What are the best materials for sheets?
If you’re on the hunt for a new set of bedding and aren’t sure which option is best for you, the first thing to consider is what you’re looking to get out of your sheets. If you’re a hot sleeper, materials like bamboo, linen, or percale cotton may be right for you. If you run cooler, sateen cotton is a more dense weave that can keep you toasty all night long.
How should I care for my luxury sheets?
Depending on the materials and weave of your bedding, you may have to care for them a little differently. Cotton is one of the easiest and most durable fabrics, and can often be machine-washed with no worries. Materials like silk and linen may have specific instructions that will help you get the more out of your set. It’s important to read the care instructions carefully before washing.
Why are luxury sheets expensive?
Sheets get a lot of wear and tear, from frequent washes, sweat, and daily use. Higher quality bedding may cost more at first, but options that hold up well over time may end up costing less, since they won’t require frequent replacements. Some of these sets can last an entire lifetime. What’s more, paying skilled artisans, sourcing organic materials, and hand-stitching sheets can all contribute to the cost.
