A well-dressed bed is synonymous with elegance and better rest.
Here are the keys to choosing the best sheets for you and some tips to keep them as the first day.
What is the best thread?
Breathability, absorption and evaporation of moisture are carded and combed cotton. In the latter, the fibres resulting from the card go through a second more delicate process, the comber, where the impurities have just been removed. They are softer, have more volume, natural shine and last much longer.
White or printed sheets?
White cotton fabric is better than a dyed or patterned fabric, as it preserves the organic and natural properties of the cotton fibre practically unchanged. The production process is shorter, simpler and more ecological since it simply requires a minimum treatment of scouring and bleaching.
Yarns, fibres and fabrics
Sheets between 200 and 400 threads per inch are the softest and most durable. Below 200 threads they are cheaper but of lower quality. In bedding, the best material is cotton. Mixed with polyester, it does not wrinkle so much, but better if the polyester does not exceed 50% of the fabric not to lose softness.
The raw materials
The type of material you choose for your sheets has to do with your personal preferences. Think about this: you will be on them for eight hours a day: Egyptian cotton, Pima cotton, linen, calico or microfiber can be some materials to choose from.
The design
The bedroom style will largely depend on its appearance, so it is important to take care of its design. A small-medium mix of the same colour family is advisable, depending on the impact you want.
