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.
Pima cotton is a rare type of cotton fiber grown in Peru, Australia, and the US. A relative of the Egyptian cotton plant, Pima cotton boasts of extra-long fibers - up to 50% longer than average - coming from the fluffiest part of the plant. Pima cotton bed sheets are known to be durable yet resistant to wrinkles.
When choosing bedsheets, it is important to consider factors such as material, weave, thread count, and care instructions. If softness and warmth are your priority, flannel sheets may be your best choice. For a silky, luxurious feel, satin or satin sheets may be the perfect choice. If breathability and durability are your top priorities, cotton sheets may best suit your needs.
