Till some years back asian platform bed sheets used to be made from white cotton cloth. nowadays you find so much variety in these bedding that it becomes hard to choose. The latest are available in appealing prints and colours that change the look of your sleeping room

Here are six steps that you can follow to purchase the ideal bed sheet for yourself.

Evaluate the size of your bed

It is a common myth that one queen bed or king bed has the same proportions which is so untrue. The top dimensions might be the same, but again the measurements differ with each manufacturer. Due to this variant in the proportions, it is safe to measure all the proportions and the depth of your mattress too. Your bed could be shorter or longer than another one from the same manufacturer. It is always better to be ready with your beds proportions prior to shopping.

Determine from where to purchase

Bigger departmental stores have a separate division for linen and bedding and offer branded sheets and in-house brands under the same roof. For a unique look, some people also go for embroidered with sequins. The Internet is full with fresh new designs every day. The basic are sold in discount stores for a reasonable cost.

Learn about the thread count of bedding

The amount of threads that are present in a square inch of the sheet in back and forth direction of its weave is known as thread count. You will find this thread count on the bedsheets label. More the thread count, more is the richness of the fabric. Dont go for a higher thread count than preferred as the thin single threads will not feel snug. It is advisable that you go for a thread count in the range of 175 to around 300 for a soft sheet under you.

Decide on material for your bed sheet

A material that is sensibly priced and feels nice to sleep on is the one for you. Cotton sheets are still liked, but blended cotton is preferable by those who dont like wrinkles. A cold night calls for a flannel bedsheet. For a luxurious look, go for satin, silk or microfiber.

Check out the sheet dimensions

Measuring the bed sheet before buying is as important as measuring the bed sizing. With the bed size ready with you, check if the bed sheet you plan to buy will fit your bed. Take into account the average 7% shrinking that all bedding undergo after the first laundry. Also, if these sheets are fine, buy some extra sets for your beds. these extra sets come in handy if you have kids at home.

Once all the above factors are taken care of, you are sure to purchase a nice and affordable bedsheet soon!
