Win: Your Complete Dream Bed Set
From: Au Lit Fine Linens
Value: $1,380

There are a lot of debates out there around bed linens. Percale vs. sateen; low thread count vs. high thread count; goose down vs. down-mimicking; Egyptian cotton vs. American cotton… It’s enough to keep you up at night. Au Lit Fine Linens is here to help, and with 35 years of experience changing the way people sleep and improving the quality of their lives, we’re happy to take their word for it.

We’ve boiled down their expertise to four easy steps to create your dream bed. (Except for one of you, whose fifth step will be to get their bedding set for free.)

Step 1: Start at the Top

If the bed is the centerpiece of the bedroom, the duvet cover is the centerpiece of the bed. You’ve gotta love it, commit to it, and invest in quality that will last. Need some help getting started? Know your style. Are you glam or classic? Boho or minimalist? Whichever look speaks to you, go for tones that are calm and serene.

Step 2: Start with Great Quality Sheets

We know sheet shopping can be overwhelming, especially with so many buzzwords on the labels. What do they all mean? Just know this: the better the quality cotton and weave, the better the sheet will be, regardless of thread count. Where thread count comes into play is the feel of the sheets, and it’s all personal preference. Allow us to break it down for you:

Step 3: Pick the Perfect Pillow

When it comes to your best sleep, your pillow will make or break it — so don’t skimp! Chances are you already know if you like it soft and squishy or super firm.

With this in mind, think about fill. White goose down is an excellent place to start: It’s malleable yet supportive, and comes in different weights for a range of firmness. The fewer ounces of down, the softer the pillow. Add some feather and you’ll get more firmness. If you’re allergic, you can still get a great “down-mimicking” pillow, such as the Memo or the Jasper. Au Lit Fine Linens knows that we’re all different, which is why they offer super soft, medium, and firm options. While they might vary in the amount of down, each pillow is made with love (aka 100-percent ethically-sourced white goose down) by caring, Canadian sleep-lovers.

Step 4: Deep Dive into Duvets

The perfect duvet is what’s going to elevate your bed from enticing to irresistible. That is, a light and airy cloud of pure goose down each night that floats above your body, keeps you perfectly warm year-round (but never too hot!), and adapts to your body temperature so you won’t sweat or shiver.

Here’s what to look for when buying a quality duvet:

  • Baffle box construction to prevent clumping at the bottom
  • Silky, higher thread count shell so there’s no crunching while you sleep
  • Certified by the American/Canadian Down Association
  • 100-percent white goose down, which has no quills and no odor
  • Hypo-allergenic
