Confused about all those bedding items you see at the bedding store? Shams, duvets, sheets, bedskirts, body pillows — what are all those, what do they look like and where do they go on the bed? I found a simple illustrated photo from A Beautiful Bedroom to help us identify:

Personally I don’t have all of this for our own bed because it makes sleeping better impossible. But there are those people though who prefer to have them.

Combining ultra modern design with a style that is also Asian-inspired, this Worth Platform bed is quite low-profile yet provides a great balance in the bedroom and is truly meant for relaxing and enjoying the best comforts of sleep. The base on the bed is made of solid and sturdy wood panels.

The platform bed accommodates mattresses only, without the box springs. The night stands are the optional accents.

Currently on sale for  $1,499.99.

Sateen or Satin? Many people do get confused by this. Both are luxury bedding types, but which one is better and which one do you need? Here’s how to easily distinguish between a sateen and a satin:

Sateen is a very smooth material made from cotton. It’s used more popularly for bed sheets and feels cooler on the skin.

Satin is also a smooth material coming from either rayon, silk or nylon sources. It is characteristically shiny and would be best used for accents like pillows and throws.
