The Secrets of the Bed in a Bag Revealed
Go Under the Bed in a Bag’s Covers
The Comforter
Use the comforter, which is essentially a blanket, to keep warm at night. Comforters can be filled with various material, including polyester, wool, or down. However, since many people are allergic to certain materials, like wool or down, the choice of materials is often made for them. Silk or cotton often make up the “shell”, our outer casing. Thread counts vary but higher thread counts generally cost more. (Note that despite semantics, comforter bed in bag sets and bed in bag sets are the same thing – they both contain comforters).
The Pillow Sham
A pillow sham is similar to a pillow case in that it covers the pillow. It can range from extremely intricate and fancy, including tassels and lace, to a dark, solid color. Keep in mind that the latter doesn’t necessarily go with cheap bed in bags as the design can be as much a matter of taste as money. A pillow sham can also come in varied materials, including silk, satin or cotton. But you must know that a pillow sham is all form – you don’t sleep with it. Rather, it’s used to make your bedding look more vibrant.
The Bed skirt
The bed skirt’s role is to hide the box spring, both giving a complete look to the bed as well covering up any items that might be hidden under the bed. It reaches to the floor and is often manufactured from cotton. As with the pillow sham, the bed skirt can be on the fancy side, which might, for example, include embroidery, or just consist of a plain, solid color and single material. Because the bed skirt often matches, in color, the comforter, bed in bag sets bring a sense of continuity to your bedding.
The Throw Pillow
A throw pillow is decorative only. Unlike the sleeping pillow, the throw pillow is comprised of intricate patterns and colors that bring personality and style to the room as well as accent your bedroom colors. Appearances vary from throw pillow to throw pillow as they come in various shapes and sizes. Note that not all bed in a bag sets come with throw pillows. They generally accompany the higher end, or more expensive, sets. The cheap bed in bags, however, can also add to the overall appearance of your bedroom.
The Pillow Case and Sheet
You, as we’re sure you’re aware, use the pillow case and sheet to protect the pillow and mattress from dirt. They come in various thread counts and styles, from solid to print and even plaid. The sheet and pillow case come in a set in that they match. Sheets are either loose, meaning they don’t hold, on their own, to the mattress, or fitted in that they hold to the mattress with elastic.
One of the benefits of a bed in a bag is that all these materials come together in…you guessed it...one bag – from pillow cases to comforter. Bed in a bag sets save you the time it would take to shop for each item individually. Prices range from $100 for the cheap bed in bags to more than $200.
