Best Bed Sheets

When it comes to updating your bedding, how do you choose the right bedding at the right price for your budget? The difference between a good quality and an inferior sheet can be harder for a beginner to define than you think. And while you might think you know the difference between the two, if you feel it, Décor Aid interior designers are here to dispel the many myths and misconceptions about finding the best sheets for your home.

How do you know what to look for? What are the best bed linen at any price? And what exactly is it that makes good bed linen?  

All the great questions and luckily for your next home upgrade, we have all the answers. From the more expensive white luxury options meant to have the feel of a five-star hotel, to affordable and stylish (but surprisingly good for the price) bedding, here is our edited list of some of the best bedding for 2019 and beyond.

How do you know a good comforter when you see one?

When choosing the perfect bedding in 2019, there are a few considerations you need to make in order to achieve the best possible use for your budget. The three most important things to consider are thread count, fabric type and weave.

Fortunately, with these simple and proven shopping tips, you will soon be able to choose the best bedsheets with confidence and no hassle.

Which fabric is best for a bed sheet?

The type of fabric is much more important when buying sheets than many people think. When buying bedding online, look out for Pima, Supima, and Egyptian cotton sheets as these are often the best products. As with fashion and furniture, the better the quality of the fabric, the better the bed linen and the longer it will last. So watch out for synthetic blends and avoid, avoid, avoid. 

Trust us, if you run your hand over a standard cotton bed sheet and then over an Egyptian cotton sheet, you will notice a huge difference in quality and feel. All three cottons have long fibers. When they are woven into sheets, they make wonderfully soft and smooth sheets that are silky to the touch and pleasant to the touch. They also last much longer, look fresher longer, and don’t fade as quickly as other cottons and synthetic blends.

How about Thread Count?

Thread count isn’t the be-all and end-all of choosing the best bed sheets, but it’s still an important factor to keep in mind. Higher thread count sheets tend to be more expensive simply because more labor goes into weaving more threads in an inch. And usually, the more threads you have in a square inch, the more stable and longer it will last, and the softer the sheet, the smoother it will feel.

However, the fabric type exceeds the thread count, so you can afford a slightly lower thread count if you choose a higher quality fabric. Don’t discount thread count as a good indicator of a quality sheet, but remember that thread count does matter when searching for bedsheets online. However, our interior designers have found that lower quality bed sheet manufacturers have recently exaggerated their thread count claims. So be sure to touch the bedding that you plan to buy before buying to ensure a comfortable feeling.

What about weaving?

There are two main fabrics you might see when you search for bedsheets online: satin and percale.

Percale leaves have the same number of threads running through them horizontally as they do vertically. Tightly woven and combed percale bedsheets have a smooth weave that offers both softness and crispness. Percale is a very durable bed sheet, making percale models the best sheets to withstand frequent washing and wear and tear. If you’ve stayed in some hotels in your time, the sheets you slept on were likely to be percale for that very reason. Higher thread counts make for a heavier bed sheet and lower thread counts for a lighter sheet, which would make the best bed sheet for summer 2019.

Satin (not to be confused with satin) helps make bedsheets that are soft, silky to the touch, and have a sheen that you can’t get with a percale sheet. Satin sheets are woven with more threads that run vertically than horizontally. This means that they are not as dirt and heat resistant as percale, and they won’t take as many turns through your washing machine. If you love the feel of a silky sheet against your skin (really, who doesn’t?) Then satin is the best material for you as you can’t beat its softness.

Which bed linen should be considered based on price?
