Bedding Lexicon: Everything you need to know about your bedding

Luxecosy Bettwaren-Lexikon: Alles, was Sie über Ihre Bettwaren wissen müssen - LuxeCosy

Bedding plays a crucial role in the quality of our sleep. From pillows to blankets to mattresses, there is a wide range on offer and choosing the right products can be crucial for a restful sleep. In this comprehensive bedding encyclopedia, you will learn everything you need to know about bedding to make the best choices for your bedroom.


A: Allergy-friendly bedding

Allergy sufferers need bedding that prevents dust mites and allergens. Hypoallergenic materials such as Lyocell, Tencel and synthetic fibers are particularly suitable for creating an allergen-free sleeping environment.

Pro tip: Look for the OEKO-TEX Standard 100 certificate, which confirms skin compatibility and freedom from harmful substances.


B: Duvets

Duvets are available in different filling materials such as down, feathers, camel hair and synthetic fibers. Each filling has specific properties in terms of heat retention, moisture regulation and allergy-friendliness.

Luxecosy tip: Our down duvets offer hotel luxury for your home and are ideal for use all year round.


C: CUIN (Cubic Inches per Ounce)

CUIN is a measure that evaluates the loft of down, a crucial factor in high-quality bedding. A higher CUIN value means the down can trap more air and thus insulate better, providing optimal warmth and lightness. 


D: Down

Down is a small, soft feather that is particularly light and insulating. It offers the highest level of sleeping comfort and is particularly popular on cold winter nights due to its thermal insulation.

Tip: When buying down duvets, look for certifications such as the Downpass seal, which guarantees ethical production.


E: Duck down vs. goose down

Duck down is smaller and less bulky than goose down, but still offers good warmth. Goose down is larger, fluffier and offers even more insulation.


F: Filling materials

The choice of filling material directly influences the sleeping environment. While down is known for its heat retention, synthetic materials such as microfibers offer an easy-care and allergy-friendly alternative.


G: Degree of heat class

Duvets are divided into different warmth classes, from class 1 (light, for summer) to class 4 (extra warm, for cold winters). Choosing the right warmth class ensures optimal sleeping comfort, tailored to your personal needs.


H: Hotel bedding

Hotel bedding is characterized by high-quality materials, exceptional durability and luxurious comfort. With the right bedding, you can bring the luxurious sleeping experience of a 5-star hotel into your home.

Luxecosy Advantage: Our bedding is inspired by the quality of luxury hotels and offers the same high standard for everyone.


I: Inner chamber cushion

These pillows have an inner chamber filled with firmer materials such as feathers, while the outer chambers are filled with soft down, creating a perfect balance of support and softness.


J: Jersey bed linen

Jersey is a stretchy, soft material made from cotton or a cotton blend. It is breathable, absorbent and easy to care for - ideal for bed linen.


K: camel hair blankets

Camel hair blankets offer natural climate comfort. They are extremely breathable and temperature-regulating, making them the perfect choice for all seasons.

Luxecosy tip: Our handmade camel hair blankets offer sustainable comfort at the highest level.


L: Lyocell

Lyocell, also known as Tencel, is a sustainable, eco-friendly material made from wood fibers. It is hypoallergenic, breathable and extra soft, ideal for allergy sufferers and environmentally conscious consumers.


M: mattress pads

Mattress pads offer additional comfort and protection for your mattress. They can be made of various materials such as down, feathers or synthetic fibers and ensure an optimal sleeping environment.


N: Natural materials

Bedding made from natural materials such as cotton, linen, silk or wool offers numerous advantages. They are breathable, moisture-regulating and often suitable for allergy sufferers.


O: OEKO-TEX Standard 100

This standard guarantees that all components of a product have been tested for harmful substances and are harmless to health. Look for this certificate when buying bedding to ensure that you are choosing a skin-friendly product.


P: Care instructions

Proper care will extend the life of your bedding. While down comforters should be aired and cleaned regularly, synthetic bedding can often be washed in the washing machine.


Q: Quality

The quality of bedding can be recognized by the materials, workmanship and certificates. High-quality bedding is durable, comfortable and promotes a healthy sleeping environment.


R: room temperature

The ideal room temperature for a restful sleep is around 16-18 degrees Celsius. Choosing the right bedding, adapted to the temperature, contributes significantly to a pleasant sleeping environment.


S: Sleeping climate

A good sleeping environment is supported by breathable and moisture-regulating bedding. Natural materials such as cotton and wool are ideal for ensuring a pleasant climate in which you sleep neither too hot nor too cold.


T: Tencel

Tencel is a brand for Lyocell, an environmentally friendly material obtained from wood. It is particularly moisture-regulating and ensures a pleasant sleeping environment.


U: Underbeds

Underlays provide additional comfort by making the mattress softer and absorbing moisture at the same time. They are particularly suitable for people who want a high level of sleeping comfort.


V: Four-season blanket

This blanket consists of two separate blankets that can be used together or separately depending on the season. It offers flexibility for summer and winter, making it a practical solution for all year round.


W: heat class

The warmth class determines how warm a blanket is. It ranges from light (for summer) to extra warm (for winter). Choose the right warmth class depending on the season and your individual warmth needs.


Z: Certificates

When buying bedding, look for relevant certificates such as OEKO-TEX Standard 100, Downpass or GOTS (Global Organic Textile Standard). These guarantee that the bedding was produced under environmentally friendly and ethical conditions.


Choosing the right bedding can have a decisive influence on your sleep quality.
