3 Things To Look At When Buying Bedding
Posted by bestRev on 01/17/09 in Shopping
Have you ever wondered how it is that some people can purchase the perfect kind of bedding while the sheets, blankets and comforters that you buy just never seem quite right? If so, consider these three things carefully the next time that you purchase new bedding:
- Size. This sounds obvious but many people get the wrong size bedding for their beds. Make sure that you know what the size of your bed is and that the bedding you get is suited to that size. There’s no point in buying great sheets if they’re meant for a daybed and you buy them for a king. Beware that it’s not just smaller sizes that are a problem; don’t get sizes too big for your bed either.
- Fabric. The most important thing to consider when choosing your bedding is the fabric. You want fabric that is going to feel great against your skin. This is different for different people. Some love satin; others think velvet is the way to go. Consider what you like and make sure to splurge in this area to get the good stuff.
- Color. Choose a color that is going to match the decor of your room but that is also going to really make you feel special every time that you get into bed. For example, I have a deep burgundy blanket that makes me feel indulgent just for going to sleep!
If you get size, fabric and color right then you’re going to have bedding that you are happy to lie down with!

Hey, even if I lived in Podunk Indiana I would want a good security system. they do more than prevent burglary, they ar there for us when there are accidents or even fires. If you can put one on your tent when you are camping, even that would be a great idea!

In the past all of my bedding purchases have been based on price more than the things you listed but you do make good sense. There is nothing worse than covers too short or comforters too small to fit. Like everything in life, you get what you pay for.

I thought it would be simple, Go to the store see something you like and pay for it but now it seems I have had the wrong approach for years. Your ideas are good but it will be hard for me to change my ways.

I have to say, this is about as true as it gets. I currently have a cheap comforter on a bed that I can’t stand. The color was there, but the size is wrong (I have a pillow top matteress) and the thing looks wrinkled. Don’t cheap out: you have to live with it a long time.

What is the bid deal about “thread count”? My girlfriend insists on using that as the basis for our linen and I still haven’t figured out the difference. I will admit the sheets are a little softer than I’ve had in the past but it has to be more than that.
