Till some years back asian platform bed sheets used to be made from white cotton cloth. nowadays there is a myriad of such stocked up in shops and you are actually spoiled for choice. Bedding was never so beautiful with the vibrant colours, prints and textures that are offered in bedding today
That is why there are some things that need to be taken care of before you spend any money on buying bed sheets.
Measure the sizing of your bed
You might think that all twin beds or king size beds measure the same, but sadly it is not so. The top dimensions might be the same, but again the measurements differ with each producer. So make sure that you estimate all the measurings of your bed from top to bottom, side to side and also the thickness of the mattress you are using. You will find that some beds are longer or wider than others with the same name. When you have your beds proportions with you, choosing a bed sheet is easier.
Zero down on the Bed shop
You will find a lot of top makes in bed linen available in a departmental shop near you. If you want something ethnic like embroidered or lush ones there might be a shop selling what you want close by. If you still cannot find what you want, try the online storehouses. The basic bed sheets are sold in discount storehouses for a small cost.
Familiarize yourself with thread count in bedding
The number of threads that are present in a square inch of the sheet in back and forth direction of its weave is known as thread count. 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 lighter threads and not the texture you want. For the right soft feel, a thread count of 175 to 250 is fine.
Pick your bedsheet material
You need to choose such material for your bed sheets which fits in your budget and is comfortable at the same time. Cotton sheets are still liked, but blended cotton is preferable by those who dont like wrinkles. A chili night calls for a flannel bedsheet. Then there is the all time preferred silk, satin or microfiber that provides luxury.
Check out the sheet proportions
Measuring the bedsheet before buying is as important as measuring the bed sizing. It is crucial to verify if the bedsheet you are buying will fit well on your bed. Recall that all bedding shrink by 7% when they are first washed. If you have really liked the bedding you plan to buy, always invest in some additional sets. 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!
