Factors To Consider When Buying A Bed Sheet Set

 


Quality sleep is only as good as the bedding you sleep it in. After all, you are between the sheets for many hours throughout the day, so it just makes sense to choose the best bed sheet set that you cannot wait to crawl into. You will want to invest in linens that feel nice and will last.

 

To help you get started, here are some buying steps to follow:

 

Know the Difference Between Weaves

Percale or sateen are your main options. Percale is a grid-like weave that is light and crisp. On the other hand, sateen is a satin weave that feels silky smooth. While many consumers tend to favour sateen it is a matter of personal preference.

 

Bedding Styles

For your bed sheet set style, here are a few popular options:

 

Printed bedding. If your bedroom is a pared-back style, printed bedding is a good way to add contrast and colour. Patterns range from geometric designs to organic shapes.

 

Plain bedding. If you like accessories, plain bedding is a perfect choice. Go for a block colour that complements or contrasts the colour scheme of your bedroom. After that, layer up as this style helps make bedspreads, throws, and cushions stand out.

 

Fastening options. There are lots of choices, including poppers, buttons, hook and eye, and no fastening. Make sure to carefully read the product description before buying, particularly if changing the sheets is not your favourite chore.

 

Determine the Fibre Content

100% cotton is an excellent choice for a bed sheet set because it is soft and affordable. If you want premium cotton, like Egyptian or Pima, then it is softer and more durable. Know that these sheets may be more expensive and you have to trust the word of the company. You can also choose cotton and polyester blends. While the material may have a synthetic feel, the polyester makes it more affordable, more durable and less prone to wrinkling.

 

Do Not Assume It Will Fit Your Mattress

Standard sizes such as queen or king do not account for mattress depth. So, make sure to measure before you buy if yours is tall or if you use a mattress topper. You should also factor in some shrinkage after laundering. Usually, fitted sheets that fit up to 15-inch mattresses have performed well fit tests.

 

For maximum cozy potential, look for a bed sheet set that is designed to be slightly larger than the mattress it is made for. Some people choose to size up for added comfort, for example, picking a king size bedding for a double bed.

 

Thread Count Is Important

Manufacturing techniques allow brands to make high thread counts without increasing quality. Our tests have shown that 300 to 500 are great for softness and strength. There are good 200-thread-count sheets, but they may not be as comfy, and anything over 500 does not always better.

 

Check the Return Policy

It is not easy to know whether you will love sleeping on the bed sheet set until you have tried them out. Fortunately, some brands allow you to make returns even up to a few months after the purchase for any reason.
