Top Tips for Choosing the Right Platform Bed Sheet
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. today there is a myriad of such bed sheets stocked up in shops and you are actually spoiled for choice. Bedding was never so beautiful with the vibrant colours, prints and textures that are offered in bedding today
That is why there are some matters that need to be taken care of before you spend any money on purchasing bedding.
Evaluate the size of your bed
Though we are all aware what a twin or king or queen size bed is, many of us dont know that there are no standard proportions for these beds. Usually the top measurements dont differ a lot but the other dimensions vary with each bed maker. The bottom line is that you need to calculate the height, width, largeness of the bed and also check how thick the mattress is. You will find that some beds are longer or wider than others with the same name. When you have your beds dimensions with you, choosing a bedsheet is easier.
Determine from where to buy
You will find a lot of top makes in bed linen available in a departmental shop near you. Those looking for embroidered bed sheets or lavish looking sheets can purchase them from a specialty storehouse. If you still cannot find what you want, try the online stores. In case you wish to purchase regular bedding you can get a good deal at a discount rate outlet.
Learn about the thread count of
The number of threads that are present in a square inch of the sheet in back and forth direction of its weave is known as thread count. You will find this thread count on the bed sheets label. For a luxurious feel, a high thread count is desirable. Dont go for a higher thread count than preferred as the thin single threads will not feel cosy. A soft bedsheet has a thread count that lies between 175 and 250.
Choose the bed sheet fabric.
You need to choose such material for your bedding which fits in your budget and is comfortable at the same time. Though cotton fiber is the most preferable material, some people go for the cotton blends as they do not wrinkle. For a warm cocoon around you, flannel is best in winter. For a lavish look, go for satin, silk or microfiber.
Check out the sheet proportions
Now you need to calculate the length and breadth of the bed sheet. With the bed sizing ready with you, check if the bedsheet you plan to purchase will fit your bed. Remember that all shrink by 7% when they are first washed. If you have really liked the you plan to purchase, always invest in some additional sets. This way an accidentally torn sheet can be replaced fast.
Once all the above factors are taken care of, you are sure to buy a nice and inexpensive bedsheet soon!
