Designer Bed Linen

"How You Can Find the Best Value
in Designer Bed Linen..."

There are so many types of designer bed linen. A person can become quickly confused and make the wrong purchase, regretting it for five years to come.

This is not necessary. When most people think of designer bed linen, they think about Egyptian cotton and Sateen.

People are familiar with these terms. They are synonymous with quality. While this is true, this limited view of designer bed linen leaves a designer's choices limited.

Online Shopping for Bedding

Online shopping can bring unlimited choices to the average home decorator. Egyptian cotton is considered the best quality, because of the length of fiber, this is common knowledge.

However, most people do not know that embroidered bed linen is available in all cottons, including Egyptian.

The best contemporary bed linen is a luxury which is available to everyone today. Most people shopping for home decor do not know that a high thread count, Egyptian cotton, embroidered bed linen set, costs the same as a polyester blend from a local box store, and less than it might cost in a specialty bedding store.

Sateen Bed Linen

Another thing people do not know about designer bed linen is that 100% Egyptian Cotton, 800 thread count also comes in sateen. Sateen allows people the option of adding an ultra smooth, shimmering bed linen to their room without sacrificing the sheet's quality by using a polyester blend.

When buying designer bed linen, the consumer should remember the saying, buyer beware. This is especially true when looking for the best bed linens.

A package might have the word Egyptian plastered all over the package, and the price might match that of the quality brands.

A second look at the package might reveal that only a five percent of the sheet's content is Egyptian. The rest could be a mix of 'grade' cottons and even polyester.

PIMA Cotton Designer Linen

Designer bed linen is also available in PIMA. This compares with Egyptian as one of the best bed linens. PIMA is known for its strength and durability. This cotton was developed in the southwestern USA.

This cotton was developed by carefully breeding Egyptian cottons to produce a fiber length that averages one and a half inches.

Pinpoint is used to create the best bed linens. It is made from a two over and one under weave. This bedding offers the durability expected from designer bed linens with lower thread counts. Pintuck combed cotton offers a silk-like feel with a smooth sateen weave.

Mattress Size

One of the most overlooked concerns when buying the best bed linen is the mattress size. Not measuring the mattress will cause frustration every time it is time to change the bed.

Struggling to make the sheet fit the mattress can damage the sheet. That is why it is important to find out how the sheet fits the mattress.

Real designer bed linen sheets have a 15-inch pocket depth are designed to accommodate mattresses up to 18 inches thick, others are not.

It is also important to find out whether the pocket is fully elasticized, or only has an elastic tuck.

Embroidered Bed Linen

Once the cotton is selected, then take a look at embroidered bed linen. Nothing sets off a sheet as beautifully as an embroidered trim. Designer bed linen has a quality that can be felt, and a luxury feel against the skin.

When buying the best bed linens, take a moment to consider what your guests will think when they visit. Not everyone is familiar with designer bed linens.

Embroidered bed linen sets the sheet sets apart from what is purchased in box stores and malls, giving them a touch of class, and setting them apart from ordinary bedding.

Life is to short not to be sleeping on fine bed linen!
