Buying and caring for your double bed sheet and other linen
Believe it or not, the right double bed sheets, cushions and pillows and duvet you choose will all contribute to a good night’s sleep. You should choose cushion covers and double bed sheet that not only fits your budget, but also washes well, dries faster and retains colour even after several washes. This is why, in India, Bombay Dyeing Bed sheets are very popular. Not only do these sheets keep you comfortable at night because they have a high thread count and are made with breathable materials, they also last long because of the high quality material used. Even those that have intricate designs and myriad of colours last long.
We spend 1/3rd of our life in bed. So shouldn’t we choose bed linen that is more comfortable and long lasting? While your Bombay dyeing bedsheets will last long and ensure that you are comfortable, the right cushions and pillows will make the bed more comfortable and offer adequate support for your back and neck. But as easy as that may sound, there is more to buying the right bed linen than picking Bombay dyeing bed sheets with price that suits you. You need to consider the size, the thread count and the fabric as well. And this is not true only for a double bed sheet but also for cushion covers and bolster covers.
If you are choosing cotton bed sheets, remember to choose a cotton blend that is wrinkle free. While cotton is one of the most durable and breathable fabrics, it is also the most easily worn out with regular wash. It offers soft cool effect but poorer quality can result in a ‘fizz’ or pilling that can reduce fabric strength. Choose a cotton bed sheet that uses longer strands, has a high thread count and ply yarn. A single ply yarn is more durable and the thread count for this double bed sheet should be above 175 but below 300 for added comfort. Always wash your Bombay Dyeing bedsheets with a mild detergent and air dry them. Don’t use bleach or other strong cleaning agents, even if it is to remove stains.
Next are linen bedsheets. You will find many Bombay dyeing bed sheets images online for linen and though these are expensive, they are well worth the money. They are made from flaxseed and are very breathable. They might not be as soft as the cotton bed sheets you are used to, but they are more durable and more comfortable because they soften after every single wash. Never use any harsh chemicals to wash these double bed sheets and also ensure that you don’t dry them in direct sunlight.
Silk and satin sheets offer a lot of comfort and style. They are lightweight, don’t wrinkle and also are very soft against the skin. However, these are not very breathable fabrics and unless you have the air conditioner running 24X7, these double bed sheets will make you perspire profusely and that is what will make you uncomfortable.
For the Indian climate, it is best to choose linen and cotton when Bombay dyeing bed sheets online shopping. If you want to add more fabrics, like polyester, satin, silk and cotton blends, choose these fabrics for the cushion covers that adorn your bed.
The right double bed sheet will keep you comfortable all night long and ensure that you get a good night’s sleep. Add comfortable cushions and pillows for added comfort and support and you are sure to wake up refreshed.
