Material, thread count and weave are important factors when choosing bedsheets. (iStock)
Sheets are essential for good sleep. Choosing the right bedsheets is important because the material and quality can impact factors like comfort, temperature regulation, breathability and the overall feeling of luxury. The right sheets can contribute to a more restful sleep experience.
When you are choosing sheets, consider what material best fits you. Different materials like cotton (especially Egyptian cotton), linen, bamboo, silk, or microfiber have distinct properties regarding softness, breathability and temperature regulation, impacting how you feel while sleeping.
Thread count refers to the number of threads woven per square inch; the higher the count, the smoother the sheets feel. The thread count alone, however, isn't the only quality indicator; you must also consider the kind of cotton and type of weave, determining a sheet's softness and durability.
