Until you try luxury bed linen, you will never know the difference it makes. There is nothing like a truly comfortable bed to give you the best possible night’s sleep. Luxury bed linen always looks great and can compliment the interior design of your bedroom.
If you purchase good quality bed linen it will last for much longer than other, more cheaply made products, so it’s a great investment. Additionally there are health benefits from using natural rather than synthetic fabrics, particularly for those people who suffer from allergies and other health problems such as eczema or osteoarthritis.
When choosing your bed linen, one of the most important things to look at is the thread count, which will always be listed on good quality products. It refers to the number of threads per square inch of a woven fabric. This includes the warp thread, which runs vertically, and weft thread, which runs horizontally. Generally you will find that the higher the thread count, the better quality the bed linen.
Bedroom linen is available in a variety of different fabrics, so there is certain to be one that will suit you. If you’re looking for an affordable product, cotton is the most common fabric, as it is easily available to manufacturers and highly versatile.
However, if you want better quality bed linen you should look out for cotton percale, which has a smoother finish and higher thread count. Other fabrics to look out for are chambray, which has a particularly sophisticated look, and silk which is ideal for allergy sufferers.
