When purchasing bedsheets, be sure to read product descriptions and customer reviews to get an idea of the bedsheet's performance and durability.  Look for bed sheets labeled Anti-pilling or Anti-pilling for even more assurance.  It's also a good idea to wash your bed sheets according to the bedsheets manufacturer's instructions and avoid using harsh detergents or fabric softeners, as these may cause pilling.

JERSEY KNIT While Jersey knit sheets are still made from either natural or synthetic cotton, where they differ is the way they are produced. Instead of being woven like traditional cotton sheets, they are knitted. This gives the sheets a natural stretch and extra warmth. Keep in mind that jersey knit sheets do not have a thread count. Instead, the quality of the sheet can be measured by its weight per square yard.

'Linen is exceptionally breathable and is a go-to for the summer months,' says Aja Tilghman, of Lulu & Georgia. 'It has an airy, breezy quality that will keep you cool and its natural fibers provide an effortlessly elegant look. Cotton percale is also a good option for hot weather as it is inherently cooler in nature and provides a lighter, crispier feel.'
