How to Buy Sheets
Bed Sheet Buying Guide:
The first step to understanding some basics about luxury bedding is to learn more about the different types of fabrics and weaves that are available. Once you know about your options for different types of materials for sheets, you can better make a choice about the best type of sheets to purchase for your home.
What Sheet Material is the Best?
One of the most popular fabrics for luxury sheets is cotton. Not only is it super soft and comfortable, but it is also very durable and offers great breathability. The best quality luxury sheets are made from cotton with long-staple fibers that are spun into high-quality, fine yarns.
You may have heard terms like percale, sateen, and Pima cotton, which are all used to describe how the fabric for the cotton sheets is woven, however, you may not be familiar with the features of each as well as the differences.
Linen is another popular fabric choice for luxury bed sheets. Breathable, natural linen bedding exudes laid-back luxury and is an excellent choice for warmer climates due to its natural wicking qualities.
The natural fibers of luxury linen sheets offer texture and dimension to your sleep experience, which is the opposite of cotton sheeting that feels smooth and crisp. Those who enjoy the simple and textured style of luxury linen sheets include them among the finest sheets in the world.
