When choosing bed linen, there are various factors to pay attention to ensuring that you sleep comfortably and that the bed linen lasts a long time. Here are the most important considerations:
1. Material
The material is one of the most important aspects, because it affects the comfort, durability and maintenance of bed linen. The most popular materials are:
- Cotton: This is breathable, soft and durable. Egyptian cotton is known for its luxurious and long service life, while percale and satin offer different weaving styles (percale is crispy, satin is smoother).
- Linen: this is breathable and keeps you cool in the summer, but can feel rough when it is new. However, linen becomes softer as you wash it more often.
- Polyester or microfiber: this is synthetic, often cheaper and less breathable than natural substances, but durable and easy to maintain.
2. Wire count (thread count)
Wire count refers to the number of wires per square inch of the fabric. A higher wire count generally means a softer and more durable sheet, but this is not always a guarantee for quality. For cotton bedding, a wire count between 200 and 400 is often a good choice.
3. WELING
Percale: a mat, fresh feeling and breathable. It has a simple flat bonding and is ideal for warmer climates or people who are warm quickly.
Satin: This has a shiny, smooth finish and feels softer and warmer. It is good for colder climates or people who prefer to sleep warm.
4. Size and fit
Check the dimensions of the sheets to ensure that they fit well on your mattress. Pay particular attention to the depth of the fitted sheet, so that it fits well around your mattress, especially if you have a thick mattress.
5. Maintenance ease of maintenance
Some materials, such as cotton and polyester, are easy to wash and dry. Others, such as silk, require special care. Take a good look at how you want to wash to which product you should purchase, for an industrial conservation we recommend adding more polyester if you want to wash yourself, you can add more cotton.
6. Season or temperature control
The right bed linen can help to regulate your temperature while sleeping:
Linen, bamboo and percale cotton are cool and breathable, ideal for hot months.
Satin and flannel are warmer and suitable for colder months.
