Good quality bedding makes all the difference to getting a good night’s sleep. Whether you are shopping for beddings to use in divan beds, folding beds, French beds, or princess beds, here are some tips for choosing good quality bed sheets.

Cotton sheets continue to be the most popular and for a good reason. They are easy to take care of and most people like the natural, breathable feeling of the material. The quality of cotton, and of many other materials including silk, can be determined by the thread count, which is always written on the label. A higher thread count means higher quality material and also a softer feel. A good count for everyday sheets is 250 or more. For a more luxurious feeling try the high-quality Egyptian cotton that is one of the softest and smoothest varieties available.

A polyester/cotton blend can be more affordable than 100% cotton and is also less likely to get wrinkled. Satin and silk are the most elegant choices and even though many buyers consider silk to be too expensive for daily use, a large number of people swear by silk sheets. Even though they can be more costly than other materials, silk sheets are very durable, can take wear and tear, and usually prove to be some of the most long-lasting types of sheets on the market. Because silk feels comfortable even in hot weather and provides warmth in cold weather, a silk sheet set can be used in any climate around the year.

Many sheets shrink a little when you first wash them in a machine. Even if you are using fitted sheets, they usually stretch enough to adjust to some shrinkage. Whatever your choice of material, make sure to read the washing guidelines carefully to make sure your bedding lasts long and remains soft and smooth.
