Look for a thread count of at least 400 for better quality satin sheets, but do remember they are one of the more fragile options, and some are even dry clean only.

Fitted sheets have an elastic to wrap around the mattress and prevent it from moving too much while you sleep. While these sheets protect your mattress from body oils, spills, and other things, using a mattress protector underneath your fitted sheet is a good idea for extra protection. Flat sheets lay on top of fitted sheets to protect your duvet or comforter from body oils and tearing. Not everyone uses these, but we recommend doing so. 

'Sateen is thicker in nature which makes it a great option for the colder months,' says Aja Tilghman, division merchandise manager, Lulu & Georgia. 'Through a more intricate weaving technique, sateen provides both an extra soft feel and has the ability to better trap heat, making sure you stay warm on those chilly nights.'

Black Bedding

Coverlet
A coverlet is a bedcovering with sides that hang down a few inches past the box spring, but don’t touch the floor. A coverlet can be tucked in or left untucked if edged with decorative trim. Luxury coverlets can be layered directly over a flat sheet or over a blanket. It may sometimes resemble a quilt, but unlike a quilt, which is comprised of several layers, a coverlet is just one layer of fabric woven in such a way that mimics the quilting technique. 

You may therefore want to choose a neutral colour palette for your bedding that will match any bedroom style. Colours which clash or are overly busy can irritate and cause vision fatigue.

 One of the most important aspects of hotel sheets is the thread count.  This refers to the number of threads woven into one square inch of fabric.  Generally speaking, the higher the thread count, the softer and more durable the sheet.  Hotel sheets typically have a thread count of 300 to 1,000 thread count, ensuring a smooth, luxurious feel against the skin.  A  high thread count hotel sheets also helps extend the life of your sheets, making them a valuable investment for hotel owners.

 Cotton sheets are a classic choice, known for their breathability and durability.   Cotton sheets come in a variety of thread counts, with options ranging from crisp percale to silky satin weaves.

As we spend around a third of our lives in bed, investing in the right bed sheet type is essential if you want to ensure that you have a good night's sleep.
