  • Covering a blanket. This bedding is used as the final stage during the cleaning of the bed. It is placed on top of the bed linen, and comes with a small amount of filler inside. A blanket cover is officially the best-selling piece of bedding in the United States and Europe.

  • A blanket. Blankets filled with fluff are a winter and warmer option. They should be put in a duvet cover. Duvet is not particularly pleased with the diversity of its appearance, in principle, it is not necessary, because its main task is to warm in cold weather, and linen is responsible for aesthetics.
  • Duvet Cover. This product is designed to protect the duvet, and is a kind of envelope with a small hole to insert a blanket inside. As a rule, it is included in the set of bed linen, but it can be found separately sold. Duvet covers are divided into several types: with a zipper, buttons, ties, rivets, with a smell and a hole on top or in the middle.
  • Large decorative pillow. European square or rectangular pillow is large in size and used for decorative purposes. It is inserted inside a beautiful pillow case with lace or satin edges, embroidery or a quilted middle, and is placed at the head of the bed. The dimensions of this item are 60x60 or 50x70 centimeters. Despite the size, this pillow can not be used for sleep, it is needed only for aesthetics.
  • Pillow for sleep. It can be square or rectangular. In total there are four sizes of pillows for sleeping: large (70x70 or 50x80), medium (50x70) and small (40x60).

  • Small decorative pillow. Used to make the bed look aesthetically pleasing. It is a small pillow of 40x40 or 45x65 centimeters, and is sold in a variety of shapes, colors and stylistic directions. As a rule, a small decorative pillow is decorated with ruffles, lace, embroidery, rhinestones.
  • Pillow roller. The cushion in the form of a large tube is harder than usual, as it is not used for sleeping.It is designed to support your back while watching a movie or reading on a bed, as well as for tired legs.
