Fitted Bedroom

Purchasing Luxury Bedding can be a wise choice. Luxury Bedding can be said to help reduce sleep deprivation and increase comfort, thus increasing one’s ability to sleep. Approximately one third of a human’s life will be spent in bed, so it’s best that you spend that time sleeping. Unfortunately that is not always the case. About 60 Million people suffer sleep deprivation. Sleep deprivation can result in fatigue, daytime sleepiness, clumsiness and excessive weight gain. That’s not to say that those with luxury bedding will avoid sleep deprivation altogether, however it certainly doesn’t hurt to have one less thing to worry about.

There are a number of factors that go into selecting luxury bedding sets. The first and most important is thread count, this number referring to the number of threads per square inch in the weave of the fabric. Generally, this will be listed on the package. Here is a tip though: If you can actually make out the weave and individual threads with the naked eye, do not even consider it. It will be the next worst thing to sleeping on burlap. Higher thread counts lead directly to the luster, silky texture, and warm, soft feeling so important in luxury bedding. Keep in mind that higher thread count products are using some extremely thin threads, so launder with care. One caveat: Imported products often are not up the thread count standards of domestically made goods, and their thread count numbers may be not be an accurate reflection of the bedding’s actual quality. Remember, bedding is one thing you certainly want to shop for in person if at all practical, so that you may see and feel the product for yourself. Thread counts in the 200 to 220 range are considered good, 300 is quite a bit better, 400 is about the maximum, anything beyond 400 probably makes no notable difference.

Material is the next vital consideration. Far and away the most popular bedding material is cotton. Many people consider Egyptian Cotton to be the king of materials for luxury bed sheets. Grown along the Nile River, this cotton has especially long fibers, which can be made into exceptionally strong and smooth threads. Egyptian cotton sheets are world famous for their silky texture, luster, and soft warm feeling. Egyptian cotton is sometimes blended with other fibers. Avoid this, as doing so kills the very qualities one seeks by buying Egyptian in the first place, and go with only 100% Egyptian products. Egyptian cotton with high thread counts can be quite expensive, running into the hundreds of dollars per sheet range. Pima cotton is grown in the Southwestern United States, is also quite smooth, and is far more reasonably priced than Egyptian cotton. Plain cotton is the least expensive but will never have the luxurious feel of either Egyptian or Pima Cotton. For the ultimate in luxury bedding materials, consider silk. Silk holds body heat in more efficiently than any other materials, clings well to the body as the sleeper changes positions, while feeling cool to the touch and having the sort of exquisite tactile qualities that make “silky” such a potent adjective.

Remember when shopping for luxury bed linen to measure your bed’s dimensions very carefully. You do not want to have to return to the store to exchange these items, especially if they are rather expensive. Moreover, in your budgeting, remember that you will need three sets of linens for each bed. A set for use on the bed, a set that can be awaiting washed, and a spare will make sure that your bed is never bare.
