Difference between 3-piece set and 4-piece set

The difference between a three-piece suit and a four-piece suit lies in the quantity.

The number of three-piece suites is only three, so it is called a three-piece suite. Generally, it includes three bedding products, namely pillowcases, quilt covers and sheets. Usually, pillowcases are one pair of two. At this time, there is only one pillowcase, or only one sheet or quilt cover. The four-piece suit is also composed of pillowcases, quilt covers and sheets. The only difference is that the pillowcases are one pair of two, which is a standard four-piece suit for bedding.

A three-piece suit consists of three pieces, including bed sheets, quilt covers and pillowcases. A three-piece suit lacks a pillowcase, so it is usually used in a single bed, that is, for one person, while a four-piece suit is usually used in a double bed, that is, for two people. However, in some places, such as Europe and America, there are three sets, namely two pillowcases and one quilt cover, that is, there are no sheets, so the function is still quite different from that of ordinary four-piece sets, but this time there is an extra sheet.

guide to choosing bedding

1. About fabrics

Simply put, the fabrics of bedding can be divided into three types: natural materials and synthetic fibers. Natural materials include: pure cotton, flax, Tencel, silk, etc. Synthetic fibers include polyester, peach skin cashmere, and all kinds of cashmere (coral velvet, flannel, milk velvet, etc.). Whether in terms of durability or comfort experience, natural materials hang synthetic fibers.

2. About pattern printing

Bedding looks a little boring if it is only solid color, so most bedding sets of three/four will print some patterns. There are two main printing methods: one is pigment printing and the other is reactive printing. No matter what kind of printing, there will be some formaldehyde residue on the kit, which is normal, as long as the quantity is controlled to a certain extent.

3. About count and density

The most common count of fabrics on the market is 3s, 4s, 6s and 8s (the higher the count, the higher the cost). Most five-star hotels use 6s or 8s satin with yarn density as fabric. The fabric is delicate and soft, and feels smooth and comfortable. Density refers to the total number of warp and weft yarns per unit area when weaving cloth, and the sum of warp and weft yarns is about 2. (Example: Fabric density: 13*17, then the fabric density is 3).
