Top Three Things To Keep In Mind While Buying Home Linen

Every day when you wind up for the day, do you realise that your weary body is best smoothened when it reaches the bed and you are ready for a full 8 hours of sleep? This is true. Even if you may not be aware of the fact, but your bed is the most important cocoon that your body looks forward to every day to get rid of its tiredness. Also, the look of your bed decides your mood for the day. So whether you keep it tidy or whether the linen is of spunky colours, remember the subconscious captures the mood and transmits it into your day’s performance. Talking about the look and feel of your bed also involves another important factor, the quality of home linen that has been used to adorn it.

Have you noticed that buying home linen can be a tricky decision when you land up with inferior quality home linen products because of bright colours? Let us take a quick look at all the factors that you need to keep in mind while purchasing bed linen:

Fibre – 

The most important indicator of the longevity and tensile strength of the bed linen is its fibre or fabric material. In most cases, the best performance over time is given by cotton which has a soft, breathable and comfortable nature. The length, strength and fineness of the fibre are best when it is cotton. You can choose from Egyptian cotton, Pima cotton and upland cotton. Linen and bamboo fibres are also known to make great home linen products and are a favourite in the bedding category.   

Thread Type – 

Thread count is the next most important aspect in deciding upon the quality and feel of the linen. Usually, bed linen is made of thread counts ranging from 200-800, but the fabric used to make the linen also plays an important role in deciding which linen type is more comfortable. For example, according to experts of home linen stores, an Egyptian cotton bedsheet might have a thread count of 400 and be more comfortable than a polyester blend bed sheet which has a 600 thread count. Also, remember that when an 800 thread count bedding set is available for cheap rates, it is usually not the fabric that it claims to be.   

Weave- 

The different types of weaves you see in the market are Sateen weaves, Percale weaves and Standard weaves. Usually, standard weaves are most commonly available in the market. It is a great weave for cost-efficient products. Percale weave is the sturdiest of the three giving your home linen added tensile strength. Most home furnishing stores have curtains and expensive bed linen made with Percale weaves.

Conclusion 

 Keeping your bedroom beautiful could be your lifelong dream, but ensuring that you purchase the right home linen products to adorn it should be your priority because along with aesthetic beauty you also need performance and durability to help keep up the look that you initially create.
