Tips for buying sheets – What makes a great set of sheets and where to buy them
A staple of any great black bedding set is a great set of sheets. It wasn’t that long ago when most sheets were white and you literally had no choice when it came time to buy new sheets. Fortunately, this is no longer the case and shoppers now have a huge amount of styles and colors to choose from when shopping. There is sure to be a model or style that suits you perfectly. Here are some simple yet effective tips to help you make the right choice when it comes to buying the new set of sheets for your bed.
The first thing you need to do is measure the size of your bed. It’s not enough to simply look for queen or king size sheets; because what you may find is that your queen size sheets don’t fit your queen size bed perfectly. This is because sometimes manufacturers may use different standards and the only way to make sure you are getting the right size sheets is to measure your bed and compare them to the sheet sizes. You will need to measure not only the length and width of the bed, but also the thickness of the mattress. This is the first step to finding the best sheets for your bed and you.
The second most important thing is the thread count. The thread count reflects the quality of the sheets. The higher the thread count, the higher the quality. Sheets with a high thread count last much longer and are usually much softer and better for sleeping. The downside here is that you will have to pay more for high thread count sheets. Anything over 250 threads is considered the highest quality, but if you’re on a budget, then anything between 100 to 200 should be more than enough. Just remember that if you can spend a little more here, it will pay off in the long run as you’ll probably sleep much better on high thread count sheets.
Where is the best place to shop for bed sheets? The three most popular places are online, discount stores and department stores. Each of them has its advantages and disadvantages. If you’re on a budget and the sky’s the limit, then department stores offer the widest range around. However, the price will be much higher than anywhere else, so you may want to check out the department stores to get an idea of what brands are on the market and make your purchase somewhere else cheaper. Discount stores are obviously great for bargain hunters, but the downside is that they usually have very limited inventory. You may have to visit several stores before you find something to your liking and actually spend more time driving around the stores than actually looking at sheets. Shopping online is a great way to buy sheets because not only can you quickly browse sites and have hundreds of brands on hand, but you can also get a great price. The problem with shopping online is that you can’t touch or see your sheets in person until you make the purchase and they are delivered. You may end up buying a set of sheets that look great but are terrible for sleeping on.
