Six Steps to Own the Perfect Bed Sheet – Amusing
Long time ago when I was a child, I recall that all the bedding in my house had to be white cotton ones. today there is a myriad of such bedding stocked up in shops and you are actually spoilt for choice. The latest bedding are available in appealing prints and colours that change the look of your bedroom
Here are six steps that you can follow to buy the ideal bed sheet for you.
Calculate the beds dimensions
It is a common belief that one queen bed or king bed has the same proportions which is so untrue. Usually the top measurements dont differ a lot but the other dimensions vary with each bed producer. The bottom line is that you need to calculate the height, width, breadth of the bed and also check how thick the mattress is. Often similar beds from the same brand are longer or wider than each other. When you have your beds dimensions with you, choosing a bedsheet is easier.
Choose your Depot
You will find a lot of top names in bed linen available in a departmental shop near you. For a unique look, some people also go for embroidered with sequins. The Internet is brimming with fresh new patterns every day. In case you wish to buy 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 bed sheet in both directions of the weave. This count is mentioned on the label of the bed sheet itself. A luxurious grain calls for a higher thread count. Dont go for a higher thread count than preferred as the thin single threads will not feel comfy. It is advisable that you go for a thread count in the range of 175 – 250 for a soft sheet under you.
Choose the bed sheet cloth.
Take care to choose a fabric that you can afford and is cozy too. If you prefer wrinkle-free sheets then go for cotton blends or you can purchase basic cotton fabrics. A chilly night calls for a flannel bed sheet. Those who wish a casual sheet can go for satin or silk.
Follow washing tips
Read the wash and care instructions for the sheets properly before buying them. Silk sheets cannot be machine washed as they are delicate. Are you ready to do that? Hence choose a bedsheet that you can afford and require less maintenance.
These little tips will surely help you in choosing the right bedsheet for you and make every night a night to remember!
