Snow mountain bedding set Norway Mountain Range with Snowy Peaks
A good night’s sleep is only as good as the bedding you do it in. While there’s a lot to consider, we’ve got your decision-making covered – literally. If you don’t know where to start, our 4 key bedding buying steps should help:
Contents
Bedding size
For maximum cosy potential, you’ll find that bedding is designed to be slightly bigger than the mattress it’s made for. For extra comfort, some people choose to size up – so pick king size bedding for a double bed.
Thread count
Thread count literally means the number of threads per square inch of fabric, and is typically only used in reference to cotton. The higher the thread count, the more luxe the cotton feels. And if you see the terms warp and weft, don’t panic – this just refers to the direction of the threads. Warp = vertical, weft = horizontal.
Bedding materials – Snow mountain bedding set Norway Mountain Range with Snowy Peaks
100% cotton. Cotton’s a natural fibre, so 100% cotton bedding means 100% natural. It’s softer than synthetic options, and more breathable too, so offers a cool, comfortable sleep.
100% linen. Linen’s also 100% natural, but more durable than cotton. Plus its neutral pH makes it anti-static and hypoallergenic. It’s breathable and body temperature-regulating. If you’re after a lived-in look (or just hate ironing), stonewashed linen is a more relaxed, lower maintenance option.
Cotton/linen mix. All the qualities of cotton with the breathable/durability of linen, relaxed and easy to live with.
Microfiber vs. Cotton – Snow mountain bedding set Norway Mountain Range with Snowy Peaks
Sheets made of microfiber — fabric composed of extremely fine fibers of polyester — are affordable and soft, and they resist pilling more than traditional polyester fabric does. However, polyester is less breathable than cotton and is probably not the best choice for those with sensitive skin.
Jersey is basically t-shirt fabric, so jersey sheets may appeal to you if you like sleeping in a soft old shirt.
Microfiber and jersey don’t have the cool crispness of woven cotton, so if you like to flip your pillows to the cool side all night long, you’re better off looking at an inexpensive cotton percale instead.
