Quality sleep is the key to health and well-being, and suitable bedding plays an important role in ensuring comfortable sleep.

In this article, we have collected for you some tips on choosing that very bed linen.

1. Read the label carefully.

Here the manufacturer tells about the composition of the set, the fabric from which it is made, and care recommendations.

Important: do not chase cheapness. Budget bamboo sets shrink significantly when washed even at 30 degrees.

2. Select the material

You have a wide choice: cotton, linen, silk, bamboo or synthetics. Particularly popular with customers are soft and practically wrinkle-free cotton satin and wear-resistant and economical cotton ranforce.

3. How do you feel about the cold?

The choice of underwear should also be based on your sensitivity to cold. If you are constantly cold, take a closer look at a set made of flannel or satin, and if you prefer coolness, linen is your option.

4. Double check the dimensions

Before paying for your purchase, please make sure that the sizes of the bed linen match your duvets and pillows.

5. Decide on the color scheme

The best choice is probably to go with light-colored linens, as they (most likely) won't fade after washing. If you choose a duvet cover with a bright pattern, make sure the dye fastness rating is at least 4.
