What is the best way to select the proper bed sheets?

Great sheets are determined by the quality of the fabric, the weave and the thread count in cotton or GSM in linen or Momme in silk. A high measurement won’t make up for poor quality fabric but it can go a long way to contributing to fantastic bedding.

Prized for its warmth, flannel is primarily popular as a winter material. You can assess how thick and heavy a flannel sheet is by the GSM, or grams per square meter. A GSM of 130 to 135 is considered lightweight, 140 to 150 is considered midweight, and 160 or more is considered heavyweight. 

In bedding sheets, high thread count cotton bed sheets are key to achieving a good night’s rest. This is because higher thread counts result in a tighter cotton weave, making the fabric smooth and silky to the touch.
