Plus: What’s the deal with thread count anyway?
All of us have been using bed sheets our whole lives, but it can still be tricky to differentiate the best bed sheets from the just-okay. What does thread count even mean? What’s the difference between cotton sateen and cotton percale? Here’s a quick guide to answer some of these questions and help you find the best bed sheets for your preferences.: There are four main bed sheet materials that every shopper should know: cotton percale, cotton sateen, linen and flannel.
The Lux sheets are made of long-staple, 480 thread count sateen cotton. This translates to sheets and pillow cases with a buttery-soft feel, lasting strength and a slight sheen. The sheets also have handy “long” and “short” side labels for making the bed easily, plus they’re OEKO-TEX certified to be free from chemicals. Brooklinen’s sheets are a breathable yet cozy year-round go-to for any type of sleeper.
As mentioned, percale cotton provides a crisp, lightweight feel. This fabric is usually more breathable than sateen, but less silky to the touch. Parachute’s fabric is top quality, made from long-staple Egyptian cotton, which gives the best lightweight percale experience. Add incredible strength and you’ve got one of the best sets of sheets around.BEST SWEAT-WICKING: PeachSkinSheets Night Sweats
