The Best Bed Linen to Gift Your Parents This Season
It’s the season to be jolly – and why not? With a spate of festivals coming up, from Ganesh Chaturthi to Christmas, and with other occasions like Dussehra and Padwa thrown in, what’s not to be jolly about?
This season, you might want to buy something special for your parents, but you’re all out of ideas. His and Hers watches are passe, as are holidays and furniture items for the house. So here’s our suggestion: get them something they can use every day, and get the maximum use out of. Get them new bedding for the festive season.
How do you do this? Take a cue from our handy guide:
* Bedsheets in every hue, and safe for daily use, too
Cotton bedsheets are the best gift to give your parents. They will enjoy the gift and use it daily, and think of you every time they see the bed. But not just any bedsheet will do: be sure to pick something they will like in terms of fabric, colour and pattern. Also, do pick hygrocotton bedsheets that become soft with every wash, and anti-viral bedsheets that kill infectious germs and microbes.
Start by picking the right size. They may have a double bed, or two singles joint together. You can pick accordingly from amongst double or single bedsheets online. If you’re picking a double bedsheet, ensure that you pick the right size. You can buy a Queen, King or Large/Deluxe size, based on the mattress dimensions and thickness.
Next, pick the best colours and designs. Leading bed linen companies in India have a range of colours and patterns to choose from, but do go with what your parents are most likely to prefer and the overall colour scheme of their room. You can go with geometric, ethnic, ornate, floral, plain, abstract or printed cotton bedsheets, in bold hues or even sedate ones. We recommend ethnic and ornate designs this festive season.
* Single or double comforter
Your parents will appreciate comforters for a cosy night of sleep. But do check their preferences first: do they prefer single dohars or comforters, or do they share a dohar or blanket? This preference will determine if they should be gifted with single comforters or if a double will do. Single comforters from leading brands are normally wider than the usual single blankets one is used to (the size is normally 150 cm x 220 cm). This ensures more coverage and cosier sleep. Just like with online single bedsheets, you must pick the perfect colours and patterns as per each parent’s taste. If your mum appreciates floral or abstract prints, your dad might like geometric or ethnic designs.
* New pillows and pillow covers
Complete your bedding gifts to your parents with new pillows and pillow covers to match. The pillow covers are not a problem when you gift them with double or single bedsheets because the set has matching pillow covers, too. But you can also buy separate pillow covers in matching hues to go with plain or colour blocked bedsheets your parents already own. Meanwhile, do choose pillows from a leading bed linen brand – they should not be too squashy or too firm.
Shop from the best brands
Festive shopping need not be a tiresome, hassling experience. Pick your gifting options from the best Indian bed linen brands to get superior products at the right prices, home delivered to your parents’ address right in time for festive occasions. Think of how pleased they will be on opening their presents and more so in showing them off to visitors this season!
Happy shopping 😊
