Six Steps to Own the Perfect Bed Sheet - It’s Newsworthy

It was common to have white sheets in everybodys bedroom quite some time back. Nowadays there is a diversity of such bedding stocked up in shops and you are actually spoilt for choice. The latest bedding are available in irresistible prints and colours that change the look of your sleeping room

Following are some factors that matter a lot when you buy a bed sheet.

Evaluate the sizing of your bed

Though we are all aware what a twin or king or queen size bed is, what many of us dont know is that there are no standard dimensions for these kinds of beds. The top dimensions might be the same, but again the measurements differ with each manufacturer. Due to this disagreement in the dimensions, it is safe to measure all the dimensions and the depth of your mattress too. Your bed could be shorter or taller than another one from the same producer. It is always better to be ready with your beds proportions prior to shopping.

Zero down on the Bedding store

Large departmental stores have a separate department for linen and bedding and offer branded sheets and in-house brands under the same roof. If you want something ethnic like embroidered bedding or luxurious ones there might be a shop selling what you want close by. Another alternative is to shop online for the largest variety. The basic bedding are sold in discount storehouses for a small cost.

Learn about the thread count of bedding

A thread count stands for the count of threads consisted in one square inch of a sheet in both weaving directions. This count is mentioned on the label of the bedsheet itself. For a lush feel, a high thread count is desirable. Dont go for a higher thread count than desired as the thin single threads will not feel cozy. For the right soft feel, a thread count of 175 - 250 is fine.

Determine on material for your bed sheet

A material that is reasonably 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 buy basic cotton fabrics. For a warm cocoon around you, flannel is best in wintertime. For a lavish look, go for satin, silk or microfiber.

Calculate the sizing of the bedsheet

Now you need to calculate the length and breadth of the bed sheet. It is crucial to verify if the bedsheet you are purchasing will fit well on your bed. Remember that all shrink by 7% when they are first washed. If you have really liked the bedding you plan to purchase, 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!
