So, you have proudly redecorated your bedroom and you are now putting the finishing touches to the décor. Choosing bed sheets can be quite tricky in terms of matching colours and finding the best designs. In order to help you, we have put together a list of top tips for finding the best linen.
What colour suits your bedroom best?
Ensure that whatever colour sheets you choose works with the colour you have decorated your bedroom in.
Also bear in mind the following points:
– Darker sheets will fade due to washing more quickly than lighter sheets.
– Lighter sheets show stains more prominently
– Patterned sheets need to match the décor
What size sheets do you need?
There are two issues to consider here. Firstly, check how deep your mattress is in inches. Then, find out what size your mattress is. Once you know the answer to both questions, you should choose either a single, twin, double, king, super king or queen size mattress sheet to fit your bed. Check to ensure that the sheet you have chosen is large enough to fit the depth of your mattress. This information should be printed on the information slip inside the packaging.
Which fabric do you prefer?
There are many different types of fabrics to choose from for your bed, including polyester, silk or cotton. Bear in mind that cotton and poly blends or polyester blends may become uncomfortable when it is warm. On the other hand, rayon sheets are cooler to touch. Choosing the fabric you wish to sleep on really is a matter of personal choice, so it might be wise to test a few out in a bedding shop before making your mind up.
Fabric quality is important
Thread count is a measure of a bed sheet’s quality. A sheet which has a 300-400 thread count or anything higher is seen as being of a good standard. The best thing to do is to try different bed sheets out to decide what works for you.
Compare Prices!
Don’t be tempted to choose the first bed sheets you find, as it is always worth shopping around to see if you can secure a better deal elsewhere. Use the Internet to see if you can locate a bed sheet provider offering a better price.
Other Useful Tips:
– Check your bed sheet set includes a bed sheet, duvet and two pillow cases.
– If you buy fitted sheets but find that they keep slipping off the mattress, it is easy to purchase elastic bands from a bedding manufacturer to ensure that the sheet stays on.
– Consider whether your children or pets are likely to come into contact with your new bed sheets. If so, reconsider the quality and the amount of money you are planning to spend on them – you may prefer to go for a budget option, especially with small children!
Hopefully, these tips will help you to find the perfect bedding for your bedroom!
