Finding the perfect bed sheets can be very time-consuming and often can lead you down a rabbit hole of false advertisement. We’ve compiled a short list of tips to keep in mind when purchasing bed sheets so you can sleep soundly at night!
1) Do your research – There are now many more options than there used to be. For example, bamboo is a soft fabric option that breathes well. Remember to look for reviews to ensure that it is more than just an expensive and disappointing gimmick.
2) Buy quality sheets – be aware of the fancy packaging; ensure the manufacturer is trustworthy before making a purchase. Some brands use excess fabric and cheap stitching that doesn’t hold.
3) Don’t buy more than you need – If you want to cover your mattress, you might want to buy one or two sets of sheets per bed. You can quickly get away with having just one set on top of your bed when washing them, but this is not recommended for use as a bed sheet. It’s good to have some spare to put in the laundry if, for some reason, the first set doesn’t work out well for you.
4) If you are buying for children, be sure to buy a sheet that is not too small but also not too large. This will ensure it isn’t falling off their bed or covering them entirely.
5) Now that you know some of the basics, you’re ready to buy! Most stores have sheets that are uniform in size and color, so it’s easy to browse and find exactly what you’re looking for; however, some alternatives may help make your search easier. Amazon allows you to look at a full range of fabrics while Jason’s will enable you to view every sheet they have on display in real-time. bamboo bed sheets are one of the most popular new additions to the industry.
6) Now that you’ve found exactly what you need, pick up a set and get comfortable. You now have your perfect bed sheets. When it’s time to wash them, use warm water and mild detergent. If you are worried about your sheets over the long term, you can use a particular color safe bleach called Enzyme Wash. You can find it at most grocery stores or online at Amazon.
7) Now that you’ve found your perfect bed sheet, why not make a few changes? We have a blog dedicated to helping you with that! Check out our blog, The Best Sleep of Your Life – The Bed Sheet Edition, to learn more about making your bed into the perfect sleep environment.
