It’s your favorite hello and your hardest goodbye.
It’s your bed, and it should be an absolute sanctuary. If it’s not the most comfortable place in the world, then maybe it’s time to rethink your bedding.
We spend about a third of our lives in bed, so investing in its comfort factor is a must. With all of the options out there it can get a bit overwhelming. Not to mention expensive.
So let’s talk affordable bedding.
How to Buy the Most Comfortable and Affordable Bedding
There is so much more to bedding than designer sheets and a high thread count. But from department stores to online bedding stores, finding nice bedding can be exhausting.
Here are a few tips to get you on your way to finding the best, affordable bedding.
1. Know Your Bed Size
Especially if you’re buying bedding online, you’ll need to know which size sheets you need. 8 inches is the standard depth for sheets. If you have a pillow top mattress or a mattress topper, you’ll want to look for deep pocket sheets.
By taking a quick measurement you’ll save time and money, especially if you are buying bedding online.
2. The Right Materials Will Make All the Difference
It’s important to choose bedsheets based on your needs. Do you run hot or cold? Do you need something hypoallergenic? What is your laundry routine? These are things to consider when deciding on the material of your future bedsheets.
You want sheets that will not only last but continue to feel and look nice. Materials can range from Egyptian cotton all the way to smart fabric. So forget about the thread count and think about the thread quality.
3. What Will You Cover Yourself With?
Duvets, quilt covers, comforters —which is best for you?
A duvet cover is a protective layer for your duvet comforter (sold separately). They come in many different colors and designs and can be removed easily to wash. These comforters are long-lasting, and the duvet cover can be always be switched if you change your color scheme. The downside is that they tend to be a bit pricey.
Quilt covers have ornate stitching patterns and make for a decorative bedding finish. These are well suited for summer nights as they do not provide much heat. However, they can always be layered during the winter months.
Comforters are usually a fashion fabric filled with synthetic or down fibers and stitched to keep the fibers in place. These are the most versatile and popular of the three.
The best place to buy comforters is online and at outlets stores. Usually, you can find a matching bedding set that will include the comforter, sheets, and pillowcases. They’re a great option if you’re on a budget because they cost much less than buying your bedding separately.
Bedding Will Be Your Favorite Investment
Finding affordable bedding isn’t difficult. But regardless of whether you visit online bedding stores or department stores, you’re going to have to spend some money. As long as you choose your bedding based on your needs, you can’t go wrong.
