Real Estate

Knowing that we spend a third of our lives in bed should help you in your decision making when it comes to good bedding. So needless to say that it is absolutely imperative that you purchase good quality sheets and a supportive mattress to sleep on.

First, bed sheets and linen will come in many grades and qualities of thread count. The higher the thread count, the more luxurious it is. The thread count is determined by how many threads per square inch are in the fabric, and the more threads will make a tighter weave.

Not to mention how much more softer and silkier the feel of the fabric. We are describing here the King of cotton, the Egyptian cotton bed sheets. You can find this luxurious fabric, which is less prone to shrinkage too, with thread counts of 300, 500 up to 600!

Its long fiber creates a silky, soft feel and is more durable and less prone to shrinkage, compared to its counterparts. You can find thread counts 300 up to 600 in luxury Egyptian bed sheets.

Next choice is Pima or Supima which is compared to the luxury of Egyptian sheets. The difference is geographical; Egyptian is just that and the cotton is grown along the Nile River in Egypt. Pima is American and is grown in the Southwest.

Next, mattress and mattress pads come in soft, firm and everything in-between and your decision will be a personal preference. Memory foam mattresses are now very popular, but keep in mind that the material holds on to your body heat, so users say it is too warm. Perhaps you might consider this if you live in a cold climate.

Your mattress will be a big decision for you because you’ll find tons of different sizes, quality and thicknesses. First determine if you want a softer mattress or firmer mattress. It’s a personal preference and you’ll want to purchase the one that will accompany the two of you. Memory foam is popular but the user will find that it is a bit warmer than most. If you are one to kick off your covers all the time, this may not be right for you.

Don’t forget about the mattress pad or cover with your mattress purchase. It will not only protect your mattress from sweat or stains, but will also prolong the life of your mattress. Also you’ll need to rotate and turn your mattress every six months to maintain the life of your mattress.

Lastly, you’ll want to consider a warm, soft blanket or comforter for those cold nights. There are tons to choose from, so which one is right for you? Perhaps a warm velour blanket is all you need. Maybe you live in a very cold climate and a high-end goose down comforter will fit the bill. They are comparable to the high-end Egyptian cotton sheets and will give you plenty of years of enjoyment.
