3 Aspects to Consider When You Buy Bed Sheets Online

Posted by Vmart Retail on March 11th, 2020

When it comes to buying bed sheets, many people just go buy the color and design pattern in their decision. This is especially the case when you scan over those seemingly attractive-looking images online. Then, after a few months they bemoan that the bed sheet has faded, wrinkled or gotten torn – and they set out buying another with the same results a few months later.

Rather than keep blowing your money on such low quality bed sheets, doesn’t it make sense to buy the ones that are of high quality and durable?

However, for the average people, differentiating between a high and low quality bed sheet is not as easy as you might feel. There are some aspects you need to consider when you buy bed sheets online to spend your money wisely.

This article examines the top three features you should consider when buying bed sheets – Fabric type, thread count, and the weave.

Type of Fabric Used

We would say this should be your prime consideration in selecting bed sheets. Look out for fabrics in Pima, Supima and Egyptian cotton as these are the ones which are high quality and long lasting. Avoid synthetic and other types of cotton blends. While they may be cheaper, but they are generally not of high quality and tend to fade faster.

All these three types of fabric have long fibers so they give a superior finish and are soft and smooth to touch. Moreover, they last longer, and continue to appear fresh even after months of use.

Number of Thread Count

Another aspect to consider when buying bed sheets online is the thread count. While this may not be as important as fabric type, it still matters.

Bed sheets with higher thread counts would be more durable as there are higher numbers of threads per square inch. This also results in better finish and makes such bed sheets slightly costlier compared to low thread count ones – simply because more work is involved in manufacturing these.

Type of Weave Used

Primarily, there are two kinds of weave you would see displayed online – Percale and sateen.

If durability is your main concern, percale weave bed sheets would be ideal. This weave has same number of threads both horizontally as well as vertically across the bed sheet. This results in a tightly woven, combed finish which is soft as well as crisp. Such bed sheets are ideal for frequent washing and constant use.

If you are looking for sheen and silkiness as well, besides just softness, go for sateen (not to be confused with ‘satin’) weave. This kind has more number of threads running across vertically than horizontally. Such bed sheets though, might only be used occasionally as these are not as durable as compared to percale woven bed sheets, and won’t withstand frequent washing, especially within a washing machine.

However, the softness and sheen they offer are incomparable to any other kind of bed sheet.
