You deserve to get the best quality sheets for the money you spend. After all, you’ll be sleeping in them for about eight hours each night.

The problem is that some bedding manufacturers use sneaky language and terminology to make their sheets seem better than they really are.

That’s why it’s important to know some basic bed sheet lingo and to know what to watch out for. You need to make sure you’re not comparing apples to oranges.

By the time you’re done reading this article, you should know the main types of bed sheets available. As well as how they feel, and the general affordability of each.

You’ll learn whether thread count is really as important of a factor as it’s made out to be, and how to wash and care for various bed sheet fabrics as well.

But first, let’s learn a little bit about how bed sheets have progressed over the years.

Some Bed Sheet Background and History

Humans have been making beds for as far back in our history as we can tell.

Our ancestors started by making mats of plant matter to sleep on thousands of years ago. To keep warm, they covered themselves with animal furs as blankets. They were even ingenious enough to use plant leaves that contained natural pesticides to help keep mosquitos at bay!

However, the first bedding that we would consider actual bed sheets were made from linen. Linen is a type of fabric that comes from the flax plant, which people have been farming for hundreds of years.

The Egyptians were the first people to master the art of spinning and to weave flax fibers into linen. Linen provided our early ancestors with soft and comfortable bedding, but it was very labor-intensive to produce.

Cotton production took off in the United States in the early 1800s. This brought about a major revolution in how bed sheets were made. Cotton was much easier to spin, weave, and dye than linen, even in much larger quantities.

By the middle of the 1800s, linen bed sheets largely fell out of favor as most people moved over to cotton bed sheets. Why bother with linen when cotton had become so cheap and easy to produce?

In modern times, the production of bed sheets has become almost entirely mechanized. Humans barely need to touch any stage of the process. With improving technology, companies started to use blended fibers and even began to incorporate synthetic materials like polyester.

Today, bed sheets are available in a wider range of materials, colors, and prints than ever before.

How to Evaluate New Bed Sheets

When you’re looking to buy a new set of bed sheets, you should consider these criteria and ask yourself the following questions:

Quality

How do these bed sheets measure up against similar products? Are you getting a better or worse product for the same price as something else?

Material

What material do you want your bedding to be made from? Some are more comfortable than others. Some require more or less care when it comes to washing and drying them. Certain materials are better for cold winter months, while others are more light and breathable for summer sleeping.

Durability

Are your sheets able to withstand the wear and tear of daily use? Do you have pets that sleep on your bed or any other factors to consider? Almost all quality bed sheets should last for several years. But some are more rugged and low-maintenance than others.

Comfort

What does comfort in bed sheets mean to you? Do you want the softest and silkiest fabric possible, or is having a nice heavy material more important to you?

Different Bed Sheet Fabric Options

Bed sheets come in a wide variety of materials. Each of them has their own pros and cons you’ll need to consider before deciding which is right for you.

Cotton

Cotton is still the most popular fabric when it comes to bed sheets. It’s affordable, easy to care for, and provides a comfortable night’s sleep all year round.

There are many different types of cotton sheets to consider. Each has a different level of quality and price point.

Cotton sheets are more prone to wrinkles than other fabrics, but they’re also one of the easiest to clean. Be aware that it typically takes a few washes before your cotton sheets fully soften.

Egyptian cotton. This type of cotton is considered to be of the highest quality available. As the name suggests, it’s grown in the hot and dry climate of Egypt which results in the longest possible cotton fibers. That means softer and smoother cotton.

Egyptian cotton bed sheets are considered the gold standard, and that comes with a higher price tag. But even the best cotton sheets can still end up being more affordable than some other materials, such as silk.

Pima cotton. This type of cotton is mostly grown here in America and makes for great quality bed sheets. Pima cotton fibers can range from medium length to nearly as long as Egyptian cotton. It’s arguably nearly as good a quality as Egyptian cotton but with a lower price tag.

Upland cotton. If you come across something labeled “100% cotton” but it doesn’t specify which type, you’re probably looking at upland cotton. This type of cotton is native to North America, but it’s also the most widely grown cotton in the world. It has shorter fibers and isn’t as soft as Pima or Egyptian cotton. However, it’s also the least expensive type of cotton.

Organic cotton. This type of cotton is grown without the use of any pesticides, and it’s untreated during productions. Organic cotton is a good choice if you’re sensitive or allergic to any chemicals.

Flannel. Flannel sheets are made by combing cotton. It makes the fibers bunch up and creates a more insulating material. That makes flannel sheets super warm, and perfect for cold winter nights.

Synthetics

The most common synthetic material for bed sheets is polyester, which is made using plastic polymers. Other synthetics used in sheets include rayon and acrylic. Synthetic sheets are usually the most affordable ones available.

But cheaper versions don’t breathe or absorb moisture as well as cotton. That means you might wake up feeling damp and clammy. Low-quality synthetics can be stiff and scratchy if not blended with cotton or another material.

Microfiber

The best quality synthetic sheets are called microfiber. They’re made from a super finely woven polyester or other synthetic material. Microfiber can be very soft and comfortable.

A high quality double brushed microfiber sheet will provide superior moisture wicking and softness, and is comparable to that of cotton. Microfiber is also naturally wrinkle free, and no chemicals are needed to maintain the crispness of these sheets.

Microfiber has a very tight weave which makes the fabric naturally hypoallergenic. It’s a great choice for allergy sufferers because dust mites can’t crawl through the tight weave of the fabric.

Polyester is quite durable, and it resists stains so it can be an affordable choice for children’s bed sheets.

Lyocell, Tencel, and Modal

Lyocell is a generic term for sheets that are made from wood pulp into rayon. Despite being made from wood, these materials are still considered a synthetic fabric like polyester. Modal is lyocell specifically made from beech trees. And Tencel is a trademarked name for lyocell made from eucalyptus tree pulp.

All types of lyocell require less chemical processing than other natural and synthetic fibers. That can make them an environmentally-friendly option. Although, they aren’t considered a natural or organic fabric, despite what the marketing from some manufacturers would lead you to believe.

Silk

One of the most luxurious (but also costly) bed sheet fabrics, up there with Egyptian cotton. Silk is delicate and needs to be washed with care. Silk sheets keep you nice and warm and are great for winter, but aren’t so great in the summer.

Silk is a natural fiber which is produced by silkworms. It’s hypoallergenic, and since it’s extra smooth, it can help prevent bedhead.

Silk quality isn’t measured by thread count, but by mommes. A momme measures how much the silk weighs. For a good mix of strength and affordability, aim for somewhere around 19-mm silk.

Linen

 As we discussed in the history section earlier in this article, linen is basically the original bed sheet fabric. Linen is woven from flax and is thicker than other fibers like cotton.

That makes linen strong and durable, and it isn’t unusual for linen sheets to last for decades if properly cared for. It does require some extra care to stay looking good, though.

Linen is a good all-around sheet since it’s breathable and absorbs moisture.

Don’t get surprised when you see lower thread counts on linen sheets than you might expect from cotton. Since it’s such a thick fiber, most linen fabrics have less than a 200 thread count. Anything around 120 or higher is pretty good quality linen.

Blends

For an affordable sheet that borrows the best characteristics of multiple materials, blends are the way to go. The most common blend for bed sheets is cotton and polyester. It creates soft sheets that are also easy to care for.

Blends will last longer than synthetic fibers, but still wear out faster than 100% cotton sheets would.

Fabric Summary

Material Average Cost Natural or Synthetic? Pros Cons
Egyptian Cotton $$$ Natural Very soft, cool, breathable Expensive, prone to wrinkling
Pima Cotton $$ Natural Soft, cool, breathable Prone to wrinkling
Upland Cotton $ Natural Inexpensive, breathable Not as soft as other cottons, less durable
Flannel $$ Natural Warm, soft, durable Not as breathable as other cottons
Polyester $ Synthetic Inexpensive, durable Not as breathable, prone to wrinkling
Microfiber $$ Synthetic Hypoallergenic, soft, moisture wicking, wrinkle free May attract more lint/dust
Lyocell/Tencel $$ Synthetic Eco-friendly, soft, cool, durable Not breathable, can feel damp
Silk $$$ Natural Luxurious, soft, breathable, hypoallergenic Expensive, hand wash only, not durable
Linen $$$ Natural Breathable, absorbent, durable High price point, too stiff for some people

The Truth About Thread Count

Lots of consumers believe that the higher the thread count on a sheet, the better the quality. But in reality, there’s more to it than that.

threadcount humanosdotme 1

source:humanos.me

What is thread count?

Thread count basically means the number of threads that are woven into a single square inch of the sheet. It includes threads woven both vertically and horizontally. It’s most commonly listed on cotton sheets.

Realistically, the maximum number of threads that most weavers would say can be woven into a single square inch of cotton fabric is around 500 or 600.

However, some manufacturers stuff extra threads into the horizontal section of the weave to increase the overall thread count. That’s why thread counts on some sheets can get up into the thousands.

Is thread count the final word on sheet quality?

In a word, no. In fact, some fabrics don’t even measure quality based on thread count. Silk, flannel, and jersey knit cotton sheets are measured by units other than thread count (usually weight.)

Other fabrics like linen are made of thicker fibers that can never reach thread counts into the thousands. That doesn’t mean they are low quality or less comfortable.

For microfiber sheets, the threads are so thin that thread count becomes irrelevant. Microfiber filaments are about 1% of the thickness of a human hair, so they reach thread counts as high as 200,000 per square inch! In fact, too high of a thread count in a microfiber sheet may even indicate a thick, uncomfortable fabric.

What else to consider besides thread count?

Thread count might be one good characteristic to look at for cotton sheets. Especially to rule out very low thread counts. To get quality sheets, you want a minimum of 200 thread count. But once you get above 500 thread count, the numbers pretty much become meaningless.

The type of cotton is arguably more important. You can rely on Egyptian cotton to be the highest quality of cotton available. Pima cotton is also a great choice.

But even something labeled as Egyptian cotton is still open to manipulation by manufacturers. Make sure the label says “100% pure Egyptian cotton.” Otherwise, they might only be including a small amount of Egyptian cotton and blending it with lower quality cotton as well.

Weave should also play a part in your decision. For example, sheets with a percale weave will be more durable than a cotton satin, even if they have the same thread count. Percale also tends to pill less since it’s woven more densely.

However, if you want a lighter and silkier feel, then you might want to opt for a cotton satin instead.

Just remember: when it comes to sheets, you usually get what you pay for! If a price seems too good to be true, there’s probably something else going on.

Bed Sheet Sizes

Beds and mattresses are available in different sizes. You’ll need a different size of bedsheet depending on the length and width of your bed.

Below are the standard sizes used by the North American bed sheet industry for fitted sheets.

Note that other countries use the same names for different sizes, so outside of the US your experience may be different. The measurements for flat sheets will also be significantly larger than these measurements for fitted sheets.

Twin – 75 inches long by 39 inches wide

Double / Full – 75 inches long by 53 inches wide

Queen – 80 inches long by 60 inches wide

King – 80 inches long by 76 inches wide

California King – 84 inches long by 72 inches wide

Since the sizes of mattresses and bedsheets are standardized, you can be confident that the sheet you buy will fit your bed once you get them home.

However, one thing to watch out for is the depth of your mattress. Many new beds have pillow tops or memory foam that make them deeper than a standard mattress. This can affect how your sheets fit, especially fitted sheets.

If you have an extra thick mattress, you’ll want to look at the pocket measurement on any fitted sheets that you’re looking at buying. Buy a deeper pocket to make sure your sheets will fit your mattress.

The common sheet pocket sizes are:

Standard – for a mattress depth of 7 to 12 inches

Deep – for a mattress depth of 13 to 17 inches

Extra deep – for a mattress depth of 18 to 25 inches

Different Fabric Weaves

Two sheets made from the same fabric can be significantly different depending on how they have been woven. Weave affects how your sheets will look and feel.

weave 1

Percale, also called plain weave, is the most common sheet weave. It’s tightly woven to give a matte appearance and feels soft to the touch. It’s good if you want sheets that feel lightweight and crisp. Percale is durable and will last longer than most other weaves.

Sateen is a looser weave than percale. It looks shinier and feels softer. It gives a silky and luxurious feel. Usually, only one side has a silk-like finish, and the reverse has a plain finish. A sateen weave is more delicate than percale and can wear out faster.

Twill weaves use a diagonal pattern instead of straight weaves like percale and sateen.

Jersey knit fabric is knitted instead of woven. It feels soft like a t-shirt right out of the package and has some natural stretch to it.

Jacquard is a style of weaving where designs are incorporated directly into the fabric. This gives jacquard woven sheets a multidimensional finish. It usually has an old-fashioned look to it.

Seersucker is another multidimensional style of weave. It alternates between stripes of textured and smooth fabric.

Waffle woven fabric creates a pattern of textured waffle-like squares, but it still feels smooth and soft to the touch.

Pinpoint is a stitch pattern normally used in men’s dress shirts and similar types of clothing, but it’s also sometimes used for sheets. It’s not as soft or durable as other weaves.

Finish

Most sheets get treated with chemicals after production, including silicon, formaldehyde, and chlorine. These chemicals serve a wide variety of purposes. They help keep the fabric from shrinking, losing its shape, or wrinkling. Some are also treated with special chemicals to give them a sheen.

Some people can be sensitive to these chemicals. If you have a sensitivity, look for pure-finish sheets that don’t use any chemicals or have all traces of chemicals removed.

Organic cotton sheets are another option, which is untreated and woven from cotton that is grown without pesticides.

Dyes

Sheets come in a wide variety of tones and designs. This makes it easy for shoppers to find something that matches their tastes and existing decor.

Normally dye gets applied to sheets once they’ve been woven. This can cause some sheets to feel stiff until you’ve put them through the wash a few times.

Specific fabrics like jacquard weaves use yarn-dyed fabrics and are soft right out of the package, but they are also more expensive.

Some dyes may bleed a bit before they are washed for the first time. This can stain the mattress or even your skin. You can test the color of your new sheets by dabbing them with a moist paper towel and inspecting it for stains. If it stains, you might want to put your sheets through the wash all by themselves once before putting them on your bed.

Essential Linens

So by now you probably know the details about the bed sheets that you want, including the size and material they’re made out of. But which bed sheets do you need exactly?

You can purchase every linen separately, but that can leave your bed looking mismatched. Instead, we recommend you buy complete sets with everything you need.

This means everything will be made of the same material and have matching colors. Which will really bring the appearance of your bed together. It will also ensure all of your different bedding will wear at an equal rate. Sets usually cost less than the price of purchasing all of the individual pieces too.

Top sheet

If you use blankets or a comforter on your bed, you’ll want to use a top sheet. It creates a soft and comfortable layer between you and any quilters or rougher fabrics on your bed.

It also absorbs any sweat so that you only need to wash your sheets, not your comforter, on a regular basis. Even if you have a duvet on your bed, a top sheet can be folded over as a decorative cuff to give an extra splash of color.

Bottom sheet

Your bottom sheet can be flat or fitted. This sheet covers your mattress and keeps it clean. Your bottom sheet should be deep enough to fit around your mattress. Otherwise, it won’t stay in place while you sleep, and you’ll be having to pull it back down every night.

Pillowcases

These linens protect and cover your pillow. Pillowcases come in a wide range of shapes and styles. Standard pillowcases are simply styled. While decorative pillowcases can be more ornate and feature different textures.

Pillowcases come in two main types: standard and Oxford. A standard (also called housewife) pillowcase is designed to fit the contours of your pillow. An Oxford pillowcase has a flat hem around the outside which creates a border.

Duvet cover

If you are using a duvet as your main source of warmth on your bed (instead of a comforter), you’ll want a duvet cover that matches your sheets and keeps the actual duvet clean.

Duvet covers also come in two styles, bag (edge to edge seams), or Oxford (with an extra border between the cover and duvet seam.)

Extra Linens You Might Want

While these next linens aren’t specifically needed for a good night’s sleep and don’t come standard in most sets, some larger sets may include them.

Pillowcase protectors

These go around your pillow before you place them in a pillowcase. They add a layer of protection to stop oils from your skin getting on your pillow.

Bed skirt

If your bed frame is raised off the ground and doesn’t have drawers or solid wood sides, you may want a matching bed skirt to cover the empty area below your mattress.

Summer and winter blankets

Some full sets of bedding may even include blankets, coverlets, quilts, or spreads that match your sheets.

Fabric Care

Taking proper care of your bed sheets will keep them in good condition for years to come. And also ensure that you have a hygienic and clean bed to sleep in.

Every night we sweat and shed tiny bits of skin, so it’s important to protect our mattresses and pillows. Wash your sheets regularly to avoid dust and bacteria building up.

Otherwise, it can lead to health problems like allergies, eczema, asthma, and bronchitis in those prone to them.

You should change your linens once per week, and wash your duvets, pillows, and blankets once a season or so. It’s best to follow the care instructions on your specific item’s tag, but here is some general advice in case you’ve cut the tag off or can’t read it.

Don’t use too much heat. It will cause even low-maintenance fabrics to wear out and age faster. Some fabrics will even melt or develop permanent wrinkles if washed or dried at too high of a temperature. Especially synthetics.

Use a gentle detergent and add your sheets to the washing machine after your detergent and water. Undiluted detergent can stain your sheets and be difficult to rinse out fully.

Avoid fabric softeners or bleach where possible. It can be hard on most fabrics.

Cotton is easy to care for and holds up to regular cleaning. If you’re using cotton sheets, take them out of the dryer and put them on the bed or fold them right away. This will help avoid the majority of wrinkles and the need to iron them.

For flannel cotton, dry on low to reduce pilling and keep them soft.

Cotton blend sheets should be dried using the permanent press or low heat cycle. Take your sheets out of the dryer right away to avoid wrinkling. You can use a steam iron on a low heat setting to touch them up for a crisper look.

Linen sheets normally need to be hand-washed or dry-cleaned. Some can be put in a gentle wash cycle if they are pre-washed first to avoid pilling. Don’t use bleach or fabric softeners.

Nylon sheets should be machine washed in warm water and tumble dried on a low-temperature setting. Make sure to include a dryer sheet to reduce static.

Polyester sheets can vary, so it’s important to read the label. But, most polyester items can be machine washed in cool water and dried at a low temperature. You can touch it up with a cool iron, but never hot. Using hot washer, dryer, or iron settings risks melting or permanently damaging your polyester.

Especially for microfiber, avoid dryer sheets, bleach, and fabric softeners. Microfiber should be washed separately from cotton and other lint-producing fabrics.

Rayon can be machine washed in cool water with a mild detergent. It shouldn’t go in the dryer though. Instead lay it flat to dry. Don’t wring or twist rayon if you’re hand washing it.

Silk might require dry cleaning. But some silks are machine washable (on the delicate cycle) or hand washable. Never put silk in a dryer, hang it to dry instead.

Tencel and other lyocell fabrics should be washed in cool water and should be hung or laid flat to dry instead of being put in the dryer.

FAQ (Frequently Asked Questions About Bed Sheets)

Q: What is pilling?

A: Pilling is something that affects certain sheet fabrics more than others. It’s when fibers break free and form a ball. Pilling is those little fuzzballs that you’ve probably seen form on some fabrics.

Pilling is a common characteristic of flannel, linen, and some kinds of polyester. The little pill balls don’t affect the functionality of your sheets, but some people don’t like the look or feel of them.

Q: How often should I replace my bed sheets?

A: You should expect quality bed sheets to last for many years if you take proper care of them. To get the longest life possible out of your bed sheets, it’s advisable to have two or three sets of sheets and rotate them on a weekly basis.

That way, at any given time, you can have one sheet on your bed, one in the washer, and one in the closet. Make sure to store your sheets in a well-ventilated area to keep them from getting musty. Also don’t overdry your sheets or use too high of a temperature, as this is one of the most common reasons why sheets don’t last as long as they should.

Q: What’s the difference between satin and sateen?

A: Satin and sateen are both a similar style of weave, and the difference between them is a bit technical.

A satin weave is where the warp (lengthwise) fibers float over four weft (widthwise) fibers. A sateen weave is the opposite, where the weft (widthwise) fibers float over four warp (lengthwise) fibers.

Q: How come some bed sheets lose their sheen after washing?

A: Some fabrics lose their shine after being washed, namely sateen bed sheets. It’s simply due to how the fabric is woven. You can restore the original shine and smoothness to your sateen sheets by lightly ironing them.

Q: Do I really need to iron my cotton bed sheets?

A: Ironing is really a matter of personal preference. Some people prefer a nice crisp sheet and the more elegant look of freshly ironed bedding. While others are content with slightly wrinkled bed sheets. There’s not really a right or wrong answer.

To keep your cotton bed sheets as wrinkle-free as possible without ironing, avoid over-drying them. Removing your sheets from the dryer and putting them on the bed right away will also help avoid the majority of wrinkles.

Q: How can I be sure that new sheets I buy won’t shrink?

A: Most bed sheet fabrics will shrink to some extent the first time that you wash them. Many suppliers anticipate shrinkage and cut their sheets a bit larger to allow for shrinkage. Others are specially treated during the manufacturing process to prevent shrinkage.

As long as you are using the correct methods to wash and dry your particular sheets, you shouldn’t run into any situations where the sheets no longer fit your bed.

Q: What is the average mattress thickness?

A: There’s a lot of variation in mattress thickness. Standard mattresses tend to have a depth of 9–12 inches. More modern mattresses with pillow tops or memory foam can be 14–16 inches deep or more.

When buying sheets, look for the correct pocket depth to accommodate your mattress. That way your sheets will stay in place while you move around in your sleep.

Q: What is thread count, technically speaking?

A: Thread count measures how many threads are in every inch of your bed sheet. It includes threads going in both weft (widthwise) and warp (lengthwise) directions.

Q: What is carded and combed cotton?

A: Carded cotton has gone through a mechanical process where fibers are aligned and go through a set of metal teeth. This untangles the cotton and also removes shorter fibers.

Combing cotton further aligns the fibers and removes even more short fibers and impurities. The cotton goes through a series of progressively finer combs. This results in smoother, cleaner, and stronger cotton. Bed sheets made with combed cotton often come with a higher price tag.

Q: Are more expensive sheets worth the price?

A: More expensive sheets can be worth the investment, but price isn’t the only factor you should consider when evaluating the quality of different sheets.

Bed sheets might cost more because they contain higher quality ingredients. But sometimes you’re just paying for a brand name or because something is in style, not necessarily for comfort or quality.

Even if you’re comparing similar items, prices can still vary widely across different sellers. For example, a 400 count Egyptian cotton queen sheet set is $59.99 at Bed Bath & Beyond but only $39.99 if you buy through CozyArray.

It’s important to shop around, as well as weigh the factors that are most important for you.

While higher-end sheets will generally last longer than cheaper ones, you reach a point where paying more won’t necessarily get you more durable or comfortable sheets.

What Kind of Bed Sheets Do We Rank #1?

When it comes to buying bed sheets, it definitely comes down to personal preference. But in our opinion, there is one material that provides a better value for money than all the rest.

For us, the winner is: Microfiber.

Microfiber combines all the great benefits of quality cotton sheets, plus a few extras, at a more affordable price.

A high-quality microfiber sheet can be just as soft and comfortable as cotton. It can also provide superior softness and moisture wicking.

Microfiber is naturally wrinkle free, which is great if you like your sheets to stay looking crisp without any ironing or chemicals required.

Plus the naturally tight weave of microfiber means it’s naturally hypoallergenic. That’s great for allergy sufferers. Dust mites simply can’t fit through the tight weave of the fabric.

It also resists stains and is quite durable, which can make it a great choice for children’s bedding or in your own bedroom.

Microfiber requires a bit different care than regular cotton sheets and laundry. You shouldn’t wash, dry, or iron it at high temperatures, as this can damage the fibers.
