Choosing The Right Bedding
Who can afford to buy bedding everyday? For that reason, be careful when buying bedding as you will be sleeping on it for a long while to come.Here are a few things to consider when you are choosing your bed linens:
Please do not buy sheets in the blind. Prior to buying sheets, be sure you know the proper size you will need to fit your bed.Don’t be seduced by the wonderful sale, pretty pattern, or soothing colors! First note the size of the linens you are ga-ga over, because once you remove the sheet set from its plastic wrap, it is so much more difficult to take them back to the store.To play it safe about buying the correct linen size, know the measurements of your mattress.Mattresses are typically produced in a standard size, but some variations may occur.Also, be sure to check the width of your mattress.Got a pillow top mattress? Then you need to buy deep pocket linen. Why, you may ask? Well, if you try to put non deep pocket sheets on your fancy pillow top mattress, you will go insane in your vain attempts to make them fit.Another thing to keep in mind is that the larger your mattress is, the more expensive your bedding will be.Figure in the cost of your sheets if you’ve got your heart set on that king.
If you are like I was, you might have not paid too much attention to the thread count. To express it in the simplest terms, the thread count tells you how many threads, in both directions, are in each square inch of the weave of the sheets. If it is a decent quality sheet set, the count of the thread will be plainly shown on the package.A easy guideline to remember is that the greater the thread count, the softer and more supple the sheets will be.But all that extra comfort will cost you more money.
You may want to consider buying at least two sets of sheets at the same time for a couple of reasons.First of all, when its time to wash the bed linen, you will already have that extra set that you can immediately put on the bed.Another benefit of the two sheet set plan is that no one set gets over used and this in turn will extend the usefulness of each set.
