Aussies love a good night’s kip, and that’s why choosing the right bed sheets is crucial for getting a comfortable night’s sleep. With so many different options available, it can be overwhelming to figure out what type of bed sheets will work best for you.

In this blog, we’ll give you the rundown on the different fabrics, thread counts, and weaves so you can make an informed decision when it comes to choosing your bed linens. After all, your comfort and satisfaction are at the heart of everything we do here at Bedding Republic.

Fabric Matters:

Fabric with a poetic tone: Cotton is a classic option that’s soft, durable, and easy to care for. The most popular types of cotton bed sheets are Egyptian, Pima, and Supima cotton.

Linen: A more premium option that’s breathable, durable, and has a unique texture. Linen bed sheets are a bit pricey, but they’ll last you a long time.

Synthetic Blend: A budget-friendly option that’s low-maintenance and quick-drying. However, polyester bed sheets aren’t as breathable as cotton or linen, so they may not be as comfortable during hot summer nights.

Silk: A luxurious option that’s soft, hypoallergenic, and good for sensitive skin. Silk bed sheets are a bit pricey, but they’re worth it if you’re after a premium experience.

Thread Count:

The thread count of a bed sheet refers to the number of threads woven into one square inch of fabric. The higher the thread count, the softer and more durable the bed sheets will be. However, it’s important to keep in mind that a high thread count doesn’t always equate to high quality. Some manufacturers artificially inflate the thread count by using thin or twisted threads. A good rule of thumb is to look for bed sheets with a thread count between 200 and 800.

Weave

The weave of a bed sheet refers to the way the threads are woven together, and it has a big impact on the feel and texture of the bed sheets. Here are the most common weaves:

Percale: If you prefer a crisp and cool feel, percale bed sheets are a great option. They have a matte finish and are perfect for hot summer nights.

Sateen: If you’re looking for a luxurious feel, sateen bed sheets are a great choice. Soft and silky, with a glossy finish, these bed sheets are perfect for cooler months.

Flannel: For a warm and cozy feel, flannel bed sheets are the way to go. With a napped surface, they’re perfect for those chilly winter nights.

Having the right set of bedsheet holds a great significance as it has a direct impact on your sleep. Treat yourself with a right set of bedsheets and provide yourself with a night of peaceful sleep.

 

At Bedding Republic, we understand that choosing the right bed sheets is a personal decision. That’s why we’re committed to offering a wide range of options so you can find the perfect bed linens for your unique needs and preferences. Whether you prefer cotton or polycotton we’re here to help you make the best choice for your best night’s sleep. So go ahead and make your choice, and sweet dreams!

Do you often get frustrated when you are stuck in a befuddled state between two options? Your strings of thoughts are jumbled, in such a way that, you find it hard to choose one. Similarly, when we are shopping for bedding accessories, we often find ourselves in the respective state. It is due to the variety available. Different fabrics possess different qualities, and some have such awe-inspiring properties that you cannot just let go of easily.

Nowadays, we are more focused on buying eco-friendly goods, due to the given condition of Earth. Adopting a sustainable lifestyle is a fine choice to make in today’s era. However, as we pursue it further, we are back again in a state of confusion about what to buy, when it comes to bedding. The two eco-friendly bedding materials Eucalyptus and Bamboo are often the reason behind your befuddled state.

Nevertheless, you do not need to worry as Bedding Republic is here as your savior and a guide to help you make the decision. Let us have a look at what both holds:

“Elucidation”

Before we proceed with the qualities that each possesses, let us understand what they are:

Eucalyptus

Understanding how eucalyptus sheets are made is not a difficult task. It is because you can find the answer in its name. Can you guess it? Most of you must have. The raw material comes from the eucalyptus tree. It is recognized for the numerous benefits it brings in terms of health. With that, its leaves carry a great significance as the oil from it can heal wounds and treat cough.

However, the material for the sheet comes from wood. The pulp from the wood is extracted and spun with chemicals. With this, the fabric comes to life. The manufacturing process is done following the closed-loop process, saving the environment from hurting. The fabric has a silk texture.

Bamboo

Similar to Eucalyptus, Bamboo is eco-friendly. It requires less water and even less than cotton to grow. Do you know that the bamboo plant is known as the fastest growing plant? Moreover, to turn it into the fabric, Bamboo is treated with certain chemicals including sodium hydroxide. After the chemical treatment is completed, Bamboo is woven into fabric.

With that, some manufacturers who are concerned about the environment assures that the manufacturing process is completed under a closed-loop system. However, the manufacturers who do not follow the guidelines of the respective system, waste heavily. Therefore, it indicates that Eucalyptus is in the lead.

“Who Wins The Title Of Hypoallergenic”

You might have heard the saying, ‘health is wealth’. Your health should be your priority. Therefore, it should not be compromised at any cost. You must be wondering how our health is linked with bedsheets? Well, it has a direct link with it. Bedsheets that trap air and have absorption properties will make your sleep a nightmare.

Do you often toss and turn over? or do you find yourself itchy when you wake up? It is because your bedsheet lacks breathability, and thus, you find yourselves in such a state. Therefore, it is significant to sleep on the right bed sheets. Are you thinking, which out of Bamboo and Eucalyptus hold such quality?

Well, both are stationed at the same levels as both possess the qualities of being breathable and hypoallergenic.

“Durability & Maintenance”

Do you know how significant it is for a fabric to be durable? It is because it not only saves your wallet but provides you with comfort for a long period. In the race for durability, both Bamboo and Eucalyptus will last as long as you want them to. It is a one-time investment that does not rip your wallet like the other fabrics that wear out quickly.

Moreover, when it comes to, caring for the fabric, we all demand hassle-free maintenance. With our busy lifestyle, it is difficult, to keep up with house chores. Let us see, which fabric, is easy to care for:

  • Bamboo:

When it comes to laundry, throw your Bamboo sheets in your washing machine at a gentle cycle. They are required to be washed in cold water and separately. You must be wondering whether it possesses a wrinkle-resistant quality? Well, bamboo sheets are known for wrinkles. You can remove wrinkles with ironing, but it requires time and effort. Therefore, Bamboo here loses a point.

  • Eucalyptus:

Washing Eucalyptus sheets is similar to washing Bamboo sheets. The main question that must be attached to your strings of thoughts is whether eucalyptus sheets take off the load by being wrinkle-resistant? Eucalyptus sheets are not wrinkle-resistant but tend to carry fewer wrinkles, which do not appear as bad as on a bamboo sheet. The wrinkles on the sheets are bearable. Therefore, eucalyptus sheets win a point here.

“Who Takes The Label Of Cool-Sleeping Fabric”

It is significant for the sheet to be soft to provide you with a comfortable sleeping experience. If you are a hot sleeper struggling to find the right fabric, Bamboo and Eucalyptus, come as your savior.

Both of these fabrics have temperature regulating properties, thus, it keeps your body temperature to what is required. You must be wondering which out of both is better? Well, it is believed that both possess the same cooling properties. However, some say that Eucalyptus is much better than Bamboo.

Which Is Better?

Well, it depends on what your taste and preferences. You have all the information available. Therefore, whatever suits you best, buy that. Happy Shopping!

So, which one will you choose?

Are you on a hunt to find the sheets that tick off all the qualities of your checklist? Well, here we are to lower your burden by showing you a gateway towards the most commonly preferred fabrics sateen and percale. We all long for a good night’s sleep after a hectic day. With our busy schedules, it is difficult for us to complete the hunt. This article is here to provide you with a  closer look at what both fabrics possess in order for you to make a decision on what to buy.

Do you know that percale and sateen both themselves are a weave? You must be awe-struck by this information. It indicates that different materials are used in manufacturing percale and sateen sheets including cotton, polyester, rayon, and others.

It is significant to know what qualities they possess. Do you know why? It is your sleep that is at risk. For a restful sleep, it is significant for you to know about the sheets that are spread on your bed. Let us compare both and see which can enhance your sleep:

“Abridgement”

You must be thinking that both the sheets belong to the same class of fabric, so how come they do not possess the same properties? To answer this, let us have a look at the overview of what sateen and percale sheets are.

SATEEN

The fabric is a statement of its own. Sateen possesses the quality of having a subtle shine and a smooth look. The style of weaving is different from others. It indicates that one yarn under, three yarns over the weave. The manufacturing process is what makes the sheets heavier yet comfortable and classy.

PERCALE

The crispiness that the respective fabric carries is due to one yarn under, one yarn over the weave. It is what makes percale soft and smooth. The thread count of percale lies around 200.

“The Title Of Durability”

Both sateen and percale have some awe-inspiring qualities, but they vary in some. Durability is one aspect that we all look for when buying bed linens. It assures that the quality will not be worn out easily, rather it will stay the same and benefit the same for a longer period.

Sateen sheets are considered somewhat durable. They are inclined to pill. Thus, washing them frequently can ruin the sheet. They require high maintenance for them to last long. The shine may even fade away with time.

Upset? why sateen sheets are not durable? Well, do not worry as percale sheets are more durable in comparison. The more these sheets are washed the softer they get. Therefore, it is useful for a longer period as it continues to provide comfort till it lasts.

“Popularity”

Every fabric is popular for one or the other reason in providing us with a benefit that they lead-in. Both sateen and percale sheets are popular for their usefulness in their respective areas.

Do you suffer from skin allergies? Sateen sheets are highly preferred for people with sensitive skin. Different sheets made of different fibers tend to spark up the skin allergies, thus, the sateen sheet comes as a savior. The smoothness it carries is skin-friendly and helps people with skin issues to have a restful sleep.

Percale, on the other hand, is known for its crispness. The fabric itself is very light and breathable. Therefore, the qualities it has been exceptional and is an indication of providing you a good night’s sleep.

“Who Is More Prone To Heat?

Most of us look for a fabric for our bed linens that possess temperature regulating properties. It is significant for a sheet to have the respective quality to provide a smooth and sound sleeping experience. It helps in regulating the body’s temperature following what is required.

Percale sheets come with good news for us. It possesses temperature regulating quality. It can be used in all seasons. It will help in regulating your body temperature by not turning us into a sweatbox in summers and a cool bank in winters.

What about the sateen sheet? Well, if not all season, they can benefit us specifically in this period as we are moving towards winters. The weave is not as breathable as percale is and might turn us into a sweatbox in summers. It is more prone to heat due to its absorption quality. Therefore, it is better to opt for sateen sheets at this time of the season.

“Maintenance”

With our busy schedules, it is difficult for us to manage things that require high maintenance. Some fabrics require to be washed frequently, while others lend a helping hand by not disturbing us every other day. Who wins the title for giving us the relaxation?

Sateen sheets are easily manageable as they do not require us to wash them by hand, rather they can be easily machine washed. The only concern while washing them would be to use a mild detergent and set the machine at gentle. It saves the hassle of drying them as they can be easily dried in the machine.

Do percale sheets give a similar benefit? Well, percale sheets can be machine washed but since they are not wrinkle resistant as sateen sheets are. It will require a hassle as it requires to be ironed before spreading it on the bed to maintain its crispness.

Which Is Better?

It is hard to answer this as it completely depends on your preference. An interesting aspect is that both sheets come with the same price tag. Therefore, the only way you can choose is by weighing the qualities that each of them possesses. If you are a fan of silky textures, sateen is the call you need to make. On the other hand, if you become a sweatbox at night, percale will be your savior.

Both of the fabrics possess qualities that they are known for relish from a comfortable sleeping experience. So, what choice will you make?

After this, use regular detergent for a softer feel.
  • Instructions for machine-washing: Always place your sheets into the washing machine without other items. Sheets launder better when there is plenty of room in the machine. Only pillowcases can be washed with sheets and other bed linen should be washed separately. Avoid washing them with towels as it will end up having lint balls all over the sheets. Use lukewarm water to properly clean your sheets and opt for a mild detergent. You should avoid excessive detergent if you want to prevent your sheets from wearing down.
  • Drying and storing: The secret to successfully drying your sheets at home is to remove them from the washing machine promptly to avoid excessive drying and wrinkling. Hang your sheets on a clothesline to air dry and secure them by using clothespins. After air drying, a quick tumble in the dryer can enhance the softness of your sheets before use. Stack your folded sheets and matching pillowcases together and store them at a dry place or in cotton storage boxes.

Are you getting proper sleep? How comfortable are your bedding and the fabrics you sleep with? For a restful sleep, we need to be very comfortable in our sleeping space. Good bedding and the right fabric are pre-eminent factors for providing warmth, comfort, and insulation for a comfortable sleep. Good quality bed linen maintains thermal comfort in terms of moisture and heat transfer between the skin and the environment. So, only the right fabric can cater to your body and your environment, however wrong fabric can ruin the quality of your sleep.

IMPORTANCE OF COMFORTABLE SLEEP

A comfortable sleep is exceptionally important for your health just like taking a healthy diet and exercising. We should take 6 to 7 hours of sleep every night to improve the health and overall well-being. A comfortable sleep space can help you get proper sleep without any hindrance. When you sleep well, you wake up refreshed and energetic so you do things actively and stay productive all day long. However, sleep loss directly affects your body’s ability to store energy and can influence your health. Taking good sleep helps in keeping your heart healthy, as lack of sleep can worsen the blood pressure and cholesterol level that increases the risk of stroke and heart attacks. When you sleep peacefully, it helps to boost your immune system as your body gets time to restore and regenerate. Taking a restful sleep can help in reducing stress and improving your mood hence can uplift your daily lifestyle.

BENEFITS OF NAPPING INTO SLEEP FRIENDLY FABRIC

When you’re tired or need a quick nap, what’s better than falling into a soft, crisp cotton sheet wrapped with a cozy and comfortable quilt that makes you fall asleep quickly. Sleeping into sleep-friendly fabric can enhance the comfort of your sleep and help in regenerating peace of your mind. Your bed becomes softer and more comfortable with a cotton or linen bed sheet. Cotton and linen have natural temperature regulation properties that keep you cool in summers and warm in winters, so your sleep doesn’t get disturbed by overheating or perspiration. The good quality fabric of your sheets, pillows, and quilt cover can have good moisture-wicking properties that can result in clean and unhindered sleep. The hydrating and breathable fibers of your bedding fabric can provide you with a comfortable sleeping environment that when you wake up, you feel so refreshed and revitalized.

CHOOSING THE RIGHT FABRIC

Four in every ten Australians are experiencing inadequate sleep and wrong fabric choice for the bedding can be one of the reasons for insufficient sleep. As the bedding you chose can either increase or decrease the quality and comfort of your sleep. It is always suggested to choose lightweight and breathable fabrics for bedding for exceptionally comfortable sleep. If you choose synthetic materials like polyester it can prohibit air circulation and it does not regulate the temperature of your body when you sleep. Good quality cotton sheets and quilt covers are more comfortable and breathable which allows your body to self-regulate the temperature that leads to a restful sleep experience. The unique ventilating and moisture-absorbing capabilities of linen make it a good fabric choice. So spice up your sleeping space with the right fabrics to elevate your sleeping experience.

TYPES OF FABRIC THAT OFFER LUXURY SLEEPING EXPERIENCE

An ordinary human spends one-third of their life in bed, so investing in quality bedding makes sense as it can improve the comfort of sleep space and the quality of your lifestyle. Quality bedding means choosing the right fabric that can offer a luxury sleeping experience. Cotton is an ideal fabric choice for bedding as it is very lightweight, breathable, soft, easily washable, durable. Egyptian cotton with 200-300 thread count is the most luxurious and softest cotton for bed sheets and quilt cover sets. Pima cotton is yet another superior cotton fabric in terms of softness and quality. The long fibers of the fabric increase the comfort, and the sateen finish offers such softness that the moment you snuggle in bed, you fall asleep quickly. Luxury linen sheets offer such a comfortable and smooth feel because of the intricate woven structure of its fabric. Silk is yet another luxury material as it is incredibly smooth, soft, and strong along with its good temperature-regulating and moisture-wicking properties.

So the right fabric choice for bedding can improve your sleep quality, but you don’t need to spend your time searching for the right fabric for your bedding as Bedding Republic offers a range of bedding products integrated with excellent and reliable fabrics to provide you with comfortable sleeping experience. Sweet Dreams!

Have you ever tried to figure out that despite having a healthy lifestyle, good diet, and balanced atmosphere of sleep space, why are you not getting a sound sleep and waking up restless and dazed? You can have so many things to blame for this but if you observe closely, your bed linens can be a major reason for a night of poor sleep as your bedding can contribute significantly to a good night’s sleep. For a comfortable sleep, the quality of your bed linens can be very important and if you don’t choose the right bedding, you might be compromising on your restful sleep.

The quality of your bedsheets can notably make a huge difference for your comfortable and relaxing sleep because when you sleep well, you feel good and it can improve your lifestyle significantly. On the contrary, a sleep-deprived person can find it difficult to maintain a healthy lifestyle having low energy, poor immunity, and reduced performance intensity. The comfort of fabric used for bed sheets can be a huge contributor to your quality of sleep. So choosing good quality bedsheets can help in getting adequate sleep and maintaining a healthy lifestyle with increased productivity and concentration.

Picking the right material:

Our body tends to release heat when we sleep and we sleep better when we are cooler. The bedsheets that are made of synthetic materials can trap heat leading to restlessness and troubled sleep. It is important to choose the right material for your bedsheets like good quality cotton sheets that don’t trap heat and help in feeling cool and comfortable while sleeping. On hot summer nights, the perspiration is increased due to hot temperatures so it is necessary to choose a bedsheet made of Egyptian cotton, Sateen finished cotton, Bamboo cotton as they are breathable, soft, and cool. These bedsheets have a thread count between 200 to 400 that can make you feel cool, relaxed, and comfortable for unhindered sleep. On the contrary, when temperatures are low, moisture-wicking cotton bedsheets with a thread count above 400 can trap the warmth helping you stay warm and cozy for quality sleep.

Choosing the right color:

The aesthetics of the bedroom can be very important in creating a comfortable sleep space. Choosing the right colors of your bedding can promote sleep and make you feel good. Subconsciously, different colors excite us and enlighten our moods. White, blue, grays, silver, and warm colors of bedding can create a relaxing and soothing sleep space. White bedsheets can add sophisticated simplicity besides brightening the room. Surprisingly, the receptor cells in our eyes are sensitive to blues and upon stimulation, these cells send signals to the brain that it’s bedtime. Eventually, our brain reduces heart rate and blood pressure relaxing a person for deep sleep. Silvers and grays mimicking the moonlight can calm the body and lessen the reflection of light in the room. In essence, the warm colors of bedsheets can put us in a relaxing mood by creating a cozy and soothing look in our sleep space.

Doing the right maintenance:

Fresh bedding can promote sleep and make you feel relaxed. Bedsheets can accumulate dirt, body oils, sweat, and dead skin cells that can lead to skin breakouts, allergies, asthma, and infections. So the bedsheets should be washed frequently and it is suggested to launder them every seven to ten days. For laundering the bedsheets, one should be mindful of choosing the kind of detergent as some people are sensitive to perfumes and dyes in detergents. These perfumes and dyes can result in skin irritation or respiratory allergies that could interfere with quality sleep. Moreover, frequent washings can result in creating spots damaging the sheets that are uncomfortable to sleep on. So the bed linens should be washed after reading the product label and following the care instructions like hot water can fade colors and can be very harsh on the fine threads of your sheets.

So, choosing the right fabric, soothing colors of bedding along the right maintenance can help in creating a luxurious and comfortable sleep space. It is essential to invest in good bedding to ensure sound sleep and a healthy lifestyle. To learn more about bedding products, visit https://beddingrepublic.com.au/ where comfort comes with luxury.
