What To Look For When Choosing Luxury Bedding

Just bought a king size bed, huh? Now it's time to fit your new Sealy posturepedic with layers of comfy sheets!

Choosing Luxury Bedding seems a little daunting since the days of Disney sheets and Scooby Doo pyjamas. What does one look for when purchasing luxury bedding? Here are a few things to consider.

What kind of bed do you have? If you just bought a king, of course, you would purchase king sheets. There are different kinds though - California King (or super king) and regular king so keep that in mind. There are sheets for twin, full (or double), canopy,  and even queen size beds. There is even sheets with extended length if you like an extra fold for style or extra coverage.

Next you need to think about the decor and style. Nothing ties the style of a bedroom together more than the bedding. Black furniture would be excellent with an Asian themed set with matching comforter and shams. Pull it all together with an accent color for the curtains and your room would look like HGTV designed it. Or you can choose a print such as floral, zebra , striped or even a solid color to accent the oak or cherry wood bedroom sets in your home.

Choosing luxury bedding means you also have to pick what kind of fabric and thread count you may want. You can use silk, satin, linen, and bamboo fabrics. The most popular is cotton. There are different kinds of cotton bedding - Pima, Supima, and Egyptian which is considered the best.

Egyptian cotton has long fine staple fibers which is more involved to process. It does cost more than the others but feels extremely soft.  For the comforters and throws you can add textures such as chenille, damask, toile, fur or sateen. These textures have a different kind of weave compared to the other fabrics.

Thread count ranges from 80 to 1200 count. Thread count is basically the amount of fibers woven together per square-inch of fabric. The closer together the fibers are the softer and smoother the feel of the cloth. There is more of a cost for a higher thread count.

Remember when choosing luxury bedding, pick the right size, keep in mind your bedroom decor, and select the fabric and thread count that appeals to you and your budget.

My mom bought some really nice silk sheets for her king size bed. She tells me they are really cool to sleep under and feel really nice close to the skin. She's gone for a really deep red that looks really really elegant. She also bought some new orthopedic pillows and covered them with deep red pillowcases to match the sheets. The bed looks lovely.

My new bed is a king size bed as well. It's so much better than my old bed. You don't realize how good a new bed is until you actually find yourself in it for the first time. But like you my sheets are a bit too small so it looks like I need to go down to the mall and get new ones. I didn't realize there was such a difference in the thread count, this has made me think so I'll be more aware of what to look for when I go shopping.

I just bought a new bed and it's a big king-size. I thought I could use old sheets that I've had for many years for my previous bed. Unfortunately they are queen-size sheets. I've tried them on and they do cover the bed but there's not very much left to fold under. Maybe this is a good thing because the bed is really comfortable and perhaps it will be great to have some brand-new luxury sheets to go with it.
 

Pink and Brown Polka Dot Baby Bedding Hits the Spot For a Daughter's Nursery

By Fenella McPherson
More people than ever these days are choosing to dress their daughters' nurseries with pretty yet powerful pink and brown polka dot baby bedding. It is obviously a decidedly feminine decorative alternative, but it is not pale or dull; and it is certainly not like the colors used by past generations. The dark chocolate and milk chocolate browns used in these items make their patterns quite striking as well as highly attractive.
