A long time ago when I was a child, I recall that all the canopy beds sheets in my house had to be white cotton ones. Nowadays there is a myriad of such stocked up in shops and you are actually spoiled for choice. Bedding was never so beautiful with the vibrant colours, prints and textures that are offered in bedding nowadays

Here are five steps that you can follow to purchase the ideal bedsheet for yourself.

Calculate the beds dimensions

It is a common myth that one queen bed or king bed has the same proportions which is so untrue. The top proportions might be the same, but again the measurements differ with each producer. Due to this divergence in the dimensions, it is safe to measure all the proportions and the depth of your mattress too. Often similar beds from the same brand are longer or wider than each other. When you have your beds dimensions with you, choosing a bedsheet is easier.

Determine from where to purchase

Super storehouses usually stock on branded and their own brands in one place.. For a different look, some people also go for embroidered with sequins. Another option is to shop online for the largest diversity. For those who still love their cotton fiber sheets, a discount store is where you should go.

Familiarise yourself with thread count in bedding

A thread count signifies the count of threads consisted in one square inch of a sheet in both weaving directions. The label of the bedsheet has the thread count printed on it. More the thread count, more is the richness of the fabric. Dont go for a higher thread count than preferred as the thin single threads will not feel cosy. A soft bedsheet has a thread count that lies between 175 and 250.

Pick your bed sheet material

Take care to choose a fabric that you can afford and is cozy too. Though cotton is the most preferable material, some people go for the cotton blends as they do not crease. For a warm cocoon around you, flannel is best in wintertime. For a lavish look, go for satin, silk or microfiber.

Caring directions

Ensure that you are aware of the cleaning instructions for the bed sheet beforehand. Silk sheets cannot be machine washed as they are delicate. Do you have the time for all this? The best way is to buy comfortable sheets that can be machine washed.

I Hope these six steps lead you to finding a perfect bed sheet for your bed.
