About Bedding

 The place is your home where you spend most of your time is surprisingly the bed. All of us will spend around six hours sleep. That is one-fourth of twenty-four hours. Essentially, we are spending a quarter of our life sleeping. So, we might as well get some good quality bedding to ensure that you get sound sleep.

Studies show that people who are able to sleep well at night tend to do well in their lives. They are more energetic, can think clearly, and can make quick decisions when they have to. Although there can be many reasons for lack of sound sleep, most of which are health conditions and do require medical help, one of the reasons is a bad sleeping place. By upgrading your bedding set for you are actually investing in a brighter future where you can make more out of your waking hours. But before you start shopping for them, having a better understanding of bedding will really help. This article will tell you everything you need to know about them. 

Everything you need to know about bedding 

Good bedding is something that everybody in the world deserves. Plus it plays an important role in the health and wellness of a person.  Therefore buying bedding options demands special attention. However, it consists of various different elements. To create a comfortable bedding set, you have to get all the things right down to the smallest detail. The first step towards that is getting to know about the elements of bedding. Because their world is vast and vivid, there is quite a bit to learn. This article will walk you through all the different basic elements of them and will tell you how to shop for them.

Sheets, blankets and pillowcases 

People are confused about when to look for good bed linen. Most people go for sheets and blankets with the highest number of thread count. But sometimes, the thread count can be misleading. Some manufacturers use double or triple ply to inflate the number of threads. But that number is not worth it. Instead, you should look for sheets with the highest thread count within a single ply. Furthermore, there is more to a good sheet than just the thread count. If you are looking for a fitted sheet, make sure that it has enough depth to accommodate the mattress. When selecting blankets, look for lightweight ones, unless you specifically want weighted blankets. 

Mattress covers, quilts, and duvets 

These things cover your bedding when you are not lying on it. Because quilts and duvets will be covering the bed during most of your waking hours, try to choose a set that also looks good. This will impact the aesthetics of your bedroom and when rightly done, can turn into a statement piece in the room. You can use them to dress up your bedding. One thing to consider when you are buying is to make sure that the duvet insert is free of allergens. It will be easy to wash and store the duvets if it is lightweight. You can also choose multiple duvets with inserts that are appropriate for the season.  

Pillows and shams 

A pillow can be much more than something to support your head. A good pillow can add depth to your bedding and make it look more majestic. The most important aspect of a pillow is the pillow file. It should be fluffy and soft but should support the weight of the head and should not feel like cotton candy. Luxury pillows use natural fillings like duck feathers and downs. While these are super comfy, they can cause allergies in some people. If you are allergic to feathers, you can look for pillows that use synthetic materials like microfibre filling that can provide the same comfort of feathers.  

Mattresses  

When it comes to a bedding set, the mattress that you use will have the final say on how comfortable your sleep is going to be. A good quality mattress should have a system of coils that can reduce the transfer of weight and movements. Having a mesh border around the mattress will help it to breath and prevents the formation of moulds inside the bedding. Make sure the mattress pads have enough cushioning. It should be able to adapt to the water and maintain a relatively normal temperature even if it is winter or summer.

Tips on how to buy Bedding

Contrary to what many people think, colour is not the primary criteria to look for in a bedding set. Even the design of the bedding is not the most important thing. While it is true that colour and design also matter, the comfort and longevity of a bedding set do not depend on that. But that doesn’t mean choosing a good bedding set is like rocket science. If you know the things to look for in good bedding, choosing one is really easy. Here are a few tips that you can follow when you shop for beddings.

  • Thread count – This is the number of threads in bed linen in a square inch of area. So, why is this important? Well, if the number of threads in a given area is more, it means the threads are finer, and therefore the linen will be softer. Most manufacturers flaunt their thread count on the packaging as a sign of quality.
  • Choose the right duvet – First thing to look for in a duvet is the tog rating. The tog rating will tell you how warm the duvet will be. So, you will need a couple of different duvets for different seasons. A duvet for summer should have a tog rating between 2.5 and 4.5. But for winter, it should be at least 12 to ensure a comfortable sleep.
  • Choosing the bedsheet – Most common material for bed sheets are natural. These include cotton, linen, silk, etc. All of these are good enough as they are breathable and allow your body to maintain a comfortable temperature. Indian and Egyptian cotton are the most coveted material for bed sheets.
  • The cost – While having the best type of bedding is great, you should also consider the cost of them. You should get the best type of bedding that your budget allows without breaking your wallet. You will find a lot of good quality bedding on Shops.ae if you look for beddings for sale online. That way you can buy bedding for cheap.

Finally, try to match colours wisely. Being probably the largest object in your room, the colours that you put on your bedding will affect the appearance of the room. Try to mix and match the colours of the various elements of the beddings. You can stick to a single colour palette to make everything look good. Apart from that, don’t forget to check out other products from Home & Living. Use our product search engine to look for all the products that you need on the website. That way you can compare the prices and features of different products and find the best among them.

Question & Answer

What are the different types of pillows?

Apart from the regular pillows, which are for supporting your head, there are decorative pillows as well. Depending on the shape, each of them has a different name. Most common types of decorative pillows are Euro, throw pillow, bolster and lumbar pillow. You can use these pillows to add a finishing touch to your bedding. But you might run into a problem when you change the bedsheet and duvet. The pillows might not necessarily match with all your sheets, duvets, and quilts. If that is the case, you can use shams to match the decorative pillows with the new bedding.

What is the best material for bed sheets?

Choosing a comfortable material is imperative to ensure that you get a good night’s sleep. A poor-quality bed sheet might not fit the mattress perfectly. Or in the worst case, it might cause you allergies and might wake you up in the middle of the night. Also, take the climate into consideration when you are shopping for sheets. Cotton sheets are very breathable and therefore are perfect for hot climates. If you want to add a bit of sheen on the sheets, go for sateen cotton. And for summertime, oxford sheets are a great choice.

Do you need a bed skirt?

The purpose of a bed skirt is to cover the box spring. At first, it will look like an oversized bed sheet that is flowing over to the floor. These are useful to hide the things that you store under the bed and to hide the legs and parts of the box spring. Another benefit of the bed skirt is that they do not allow the formation of dust bunnies under the bed. A bed skirt was a staple part of traditional home decoration. Though it might not have much functional aspect to it, there is no doubt that they will make your bedroom look cleaner and more beautiful.
