How to choose bed linen: every second housewife makes mistakes
The shop windows feature the most fashionable and exclusive models, which buyers are sure to pay attention to. But beautiful packaging is not always a guarantee of quality goods.
Therefore, when buying bed linen, you need to be extremely careful and be sure to take into account the quality of the fabric.
First, you need to decide on the size of the pillow and blanket (duvet cover).
Depending on the size of the bed, they are: single, one-and-a-half and double.
For residents of the CIS countries, pillows with dimensions of 50 by 70 cm have become popular. For different countries of Europe and the world, these sizes may differ from each other. You should also pay attention to this when buying linen.
From one material, using different technologies, the manufacturer can obtain different fabrics.
In order for bed linen to be durable and serve for many years, it is necessary to make the interweaving of threads more dense. For excellent quality fabrics, this figure is 500 interweavings per square centimeter.
For simple fabrics, a weave of 60 is sufficient. High-quality bed linen will last for many years and will not lose its attractive appearance even after a large number of washes.
If the buyer prefers to dream on bed linen with colorful prints, it is necessary to be especially careful when purchasing such linen.
It is quite difficult to determine in the store how the colors will be preserved after washing. But there are several simple ways. First, you can compare the degree of coloring of the front and back sides.
If the difference is obvious, then most likely such bed linen will shed a lot and may even ruin the mattress.
