10 Tips for Choosing Comfortable and Quality Sheets for the Bed
How to choose quality and comfortable sheets? Don't miss these 10 tips for choosing comfortable, soft and easy-care sheets!
Is there a more comfortable place than our bed? If we take into account that we spend a third of our lives sleeping, it is important to know how to choose and learn how to invest in bedding. Currently there is an endless range of options and prices. But don't despair! We tell you 10 tips for choosing quality and time-resistant sheets .
Choose sheets by thread count
The first great myth to debunk. It is often believed that the more thread count the sheets have, the softer and more durable they are. And it is true? No, a 300-thread-count sheet made with high-quality cotton may be more comfortable than a 600-thread-count version with lower-quality fiber. Today, there is a wide variety of materials available and that is where the difference lies.
How to choose sheets depending on the material
It is the key to a good sheet and what determines its quality. The material must be resistant, anti-peeling , insulating, anti-allergic and easy to wash. Cotton is undoubtedly the best ally of a good sheet. However, there is bedding that combines cotton and synthetic fibers, which give very good results. What's important? That contains at least 50% cotton and 50% polyester.
- Egyptian cotton: It is the best quality (and also the most expensive) its fibers are extra-long which produces sumptuous and extremely durable sheets
- Pima Cotton: It is a medium to extra-long staple fiber material, known for its softness and shine, and is more economical than Egyptian cotton.
- Linen: They are one of the most expensive sheets. Linen bedding is ideal for warm climates. Although ironing them is something else.
- Synthetic: It is the most economical and most durable material. Its advantage? It is wrinkle resistant.
How to choose sheets according to their fabric
What you feel to the touch depends on how those sheets are woven. The favorite is satin, because it is tight and smooth, resulting in light and crisp bedding. The other option is the super tight and dense microfiber fabric, which is wrinkle resistant and extra-soft in texture.
The design of the sheets: a fundamental aspect
Bedding is a fundamental piece to collaborate with the general design of a room. Choose sheets with a motif according to its style and dare to innovate.
How to choose sheets for each season of the year
Depending on the temperature you want to maintain in your bed and how often you want to change it will be the key to choosing the type of sheet and how many sets to have. Keep in mind that sheets that look summery can be used all year round. Just add a bedspread and blanket to make your bed cozier during the cooler months. Bedding made from natural fibers allows air to circulate, unlike sheets made from 100% synthetic materials.
Find the measurements of the sheets that fit your bed
Check the size of your mattress before purchasing sheets. Nothing more uncomfortable than large or small bedding. A sheet that doesn't fit perfectly is useless. There are many types of mattresses and varying dimensions. You must take into account, in addition to the width and length, the height of the mattress.
How to choose sheets according to their functionality
Each one will determine what they are looking for in their bedding. Maintain a suitable temperature; choose the best quality/price option, practicality: such as, iron-free, among others. Depending on the functionality you want will be what you should take into account when choosing the right sheets.
Complete your bedding set
The sheets are very important because they are what will allow you an adequate rest. But the duvet will be the “icing on the cake” so its correct choice is also essential. Make sure this duo gets along well to guarantee a pleasant rest.
Take good care of your sheets
Wash your sheets every week or at most every 15 days; do not apply chlorine because the fibers deteriorate and lose softness over time; Choose a medium or slow wash cycle and do not iron them unless they are linen.
