How many sets of linens should be listed on the bridal registry?
 

A good rule of thumb is three sets:
  • One on the bed
  • One in the linen closet
  • One in the laundry
However, you may want to adjust this according to your laundry efficiency and your change of decorative spirit. An extra set of sheets is a great and quick way to brighten your room and change a mood. Also, if you have a guest room, make sure to to register for at least one extra full set of sheets and pillows.
 
 

How often do styles change?
 

New patterns are introduced every three to six months and if popular, can stay around for years. However, when purchasing a set, we recommend you buy all relevant pieces at the same time.
 
 

How long should my sheets last?
 

Depending on use, quality and care, bedding can last 10 to 15 years.
 
 

What is a coverlet?
 

By true definition of the word, a coverlet is the uppermost cover of a bed. Therefore, a coverlet is a more general term for a duvet, duvet cover, bed spread or quilt.
 
 

What do I do about waterbed sheets?
 

On the whole, waterbed sheets must be special ordered, are available in limited colors and patterns and are generally more expensive than regular sheets. One tip is to use queen or king size flat sheets and just tuck them in tightly!
