HOW TO CHOOSE A PERFECT BEDSHEET

HOW TO CHOOSE A PERFECT BEDSHEET

Getting home tired and stressed from work will surely need an ultimate relaxation. The best way to do that is to lie down on your bed while watching TV or maybe just chatting with your partner. But are your bed sheets that comfortable? Well, it has to be of absolute quality because we won’t stay there for just a few minutes.Sleeping on the best bedsheet can be just as important as having the top memory foam mattress when it comes to getting the most peaceful of sleep. It is important to understand what makes the best sheets when seeking to purchase a set. We would spend hours and days and weeks on that bed sheet. Hence, it has to be comfy and soft.

PURPOSE
Coordination is important. Look around your bedroom and determine your style and the colors you use for the decors. See to it that the bedsheet you get coordinates with the headboard and other fabrics on your bed. Some doesn’t really aim to get a perfectly coordinated look. That is actually fine but being coordinated will pull it all together in your bedroom.

 

MATERIAL
The materials you choose for your bed lines are a personal choice. Consider sheets of cotton-poplin if you want something light. You can also choose cotton, which is soft and breathable, and could keep you warm during cold seasons and stay cool during summer. If the sheets are not constructed of a breathable fabric one may have the sense of feeling suffocated as the sheets cause a running hot sensation. With the sheets not breathing it stands to reason that, as a result, the sleeper’s body will be gasping for air. Therefore, one should seek out cotton for its breathable quality that is also durable and easy to care for. When seeking cotton sheets, it is important to recognize the many different types of cottons used to manufacture bedding. You can try cotton-polyester which is a blend that is reasonably priced and wrinkle-free but this is not as cooling as cotton. Linen is a popular choice during summers because it has a natural cooling effect and it absorbs heat from you. Choose high-quality linen which becomes softer the more you wash but they wrinkle easily.

 

THREAD COUNT
Thread count refers to the number of horizontal and vertical threads per square inch. Generally, the higher the thread count, the softer the sheet, and the more likely it will wear well-or even soften-over time.There are plenty of ways for companies to boost their thread count through creative math, so it’s come to mean very little in terms of quality. In fact, almost all of the really high thread count sheets you’ll find on the market today are boosting their numbers with multi-ply yarns or other tricks. Good sheets range anywhere from 200 to 800, although you'll occasionally see numbers over 1,000.

 SIZE
Flat sheets are just what they sound like as they are a flat piece of fabric made to fit over the fitted bed sheet and under the blanket or comforter. This sheet is usually tucked in at the foot and sides of the bed. Pillowcase sizes can vary as well with the most common fitting the standard pillow.Wrestling around a small fitted sheet onto a mattress? Haven’t found the right size and fit for your bed-set? Here’s a solution, if you have a standard-size bed; queen or king size bed sheets, look for features such as elastic edging all the way around. This helps to ensure a smooth, snug fit. Measure the height of your mattress, including mattress pads. Remember that padding settles, so measure it at least two spots away from the corners. You know how important it is to buy bedspreads that are of a correct size. Hence, buying bed sheets online that are a couple of inches deeper, leaves room for normal shrinkage.

 

DESIGN OR PATTERN
Now that you know the basics, it is time to look at the aesthetics of your bed sheets. You have to decide whether to get plains or prints. Plain colored ones would work well if you have printed pillows, blankets and throws or if your motif is more on color blocking. Printed ones would look lovely too. Get bed sheets with striking prints on them that suits your taste.
