Whilst no-one might ever get to see the inside of your bedroom let alone your linen it is no reason why shouldn’t get the best on the market. quality bed linen will make sure that you are comfortable and rest peacefully when you do sleep. With so many different types of linens to choose from how do you know which is the best?

The one thing that I’m sure you already know about when it comes to bed linen is thread count. Did you know that this fact is over rated and there are other factors to consider that make thread count rather insignificant? If you had to take the fiber that is used into consideration then you would see that thread count is not a measure to use when buying sheets.

You might be wondering why I am saying this? If you consider a sheet that is made from Egyptian cotton with a thread count of 600 and one made from nylon with a thread count of 1000. the Egyptian cotton sheet is both softer and stronger. You will come across sheets that can be used without being ironed. If you are like me and do not like ironing then you might consider polycotton sheets.

Another thing to think about is the finish. This is a process that keeps the linen’s color from running when washing and keeps it relatively free from creases. It has to do with the way the material feels after it’s done. The size of the yarn or the weave will also affect the quality of the yarn. The more strands a material has then the stronger and finer the linen will be.

When you next purchase your bed linen think about these things and see whether the price matches all the above factors.
