When shopping for bed sheets, important things to consider are size, style, colour and the most important is the FABRIC! The fabric of your sheets determines the quality of your sleep. Surprised? Now, you know good fabric is good sleep. 

This post, and the ones that would follow, will shed more light on different fabrics, the pros and cons. 

                                             
COTTON: 

Generally, there are three common types of cotton: regular 100% cotton, pima cotton and Egyptian cotton. When bed sheets are made of cotton, there are several noticeable advantages; 

The first and most important is easily seen in the softness of the fabric. By touch alone, shoppers can feel that cotton is much more supple and smooth to touch therefore makes it comfortable for the wearer, feels cool to touch on warm days yet will provide you warmth on chilly days.

The next advantage, being a hypoallergenic fabric, it is ideal for those prone to allergies or skin irritations.
  The third advantage comes in “breathability”. Cotton is a breathable fabric and as such, has the ability to transfer moisture away from the skin.

Disadvantages

Cotton is susceptible to sun-fade.

It is not a strong fiber; when woven to a delicate or light weight, it is considered a light-wear fabric which could easily rip and wear out.

Cotton is Expensive.

Cotton does not take to dyes as easily as synthetic fibers.

Tell us, does the pros outweigh the cons for you?

KNOW YOUR BED AND BEDDING SIZES.

If asked, what is the size of your bed;do you know? Many of us sleep on a bed without knowing the size of our bed or our bedding's. If you do, you are among the few and should scream and be glad. Let's start with our mattress.

This article is intended to help you decide what size of mattress to buy. Twin (or single) beds are usually used for children. Occasionally twin beds are available in “extra long” size. The longer length works for a taller child or teen, but is also more difficult to find this. Dorms often are furnished with XL Twin mattresses. Full, are ideal for a teen or 1 adult. Often parents will skip the twin size bed altogether and opt for a full size that can be used in case of company. Queen and King Sizes are the favorites for 2 adults. Once you find the ideal bed you will want to define your space with the perfect bedding. I hear that we spend one third of our lives sleeping (unless you’re a new mom), so you want your bedding to be comfy and cozy.
