Luxury bedding is not just using the best materials, having exclusive or limited quantity designs, or fine workmanship, it's also having several coordinating pieces to give the bed a luxurious look. Take for example the following pieces that basically make up a luxury bedding set:

• The comforter set consisting of 1 comforter, 1 bed ruffle or skirt and 2 shams that can go on a queen or king size bed.
• The sheet set consisting of 2 pillow cases, 1 flat sheet and 1 fitted sheet.
• Euro pillows, usually 2 to 3 pieces, which may be purchased stuffed or separate as inserts. Use 2 Euro pillows if you have a full or queen size bed and 3 pieces if you have a king size bed.
• Additional pillows maybe added to give the bed a full and opulent look. The following usually complete the look: 1 to 2 pieces square throw pillows, 1 to 2 rectangular boudoir pillows, a round pillow, a bolster or neck support pillow and a throw blanket.

Not every luxury bedding sets have all the items listed above. The basic components of a classic luxury bedding are usually the first eight pieces. The rest are accessories that are added depending on just how you want your bed to look.
