Buying Guide on Bed Linens

If you are a very style conscious person then buying bed linen can sometimes become a very tedious job as you will have to consider too many things like Which bed lien fabric is the best in terms of quality & thread count? Which color to buy? Is this fabric wrinkle free or not? Also you will have to consider the bedroom decor and its style. So you must be familiar with every aspect on how to buy bed linen. Read this handy buying guide on bed linen to unsolve your queries.

Different fabrics of Bed Linen
Fabrics of bed linen can be man-made and natural. Natural fabric consists of cotton, hemp, silk, bamboo and flax. This is also called organic and environment friendly fabric as to produce raw material for this no fertilizers and chemicals are used. The organic fabric is hypoallergic and more breathable. But bed linen made from natural fabric gets wrinkles very easily. On the other hand you can also go for the man-made fabric in which some synthetic is mixed with the natural ones. Polyester bed linen is the example of this. These bed linens are not prone to wrinkles and have resistance towards molds and mildews.

Various bed linen fabrics can be

Silk: You need something lavish and royal for your bedroom. Go for the silk bed linen. Here you can further check for the work on it. You will find embroidery, patchwork, appliqués on these silk made bed linens.
Cotton: If you really like soft bed linens then nothing better than cotton bed linens. You can either go for the Pima cotton bed linen or Egyptian cotton bed linen. Go for the bed linen that is made from 100% cotton.
Polyester: Polyester is made by blending two or more fabrics. It is also a good substitute for cotton. If you need something that dries quickly and easy to wash then go either for cotton/modal or cotton/lyocell blends.
Satin: Satin is rough from one side and very smooth and shiny from the other. So it will have both anti-slip as well as sheen quality. Quilted satin bed linen looks very elegant on the bed.
Flannel: Flannel is one such fabric that is very warm in winter and very soft to feel. SO for winter season keep flannel bed linen for your bedroom that are decorated with laces and ribbons.

Importance of Thread Count
Softness of any fabric is measured by thread count that is mentioned on the pack containing it. Thread count measures the number of threads in one square inch of the fabric. You will find bed linen from 80 to 800 and even more thread count. Generally more the thread count more the softness but bed linen with more thread count is generally less durable and really needs extra care. You can go for bed linen fabric that has thread count between 200-300.

Hypoallergic Bed Linens
If you are allergic to dust the synthetic bed linen are not meant for your. Do not buy any bed linen that has the label mentioning no ironing as the surface of these bed linens are coated with chemicals. You can buy silk of linen made bed sheets because of their natural hypoallergic tendency.

Bed Linen Color
You will find all sorts of colors in bed linen from dark, bright to natural and light shades. Depending upon your choice and taste you can go for the bed linen color. Also keep  in mind your bed room decor and color of curtains, style of pillow covers, rugs and furniture as everything must blend with each other. Do not buy every thing in loud color but do some mix and match here. Make the combination of various colors and find which one gel with each other. Like light pink and light yellow mix with each other very well.

So consider all the elements of design and style while buying bed linen. Hope this information will help you in buying a bed linen.
