DETROIT – A sound and sweet sleep depend not only on a comfortable bed and a comfortable mattress but also on bedding, including the quality of the sheets used. It is important to know how to choose a quality sheet and what material it should be made of so that you can sleep comfortably on it.

You can always buy such a sheet in the linens store “Linens & Hutch” at the best prices.

Our online store will help you choose a sheet from any materials for your own bed or as a gift. The quality of the material and reasonable prices will satisfy even the most demanding lovers of good rest. Here are a few criteria by which you should choose a sheet:

  • The first thing you need to pay attention to is the sensations that arise during tactile contact with the fabric. It should be pleasant to the touch, gentle. The skin must first “approve” the bedding so that later there are no unpleasant sensations during sleep.
  • The density of sheets should not be lower than 60. It can be determined “by eye”. After all, the thin material is immediately visible. The denser the bed, the better, higher quality, and more durable.
  • Fabric or ready-made bedding should not emit an unpleasant odor, smell of dampness, mold, or synthetic substances. One of the reasons for the unpleasant aroma can be the presence of low-quality dyes.
  • The color of the threads on the seams should match the color of the bed. This is another characteristic of a quality bed.
  • If there are ornaments or embroidered patterns on the fabric, rub them with the back of your hand. It should not cause irritation and unpleasant sensations. If the threads are hard and of poor quality, you risk waking up with scratches in the morning.
  • You can check the quality of dyeing: rub the front side of the material with the palm of your hand, no traces of dye should remain on your hand.

What fabrics do we use to make sheets?

  1. Knitwear. It is a versatile fabric that is great for making sheets. They are soft and elastic and have a long service life. If you observe the temperature regime during washing, the knitted sheet does not wrinkle, which means that it does not require ironing.
  2. Mahra. Fluffy and warm canvas, which is familiar to everyone since childhood. A light and delicate terry sheet is indispensable for those who like to luxuriate in bed, enjoying comfort. Special weaving in the form of eyelets made of natural fibers provides warmth and hygroscopicity.
  3. Satin. A popular fabric made from natural fibers that look neat and aesthetically pleasing. The satin fabric creates a microclimate during rest, it is practically not felt by the body. Due to air circulation, the fabric is suitable for use in both summer and winter.
