After shopping for platform beds on sale and looking at all the mattress discounters New York, it’s time to think about your bed sheets.
There are many different options here, so let’s start with the most basic. Most people like cotton, because it breathes easily and is soft, on your skin, and your wallet. There are different types of cotton, and the best are Egyptian and Pima, because they are the longest cotton fibers on the market. This means that they are stronger than other 100% cotton sheets.
The yarn size dictates the fineness of the cotton. The higher, the finer. Higher thread counts use finer yarn because more can be fit into a square inch. But high thread count does not necessarily mean good sheets. This is especially the case with a lot of mass produced sheets because the quality of the fabric for example, is compensated to produce a product with a high thread count. After 300, there is not much difference. Don’t fall into the high thread count trap.
You can also choose satin, silk or flannel sheets, but while the former are great, they’re expensive, and while the latter are comfy, during the summer they can be too warm. If you want nice sheets to cover one of the platform beds on sale that you decide on, go with simple cotton sheets.
