What to look for when buying bed linen: a miser pays twice

14.06.2024 03:10

Bed linen is rightly considered an important element of bedroom design, so its selection should be approached both consciously and creatively.

First, you need to decide on the size. Sometimes in different countries they sew according to different measurements, putting the same markings on the packaging.

It probably won't hurt if the sheet is a little bigger than needed. But what if it's smaller?

To avoid making a mistake, it is better to check the dimensions of the mattress in advance and compare them with the centimeters indicated on the box.

When buying a new bedding set, you should also pay attention to the seams that are used to finish the pillowcases, duvet covers and sheets.

Reliable manufacturers who supply quality goods to the market process the edges with a special linen stitch. The threads, of course, must be strong and not stick out.

Especially the quality and comfort of sleep are affected by the material the bed linen is made of, also do not forget about the size, because if you buy one and a half bed linen instead of a double bed linen, you will be confused.

In no case should you buy sets made of synthetic fabrics, even if they look very attractive. Artificial materials do not let air through, they are hot in summer and cold in winter, and the body does not rest at all on such sheets.

Preference should be given to natural fabrics such as cotton, linen or silk. They will not harm your health (on the contrary, they can help improve your well-being) and will last much longer than synthetics.

Unfortunately, the prices for high-quality natural materials are quite high, but in this case a miser can pay twice: the thin fabric of bed linen will quickly wear out, fade and become unusable, which means you will soon have to spend money on buying a new set.

Nowadays, you can buy linen of any shape and color, with or without patterns. You need to focus on your own preferences and the overall design of the bedroom.
