What to consider when buying bedsheets and fabrics
Buying bedsheets involves weighing material types and blends. Prioritize 100 percent cotton such as Egyptian or Pima for comfort. avoid high polyester content beyond 3 percent to prevent heat retention and reduced softness. Consider weave like percale for crisp coolness or sateen for smoothness, plus mattress size fit to prevent slipping.
