We all like luxury bed linens. That’s why we choose Egyptian cotton bed linen as it will last for decades and become softer with each laundering. Beside these two facts there are three more reasons for buying the very best bed linens. Here is the first of the three and I will write about the other two later.

Egyptian cotton is the smoothest and softest cotton in the world. The reason for this quality of cotton is it is made from the longest staple or fiber of any cotton variety. These cotton fibers have very small diameters or thickness. The long thin fibers of Egyptian cotton are twisted in to small threads or yarn they become a strong smooth yarn results with longer lengths of continuous fiber than other cotton varieties. After these thin fine yarns are weaved into fabric, the results are a finer textured material which feels very soft and smooth. Later I will writer the next two reasons for wanting Egyptian cotton bed linens.

Types of Towels

A towel is used for drying or wiping up moisture. It is a piece of absorbent fabric or paper.

The first type of towel is a bath towel used to dry off after a bath or shower.  A larger one is called a bath sheet. The beach towel is a slight larger then a bath towel us to dry off after being the water or to provide a surface to lie on to relax or just to tan. Beach towels are made of bright colors and designs.

Next is a foot towel a small rectangular towel used in the absence of a rug, carpet or bathroom mat. Place on the floor to stand on after you have bath or showered.

The hand towel is smaller then bath towels the size being 30x60cm use to dry your hands.

Paper towels are made of paper used once then disposed of. The paper towel is perforated and comes in a roll normally mounted on a rod to make it easy to tear off.

Here is a type of towel that means the same but different names. They are a tea towel or a dish towel or another name is kitchen towel. Tea towel is the (British English) and dish towel is the (American English). They are all used to day as towels to dry dishes.

Then there is the wash cloth or also known as a face cloth. Wetting a face cloth and applying soap to wash your body and face to help remove dead skin.

This is just a few types of towels with their own names and what their used for in our everyday life.

Two Types of Waterbeds

When waterbeds became a house hold name and you wanted to in vest in one you had only two types of waterbeds to choose from .The two different styles of waterbeds were a hard-sided bed and the other was know as a soft-sided bed.

The hard-sided waterbed was rectangular frame of wood that was constructed on a plywood deck that sat on a platform. Some platforms were made with drawers for extra storage. You could also decorate your bed with headboards or tall posts.

The other style of waterbed called the soft-sided bed was a rectangular frame of sturdy foam with a zippered inside of a fabric casing. This type of waterbed’s platform looks like a conventional bed. Looking like a regular box spring and mattress. This is the type of waterbed I have and when you first look at it you would think it a regular bed until you sit or lie on it.

The mattresses when first made were a one water chamber called a “free flow” mattress. When you lay down you would feel a significant wave action which took some time to settle after a disturbance. Later on they came out with a wave-reducing method, including fiber batting and interconnected water chambers. The more modern “wave less” waterbeds have a mixture of air and water chambers, usually interconnected. My waterbed is made up of individual tubes.

Waterbeds are heated with a pad that is controlled by a thermostat. Most pads consume 150-400 watts of power, depending on the insulation, bedding, temperature and other factors, electricity usage may vary.

The material use to make a waterbed is a soft polyvinyl chloride or similar material. To repair a waterbed you can use any vinyl repair kit.

Waterbeds are not as popular as they were back in the 70’s but there are still stores around that sell the beds along with the special waterbed sheets that go with the bed. Some waterbed sheets sets are sewn together to make it easier to make the bed, specially the “free flow” style beds.
