Six Steps to Own the Perfect Bedsheet - Captivating
July 8th, 2009Till some years back bed frame sheets used to be made from white cotton cloth. today there is a myriad of such bedding stocked up in storehouses and you are actually spoiled for choice. Bedding was never so beautiful with the vibrant colours, prints and textures that are offered in bed sheets today
Following are some factors that matter a lot when you purchase a bed sheet.
Measure the sizing of your bed
You might think that all twin beds or king sizing beds are standard, but sadly it is not so. Besides the top measurements, all the rest can be unusual depending on the brand name. Due to this variant in the proportions, it is safe to measure all the proportions and the depth of your mattress too. 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 buying.
Determine from where to purchase
Super shops usually stock on branded bedding and their own brands in one place.. For a unusual look, some people also go for embroidered with sequins. Another option is to shop online for the largest diversity. In case you wish to purchase regular bedding you can get a good deal at a discount rate outlet.
Do you know what is a thread count?
A thread count refers to the number of threads contained in one square inch of the bedsheet in both directions of the weave. You will find this thread count on the bed sheets label. More the thread count, more is the richness of the fabric. Dont go for a higher thread count than preferred as the thin single threads will not feel cosy. A soft bed sheet has a thread count that lies between 175 and 250.
Decide on material for your bed sheet
A material that is moderately priced and feels nice to sleep on is the one for you. If you prefer wrinkle-free sheets then go for cotton blends or you can purchase basic cotton fabrics. Flannel is warm and can be used for wintertimes. Those who wish a casual sheet can go for satin or silk.
Caring instructions
Read the wash and care instructions for the sheets properly before purchasing them. Silk sheets cannot be machine washed as they are delicate. Are you ready to do that? So purchase only such sheets that you can maintain easily and within budget.
Hope these six steps lead you to finding a perfect bed sheet for your bed.
