Six Steps to Own the Perfect Teak Platform Bed Sheet – Mesmerizing
A long time ago when I was a child, I remember that all the asian platform bed sheets in my house had to be white cotton ones. Nowadays there is a diversity of such bed sheets stocked up in stores and you are actually spoilt for choice. Nobody had considered that bedding could be made using such lovely pastel tones and several cloths.
Following are some factors that matter a lot when you buy a bed sheet.
Calculate the beds proportions
Though we are all aware what a twin or king or queen size bed is, what many of us dont know is that there are no standard dimensions for these beds. Usually the top measurements dont differ a lot but the other proportions vary with each bed maker. Due to this discrepancy in the dimensions, 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 producer. Measuring your bed will give you an idea of the size of your bed sheet before purchasing.
Choose your Depot
You will find a lot of top makes in bed linen available in a departmental shop near you. Those looking for embroidered bedding or luxurious looking sheets can purchase them from a specialty storehouse. Another choice is to shop online for the largest variety. The basic bedding are sold in discount storehouses for a small price.
Learn about the thread count of bedding
A thread count signifies the count of threads consisted in one square inch of a sheet in both weaving directions. The label of the bedsheet has the thread count printed on it. A lush texture calls for a high thread count. Beware of a very high thread count as the sheet may have lighter threads and not the texture you want. For the right soft feel, a thread count of 175 to around 300 is fine.
Pick your bed sheet material
A material that is sensibly priced and feels nice to sleep on is the one for you. Though cotton fiber is the most chosen material, some people go for the cotton blends as they do not crease. A chilly night calls for a flannel bed sheet. Then there is the all time preferred silk, satin or microfiber that provides luxury.
Check out the sheet proportions
Measuring the bedsheet before buying is as important as measuring the bed size. It is crucial to verify if the bedsheet you are buying will fit well on your bed. The first wash can shrink your bed sheet by at least 7 %. It is a good idea to stock up some extra sets of bed sheets. This way an accidentally torn sheet can be replaced fast.
Once all the above factors are taken care of, you are sure to purchase a nice and affordable bed sheet soon!
