Top Tips for Choosing the Right Bed Sheet - Hypnotic

July 1st, 2009

Till some years back platform bed sheets used to be made from white cotton cloth. You are surprised at the range of unusual bedding that are on offer today. Nobody had thought that bedding could be made using such stunning pastel tones and several cloths.

The following are some factors that matter a lot when you purchase a bedsheet.

Take the beds measurements

It is a common belief that one queen bed or king bed has the same dimensions which is so untrue. Usually the top measurements dont differ a lot but the other proportions vary with each bed maker. Due to this divergence in the proportions, it is safe to measure all the proportions and the depth of your mattress too. Often similar beds from the same brand are longer or wider than each other. When you have your beds dimensions with you, choosing a bed sheet is easier.

Determine from where to purchase

Super stores usually stock on branded and their own brands in one place.. Those looking for embroidered bedding or luxurious looking sheets can purchase them from a specialty shop. If you still cannot find what you want, try the online shops. For those who still love their cotton sheets, a discount rate storehouse is where you should travel to.

Do you know what is a thread count?

A thread count refers to the amount of threads carried in one square inch of the bed sheet in both directions of the weave. You will find this thread count on the bedsheets label. For a lush feel, a high thread count is desirable. Dont go for a higher thread count than desired as the thin single threads will not feel cozy. For the right soft feel, a thread count of 175 - 300 is fine.

Choose the bed sheet cloth.

You need to choose such material for your which fits in your budget and is comfortable at the same time. Though cotton is the most preferred material, some people go for the cotton blends as they do not crease. For a warm cocoon around you, flannel is best in wintertime. For a lavish look, go for satin, silk or microfiber.

Check out the sheet proportions

The size of the bed sheet you select has to be checked at this point. It is crucial to verify if the bed sheet you are buying will fit well on your bed. Take into account the average 7% shrinking that all bedding undergo after the first laundry. Also, if these sheets are fine, buy some extra sets for your beds. This way an accidentally torn sheet can be replaced fast.

These little tips will surely help you in choosing the right bedsheet for you and make every night a night to remember!
