What a sheet-y day!
After a long day of running around and dealing with the daily grind all you think about is slipping in between your bed sheets to drift off into a well-earned sleep. Your sheets are your best friend on a fall or winter night. When you crawl into your comfy bed and pull nice clean sheets over your head you can finally smile because the day is over and you can rest.
What are you sleeping on though? Cotton? Jersey? Microfiber? Are you completely satisfied with the feel of your sheets? Now we don’t think one is necessarily better than the other; because it depends on the person using them and the value they associate with the sheets they buy. Basically what we are saying is that it depends on what you find important when looking for sheets.
Jersey sheets are extremely comfortable because they are made from a type of cotton much like that of a tee shirt so they have the feel of your favorite worn out tee. However, since they are made of such fabric, they are also susceptible to shrinking and are therefore supposed to be washed in cold water. However, hot water is recommended when washing sheets to kill all the germs accumulated from sleeping in them every day. If comfort is your only concern then Jersey sheets are an affordable way to do this. Yet, if you have allergies or highly value hygiene, then you may want to choose a different route.
Egyptian cotton has long thin strands, which keeps is woven tightly, and have a higher thread count so they are generally softer. These sheets, although expensive, are said to be the best type of cotton sheet due to its softness and durability. If money is not the concern for you and you want extremely soft sheets, then opt to Egyptian cotton and you will be satisfied.
Microfiber is another very good choice, especially if you are sensitive to dust and have allergies. Microfiber is made from a synthetic material that is high quality and made to feel like Egyptian cotton. The fiber is woven in a way that prevents dust and debris from building up in between the fibers of sheets. This is common in cotton sheets and is why people with allergies use microfiber. It is also not as expensive as Egyptian cotton; making it a very good choice for whatever you are looking for.
Peace. Love. Sleep!
