our bed is a place to feel cosy and relaxed so that you can get good quality sleep every night and taking the time to choose the best mattress and bedding for you means you can benefit from a comfortable sleep environment each night. Your bedding plays an important role when it comes to feeling cosy, whether you’re looking for the best pillows for neck pain or bedding that feels luxurious. Read on as we take a closer look at how to find the right bedding for your home.  

Check the size 

Whilst there are many factors that you’re going to have to think about when it comes to choosing the right bedding for your home, first you’ll have to check the size. This may seem obvious, but it can get confusing with such a range of mattresses to choose from. Generally, you can simply follow the rule of buying sheets in line with the size of your mattress. However, if you’re looking for additional comfort, some people tend to size up. So, if you have a double bed, choose sheets that are made to suit a king-sized bed to create the ultimate cosy sleep environment – it also makes it easier to change your bedding too! No more wrestling with your fitted sheet. 

Think about materials 

Once you’ve decided on the size that you need, it’s time to look at various types of materials you could choose for your sheets. Here are some of the most popular that you’re likely to find on the market. 

• Linen: Using linen sheets comes with a whole range of benefits. It’s hypoallergenic, so you don’t have to worry about waking up with the sniffles if you’re sensitive to dust and dander, it’s breathable which is great in the summer or if you sleep warm, and if you’re going for a more rustic look, this material is a low maintenance option when it comes to bedding.

• Cotton: This type of bedding is all-natural. Cotton is incredibly soft and can create a comfortable sleep environment for you. It is durable and can withstand washing and is canep you cool on the warmest nights.

• Linen/cotton mix: The best of both worlds if you’re looking for bedding that is both soft, durable, and breathable.

Thread count 

You may have heard about thread count – but do you know how it makes a difference to the bedding that you choose? Generally, this term only refers to cotton fabric, so if you’re going for linen then you don’t have to worry about this. Thread count refers to the number of threads featured per square inch of fabric – the higher the count, the softer and more deluxe your fabric will feel. If you’re looking for bedding that can enhance your quality of sleep, as well as comfort, choosing bedding with a higher thread count could be advantageous. 

Choose a style 

Your bedding has to look good, as well as feel good, which is why choosing the perfect style is just as important as the previous points we’ve looked at. Thankfully, there is a huge range of styles to choose from depending on your aesthetic. Maybe you’d prefer plain-coloured bedding as a contrast to the colour scheme in the room, or maybe you’re looking to introduce a pattern into the room with your sheets – there is something to suit everyone. You’ll also have to think about your style of fastening, do you prefer the buttoned-up look or something simpler like popper fastenings? There is a style to suit all homes and preferences, you just have to do a bit of research.
