Here are steps that you can follow to purchase the perfect bed sheet for yourself.
Calculate the beds proportions
You might think that all twin beds or king size beds are standard, but sadly it is not so. The top dimensions might be the same, but again the measurements differ with each producer. The bottom line is that you need to estimate the height, width, breadth of the bed and also check how thick the mattress is. Your bed could be shorter or taller than another one from the same producer. Measuring your bed will give you an idea of the size of your bed sheet before purchasing.
Decide from where to purchase
Bigger departmental shops have a separate division for linen and bedding and offer branded sheets and in-house brands under the same roof. For a unusual look, some people also go for embroidered bed sheets with sequins. Another option is to shop online for the largest diversity. For those who still love their cotton fiber sheets, a discount store is where you should travel to.
Do you know what is a thread count?
A thread count refers to the amount of threads contained in one square inch of the bedsheet in both directions of the weave. You will find this thread count on the bedsheets label. For a luxurious feel, a high thread count is desirable. Beware of a very high thread count as the sheet may have finer threads and not the texture you want. It is advisable that you go for a thread count in the range of 175 - 250 for a soft sheet under you.
Choose the bedsheet fabric.
Take care to choose a fabric that you can afford and is easy too. Cotton sheets are still liked, but blended cotton is preferable by those who dont like wrinkles. A crisp night calls for a flannel bed sheet. Those who wish a smooth sheet can go for satin or silk.
Calculate the sizing of the bed sheet
The sizing of the bed sheet you select has to be checked at this point. With the bed size ready with you, check if the bedsheet you plan to buy will fit your bed. Recall that all shrink by 7% when they are first washed. Also, if these sheets are fine, buy some extra sets for your beds. They help greatly in case one of the sheets is torn or soiled..
These little tips will surely help you in choosing the right bedsheet for you and make every night a night to remember!
