What do you know about different types of sheets for your bed?<\/h2>\nWhat do you know about different types of sheets for your bed?<\/h2>\nThere\u2019s nothing better than climbing into a freshly made bed with crisp sheets at the end of a long day, right? How you choose to dress your mattress has almost as much to do with your comfort level at night as the type of mattress you own. There\u2019s an overabundance of options when it comes to bed sheets \u2013 different thread counts, feels and fabrics, not to mention colors and patterns.<\/p>\n
Let\u2019s break down all you need to know to pick the best sheets for your bed.<\/p>\n
The thread count of sheets is written across bed sheet packaging but what does it mean and is it important when choosing new sheets? \u201cYes and no,\u201d says Stephen Cardino, home fashion director at Macy\u2019s. \u201cThread count is often used as the barometer of a sheet\u2019s smoothness and durability. However, this measurement\u2014which should refer to the number of threads woven into a square inch of fabric\u2014isn\u2019t always reliable. High thread count is a factor, but the type of cotton can be more significant.\u201d Read more at RealSimple.com<\/a><\/p>\n Most people sleep on sheets woven from some form of cotton or cotton blend \u2013 combed, Egyptian, flannel, Pima or Percale. What\u2019s the difference? Good question.<\/p>\n Sateen and satin are often mistaken as fibers when in reality they\u2019re actually weaves and blends of cotton.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n Once you\u2019ve found the right sheets for you, take care of them so they\u2019ll last longer than just one season. Experts recommend stripping the bed weekly to remove a build-up of dust, debris, sweat and other icky things<\/a> that take up residence in your bed. If you sleep in the nude, consider changing your sheets twice a week for hygienic reasons.<\/p>\n If you\u2019ve just bought new sheets and still aren\u2019t sleeping as soundly as you\u2019d like, it might be time for a new mattress \u2013 and we\u2019d love to help you find the right one for you.
