- Standard double: 150 mm wider than a small double, these beds are 1900 mm in length, with a width of 1370 mm.
- King size: With a length of 1980 mm, these beds are longer than other standard beds so are suitable for the very tall user. They are also wider at 1500 mm.
Diamante bedding is available in a wide range of modern fabrics, ranging from luxurious silk which has natural hypo-allergenic properties, to high thread count Egyptian cotton which is lighter than standard cotton and highly resistant to pilling and lint. Other available fabrics include:
- Cotton.
- Polyester.
- Rayon.
Depending on the size of the bed, a diamante bedding set will come with a duvet, and either one or two pillow cases. Bedding sets do not usually come with fitted or flat sheets, so these will need to be purchased separately.
When were diamantes invented?Diamantes or sequins date back to the time of the ancient Egyptians. When the tomb of Tutankhamun, the ancient Egyptian Pharaoh was discovered in 1920, his clothing was found to be embellished with gold disks that resembled sequins. These disks were meant to provide the Pharaoh with financial stability in the Land of Two Fields, the Egyptian afterlife.
What are diamantes?The word "diamantes" has two meanings. It can be used to describe sparkling stones that are made out of crystal or glass and resemble diamonds, and this type of diamante is often found in costume jewellery. The word is also used to describe sequins, which are made out of vinyl so they retain their shape and consistency. These are often used in bedding and other household fabrics as they can be easily washed without being damaged.
