"When selecting new sheets, focus on the fabric, weave, and overall quality,"
"Make sure the sheets fit your mattress, accounting for depth, and look for reinforced stitching for long-lasting performance."
"For warmer weather, lightweight and breathable sheets like those made with cotton percale are excellent for keeping cool. In colder months, sateen or brushed cotton offer a cosier feel,"
"Sateen is a satin weave that is usually more complex, with fibres arranged in a one-under-three-over configuration."
Select sheets based on fabric, weave, and overall construction, ensuring proper fit for mattress depth and reinforced stitching for durability. Thread count between 200 and 400 is adequate, but cotton fibre quality—particularly long-staple cotton—determines smoothness, breathability, and durability. Egyptian and Pima cotton offer longer fibres and higher quality. Percale is a plain one-over-one-under weave that yields a crisp, cool, matte finish ideal for warm weather. Sateen is a satin-like, more complex weave with a lustrous, silky feel better suited to colder months. With proper care, high-quality sheets can last five to seven years; avoid super-synthetic blends to extend lifespan.
