The folks at Quality bedding Sets thought you would enjoy reading about bedding and it's history. We will bring a series of post's to bring you some fun facts and information. We will give you a new term and it's definition with each post

Bedding refers to the materials laid above the mattress of a bed for warmth and decorative effect. Bedding does not include the mattress, box spring and bed frame. Down materials are often used for warmth in bedding.

While the double size appears to be standard among English speaking countries, based on the imperial measurement of 4 ft 6 in by 6 ft 3 in, the sizes for other bed types tend to vary. The European sizes differ, not merely because of difference based on use of the metric system.

A king-sized bed differs from the other sizes in implementation, as it is not common to have a king-sized box spring; rather, two smaller box-springs are used under a king-sized mattress. It is a common misconception that on a U.S. standard or eastern king, the box springs are identical in size to a twin extra-long, however twin extra-long mattresses next to each other add up to 78 inches wide instead of the 76 inch width that is standard for an eastern king.

Furthermore, mattresses have different thicknesses, which must be kept in mind when designing bedding for a particular bed, especially if they are to be fitted.
