Buying Guide
Thread Count
No matter where youâre shopping, thereâs one thing that remains of the up most importance: thread count. Thread count simply refers to how many threads are used to make the sheets, a pretty simple explanation in reality. But when you actually get in bed, youâll realize the important of a high thread count. The thread count will decide how soft the sheets will be, a higher thread count means thinner, finer thread must be used to sew the sheets, meaning theyâll be softer and smoother.
A high thread count also means more density, which means stronger, more-durable bed sheets. Higher density also means less airflow, though, which can be a bad thing in warmer climates as it doesnât allow warm air to escape as easily.
Material
Material is also very important when it comes to bedding. Cotton sheets are comfortable, but even softer are silk and satin. Cotton sheets are both comfortable and affordable, and they also allow the most diversity in print and pattern as they can be sewn to display designs.
There are different types of cotton: Egyptian, Pima, and cotton blend. Egyptian cotton is the most durable, but also the most expensive. Pima cotton is still soft like Egyptian cotton, but itâs made with shorter fibers meaning slightly less strength. Finally, a cotton/polyester blend is a mix of different fibers and is typically the easiest to care for.
Weave
The way that a sheet is sewn and finished matters a lot. There are four main weaves for bed sheets. Percale weaves make sheets that are overall pretty lightweight (great for warmer weather) and the weave itself is close and tight. Percale bed sheets tend to have a smooth, crisp feel to them. Sateen has more yarn surface than other bed sheets, meaning it will have an incredibly soft and smooth feel to it. Itâs lustrous finish resembles satin. The third type of weave is twill, which is used made by working welt and warp yarns together to create a diagonal line that give the effect of a ribbed appearance. The last weave is flannel, which is brushed cotton. Flannel is best for colder climates as itâs actually not made with thread, itâs cotton that has been pulled into a sheet (meaning itâs measured in ounces of cotton and not with thread count).
Bed Sizes
To get the right fit, measure your mattress before purchasing sheets. Hereâs a quick-look at the most common sizes:
Sheet |
Mattress Size (inches) |
Twin Sheets |
38 by 75 |
Twin XL Sheets |
38 by 80 |
Full/Double Sheets |
53 by 75 |
Queen Sheets |
60 by 80 |
Kind Sheets |
78 by 80 |
California King Sheets |
72 by 84 |
âExtra deepâ sheets fit mattresses up to 18â thick.
Bedding Care
Once you find the right fit, itâs important to know how to properly care for your bed sheets. Contrary to popular belief, you shouldnât just throw your sheets in the dryer with the rest of your laundry, here are some tips:
1. Hang out side when you can as this will help give your sheets a clean, fresh scent. Plus, sunlight kills germs! Donât wash or dry sheets with towels, it ruins their softness!
3. If youâre putting them in a dryer, throw some tennis balls in as well. This will help them dry faster and help stop them from knotting, both of which helps prevent shrinking.
4. Donât use fabric softener! It doesnât actually make the sheets softer; it coats them with chemicals to make them feel softer. The coating wears your sheets quicker and not to mention itâs bad for your skin.
Donât over-wash your sheets, this will quickly wear them and can cause rips and tears.
