BeddingGetting a new set of bedding is a great way to give your bedroom a mini-makeover and give yourself the warmth and comfort you want. When picking out bedding, consider the size of your mattress, the climate and weather, the material and weave that you want and whether you'd prefer a bedding set or separates.Bedding comes in the same sizes as mattresses (single, double, twin, full, queen, king and Cal-king), so it's easy to match your sheets and blankets to your mattress size. For colder weather, choose thicker top bedding, such as a down duvet or comforter, and consider flannel-weave sheets. For warmer weather, look for lighter top bedding and percale-weave or silk sheets. Cotton is the most popular material for sheets, but there are many varieties, including Pima cotton, which is silky and soft, and Egyptian cotton, which is soft and lustrous. You can also choose from a variety of weaves, including peracle, which is smooth and crisp, and sateen, which very soft, smooth and shiny.
For ease of coordination, consider getting a bedding set, or bed-in-a-bag.

Crisp white sheets never go out of style. Sheets in colors, prints, and patterns are easy to find in all sizes and price ranges. Frequent washing tends to fade colors on budget-price sheets. Here are some additional sheet terms and facts to keep in mind. BONUS: After you buy bed sheets, learn how to care for them so they stay in tip-top shape. Thread count refers to the number of threads woven into 1 square inch of fabric.
Why does it matter? The higher the thread count, the softer and smoother the sheets will be. Thread count also determines whether a sheet is muslin or percale. Sheets with a thread count of 140-180 are muslin. Everything higher is percale. The most common percale sheets have thread counts of 180-200. Higher-quality sheets have a 250-300 thread count and feel silky to the touch. Sheets with a high thread count (300-400) are considered luxury quality. Look for a minimum thread count of 200 when selecting sheets. When buying cotton-polyester blend sheets, choose a thread count of 220 or more. Expect to pay more for higher thread counts, because it takes more finely spun threads to make them. For comfort and durability, cotton is still king. Want a natural, breathable fabric? Choose 100 percent cotton. If you are allergic to dyes and chemicals, look for sheets made from organically grown, natural, undyed cotton fibers. Flannel, muslin, oxford, percale, and sateen weaves are most commonly used for cotton sheets.
Percale, which is tightly woven, is still a basic weave for sheets, as is sateen. Muslin sheets come at a lower price point than percale because prices are typically based on thread counts. Look for wrinkle-resistant cotton sheets as an alternative to stiff cotton-polyester blends. Machine-washable, combed-cotton percale with a thread count of 200-250 will provide long wear. 50 percent cotton/50 percent polyester sheets resist wrinkling but can be stiff. The 60 percent cotton/40 percent polyester blend is another option. Look for a high thread count (above 220) to ensure quality in cotton-polyester blends. Silk satin sheets are ideal for cold climates because the material traps warmth. These sheets feel smooth and luxurious, but they are expensive and must be dry-cleaned. Avoid satin-style sheets made of polyester; they feel scratchy against the skin. Cotton jersey knit is made from the same breathable fabric as cotton T-shirts and is comfortable year-round. Dark colors and patterns tend to fade, however.
Linen, which is ideal for hot climates, is considered the finest sheet fabric. Fine linen sheets last for decades, making them a worthwhile investment. Editor's Tip: Not sure which fabric is best for you? Buy a pair of pillowcases and see how you like them before committing to a complete set of sheets. Getting ready to shop for sheets? Start by carefully measuring the mattress. Mattress sizes can vary, and you want to make sure you're getting the right size for your bed. Write down your mattress dimensions, measuring from head to foot, side to side, and top to bottom (mattress thickness). That way you'll know exactly what you need. These are the standard sheet sizes, listed in inches, for typical mattress options. Twin Bed: As the smallest mattress, the twin is usually meant for one person. Twin flat sheet: 66x96 Twin fitted sheet: 39x75 Twin Extra-Long Bed: Usually found in college dorm rooms, this mattress is longer than the standard twin. Twin XL flat: Not made;
use a standard twin flat sheet. Twin XL fitted: 39x80 Full-Size Bed: Also known as a double, this mattress can sleep two. Full flat: 81x96 (to 100) Queen-Size Bed: The queen mattress sleeps two. It is both longer and wider than a full-size mattress. Queen flat: 90x102 (to 106) King-Size Bed: Also known as the Eastern king, this mattress is the largest option. King flat: 108x102 (to 106) Pillowcase: 20x36 (to 40) California King Bed: This luxurious mattress is longer and narrower than the Eastern king. California king flat: 102x110 California king fitted: 72x84 Many newer beds feature pillow-top or extra-deep mattresses, which often run 14-16 inches deep -- and may be even thicker. Use these mattress depths as a guide when selecting sheets. Bear in mind that you might need to buy the next size up (e.g. a king flat sheet for a queen-size bed) to accommodate a deeper mattress. Deep: Up to 15 inches Traditional January white sales are the ideal time to purchase bargains.
Linen outlets are year-round destinations for bargain hunters. For the most savings on quality sheets, look for sales of marked-down individual sheets instead of sets. Mix and match fitted and flat sheets with pillowcases and shams. For mixing, choose white or a solid pastel for one of the sheets or for the pillowcases. Another smart strategy: Consider buying identical sets of sheets so that you can trade off sheets if something spills or a sheet gets damaged. Stock these items to dress every bed in comfort and style. Two or three sheet sets in the correct size. Each sheet set should include top (flat) and bottom (fitted) sheets plus two pillowcases. You may need additional pillowcases if you use more than two pillows. Change and launder sheets and pillowcases once a week. Two mattress pads: one in the linen closet, one on the bed. Wash every two to four weeks. Two pillowcase protectors per pillow One duvet and duvet cover or comforter, if using One coverlet, quilt, or spread
