Suggestions On Designing With Luxury Bedding
Knowing that we spend a third of our lives in bed should help you in your decision making when it comes to good bedding. So needless to say that it is absolutely imperative that you purchase good quality sheets and a supportive mattress to sleep on.
The first thing to consider when purchasing bed sheets is the thread count of those sheets. The higher the thread count, means more threads per square inch. And the more threads per square inch makes that fabric strong, more durable and longer lasting.
Not to mention how much more softer and silkier the feel of the fabric. We are describing here the King of cotton, the Egyptian cotton bed sheets. You can find this luxurious fabric, which is less prone to shrinkage too, with thread counts of 300, 500 up to 600!
Pima or Supima also has a long fiber staple and is comparable in quality to the Egyptian cotton. The only difference between the two fabrics is geographical. Pima is grown in the American Southwest and Egyptian cotton grows in the fields along the Nile River in Egypt.
Next choice is Pima or Supima which is compared to the luxury of Egyptian sheets. The difference is geographical; Egyptian is just that and the cotton is grown along the Nile River in Egypt. Pima is American and is grown in the Southwest.
Your lower quality but more affordable is percale sheets. The thread count is not as high, typically around’0 to 200 and can be found as 100% cotton or a mix blend of 50/50 cotton and polyester blend. Your 200 thread count of course will give you a softer feel.
Your mattress will be a big decision for you because you’ll find tons of different sizes, quality and thicknesses. First determine if you want a softer mattress or firmer mattress. It’s a personal preference and you’ll want to purchase the one that will accompany the two of you. Memory foam is popular but the user will find that it is a bit warmer than most. If you are one to kick off your covers all the time, this may not be right for you.
Also consider a mattress pad or cover when you purchase your mattress. This will protect your mattress from any sweat or stains which in turn will prolong the life of the mattress. Pillow-top mattresses are soft and warm, but a bit pricey. Some users say they are too soft and warm. Buying an extra thick pad for your mattress will definitely be cheaper than buying a pillow-top.
A high-end goose down comforter is much like the high-end Egyptian sheets, in that it will give you more years of enjoyment. You know the old saying, you get what you pay for, is certainly true when it comes to thread count and luxurious quality bedding.
