Sleeping in bed is the
most rejuvenating part of a person's life. So a
comfortable bed and bedding that complements the
overall bedroom décor is a must. Since bed sheets are
the most visible part of a bed, high quality bed
sheets can make quite a difference to the visual
appeal and comfort level of the room.
Here are a few tips on choosing the right kind of
bed sheets:
While most of the mattresses come in standard
sizes such as 'King-sized', 'Queen-sized' and 'Full-sized',
the customized mattresses with pillow tops and other
accessories attached to them can make them larger and wider
and will need larger bed sheets than the standard ones
available in the market. Thus, it is better to measure the bed
and the mattress size that you use beforehand, so that the bed
sheets you buy are of appropriate sizes.
Thread count per inch or TPI is an important
factor to be considered while buying a bed sheet. Bed sheets
with higher TPI (more than 250) are softer, more comfortable
and last longer. The bed sheets having lower than 200 TPI are
not recommended for daily use.
Cotton bed sheets are the most popular ones
though one can use flannel and cotton mixed fabrics as bed
sheets depending on our taste.
On the high end of fashion and comfort level,
satins and silks with their soft feel on skin win almost every
romantic heart.
Colors and designs of the bed sheets should
match the overall theme and color scheme of the room, though
it can have a deeper hue than the color of the walls.
Pale colors suit summer season while fall
bedroom décor can accommodate more bright and bold colors.
