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.
Budget-friendly and easier to care for
Thread count, ply, weave — what do any of these things even mean? We know you want your bedroom to be a comfortable and warm space to relax and wind down for the day. But with so many types of bed sheets to choose from (and all the jargon thrown around in the industry), it’s easy to give up and purchase a shabby pair that could work okay.
Another misconception about microfiber sheets is that they make you sweat. While it's true that microfiber isn't as breathable as natural fibers like cotton, high-quality microfiber sheets are designed to wick away moisture and regulate body temperature. Look for microfiber sheets with moisture-wicking properties to ensure a comfortable, sweat-free sleep experience.
Keep in mind that you may want to invest in different sheets for different purposes — for example if you live somewhere that can be bothverycold andveryhot, you might want separate summer and winter sheets.
