There's nothing like your haven of rest at the end of the day. Your bed and bedding have a lot to do with your overall health. Aches and pains, mood, and energy are all factors that your sleep can affect.
The good news is, making wise choices about your bedding can help. In fact, choosing the right bedding ensures that you sleep comfortably and feel relaxed. Here are some things to consider when selecting bedding for your bed.
What Are the Best Bedding Materials?
When thinking about the best bedding materials, you might be tempted to ask about thread count. Unfortunately, this is the ultimate contributor to your confusion. Believe it or not, thread count no longer indicates quality. Some companies will make higher thread count sheets with cheaper fabric. They double twist their yarn so they can claim a higher thread count.
Rather than worry about the thread count, instead consider the type of fabric. A jersey knit stretch fabric can be soft and warm while a single pick percale is crisp and cool. Here are some of your best choices:
Cotton is a high quality material but it's also the most expensive one. If you want the highest quality money can buy, choose 100% Egyptian cotton. The extra-long fibers are soft and luxurious but very durable.
You may also want to choose supima or pima cotton for medium fibers that are soft and sheen, but a bit more affordable.
