mattress with no sheet. Which is similar to bedding products many times. When I shop for new sheets I always look for the ones with a thread count of at least 300. What the thread count determines is the comfort of the fabric. A good rule of thumb is that the higher the thread count number, the softer the sheets will be. How many of us at some time or another have slept on scratchy sheets or those that are so thin you can almost see through them. We spend a long time asleep during out lifetime so it’s really important to make our sleeping experience as pleasant as possible.
Bed sheets are available in two types: flat and fitted. A flat bed sheet is nothing more than a rectangular-shaped piece of linen. A fitted bed sheet features four corners with elastic bands around the edges and is used as a bottom sheet. A reason for using a fitted bottom sheet is to prevent it from slipping off of the mattress while the sleeper moves around on the bed. A unique method of folding and tucking while making up a bed is referred to as “hospital corners,” and this is typically employed when the bottom sheet is flat as opposed to fitted. Not to be confused with california king beds, which is quite common. There’s no rocket science involved in washing bed sheets but there is one important tip that you may want to consider so as to keep your bed linen in tip top condition. After the wash cycle is complete, run the sheets through an extra rinse cycle to remove any soap residue since this decreases their softness.
The type of fabric that you select when buying your sheets will make a huge impact on your comfort level. And with so many materials available, you should think hard about what type of sleeping experience you desire. The most popular choices are cotton, flannel, and silks and satins. Just like extra long twin sheets usually. What about you? Are you a cotton person or silk? Do you want a frivolous thread count, or will 250 do? Think about your options carefully before you shop for bed sheets and then enjoy your choice.
