How to choose the right bedding set for you

Bedding sets can include your bed sheets, bed blankets or bed comforters, mattress covers, duvet covers, cushions, pillows, and more. There are a lot of accessories you can add to your bed to make it as comfortable as possible. Before you buy any of these as a part of your bedding set, you need to keep the following points under consideration.

The size of your mattress matters

The first thing you need to make sure when you are selecting your bed sheets is the size of your mattress. It’s not always about the length and the width. You might have a queen size mattress for your bed, but the height of the mattress might be more than the standard size. So buying a queen size bed sheet may not fit your bed sheet. So keep the measurements of your mattress in mind before you buy your fluffy bed sheets.

Thread count isn’t everything

The material of your fluffy bed sheets is what is more important than the thread count. There are a lot of cotton blends available in the market with higher thread counts, but they don’t guarantee the softness and comfort that you get from a truly fluffy bed sheet. Check and see if your bed sheets are made of cotton, the closer to 100% the better, before you get into checking the thread count. 

Check the weave of your bed sheet

There are different weaves that you can get for your bedding that come with different levels of softness. The weaves don’t affect the quality of the sheet, so you can choose how soft you want them to be based on your preference. The most popular bedding weave is the sateen weave which is softer, and the second one is the percale weave which is more grid-like and feels more crisp.

Choosing the right bed comforters

The second aspect of your bed blanket set are the bed blankets. You have to choose the right bed sheet set with a comforter to have the cosiest slumber. So what exactly are bed comforters and how are they different from bed blankets?

A bed blanket is a single layer of fabric made out of thicker material to provide heat and insulation. Blankets can be made out of a variety of materials like cotton, wool, cashmere, and more. A bed comforter is typically two layers of fabric with stuffing in between sewn together to provide heat and comfort. Depending upon the type and density of the filling between layers, comforters can be used either only in the winters, or throughout the year.

Choosing between a blanket and a comforter is really a matter of preference. Comforters trap more heat because of the layers, so they are more ideal for winters. When it comes to blankets, the amount of heat and insulation they provide depends on the material they are made out of.

The size of the bed comforters or bed blankets matter

You can choose the size of the comforter based on two aspects. Is it going to be just you that uses the comforter or are you going to be sharing it with someone? If you are more than one person on a single bed, then you should look at buying comforter sets for king size in India. If you’re the only one using it, a single bed or queen size comforter is enough. The second aspect of choosing the right comforter is the material. The material will affect the cleaning process of the comforter and the level of warmth you get as well. Choose your material based on the climate in your region, as well as how easy you want it to be to clean.

What is a mattress protector and do you need one?

Mattresses are an expensive buy. You can always change your bed sheets and duvets but a good mattress is a long term investment that needs to be protected. That’s why you have mattress protectors. Also known as a mattress cover, it is a thin layer that is kind of like a fitted sheet that you put on your mattress before you put on your bedding. It acts as a layer of protection against spills, dirt, and more. 

So if you want to ensure your mattress’s longevity and hygiene, then you should ideally invest in a mattress protector. 

What to look for in a mattress protector

There are some basic qualities that every mattress protector should possess, which are:

• Cleaning process: A good mattress protector should be easy to clean. All you have to do is throw it in the washing machine, and voila! It’s as good as new.
• Waterproofing: Since the primary reason why people invest in a mattress cover is to protect your mattress from spills, you should make sure that the mattress protector you buy is waterproof or at least highly water resistant.
• Breathability: You still want to be comfortable in your bed even if you have a mattress protector on. Make sure it is made out of a breathable fabric so that you don’t feel uncomfortable or overheated when you’re in bed.
• Adequate for your skin type: Different people have different sensitivities, which is why it is important to choose a material that suits your skin type. You also don’t want it to make squeaky noises, feel rough against your skin, or give you rashes. So choose the material carefully based on what your skin needs.
