Buying bed linen

• Measure your bed, mattress, duvet and pillows. Although king size and queen size beds are popular description of the size, there are no exact absolute measurements for beds with these names.

  In order to buy exactly what you need and save your time and effort, check once again the measurements of your bed components. What size is your duvet (or do you have two of them?), how thick is your mattress, are your pillows square of rectangular and what exact size? Write this info down and take the note with you when shopping.

• Pick a store that suits your tastes and budget. Are you the type who wants to touch the fabric before buying? Is a mass market product what you really dislike? Have you stumbled upon an affordable stylish bed linen on-line shop while browsing for something else and can’t through it out of your head? Just think of what you need and what you like and then make a decision about the shop.
• Learn About Thread Count in Bed Sheets. This is a most common measure to describe the quality of a bed linen set. The tread count of the sheets refers to the number of threads per square inch in both directions in the weave. The higher the number, the more luxurious the feel of a fabric.

• Choose the fabric of your bedding linen. Pure linen bed linen, satin, flannel, cotton or maybe bamboo? Our advice is – choose the best you can afford! You spend one third of your life in bed, so let this time be comfortable, pleasant and aesthetic.
• Buy more bedding sets than you need. It’s wise to have more bed sheets than it is needed at this exact moment so not to repeat the time consuming decision process again soon!
• Check the care instructions. It is very thoughtful to read the laundering instructions before purchasing your bedding linen. You maybe dream of silk bed sheets but will you be able to dry clean them every week? Do you know the prices for this service? Our advice is always to follow the cleaning instructions the manufacturer provided – your bed linen will serve you longer and the nice feel of the fabric maintain throughout all the service time.
