All about a bedsheet and its different materials.

A bedsheet is an important aspect without which a bed would look incomplete. Even though a quality mattress and a blanket on top of it really make the bed look amazing, it would always look incomplete without a bedsheet.

There are various types of bedsheets, which mean people have a lot of options to choose from. However, whatever you look for, always make sure you are looking at bedsheets that are cotton-made only. This reason cotton out-performs any other kind of fabric is because it is known to be good for air circulation and provides the utmost comfort

There are two types of bedsheets:

Fitted Sheet
A fitted sheet is brought to accommodate the mattress. Its corners are elastic which help in perfectly adjusting to the mattress. You however need to be very particular about the size, as you may be able to fit a short-fitted sheet to a mattress, but it would keep coming off the mattress since the fitting would be too tight. In case it is too loose, you would not be able to get a good night’s sleep since sheets will have extra layers hanging on the bed.

Flat Sheet
A flat sheet is usually placed between the mattress and the blankets on top. A lot of people do not make use of these sheets, as they chose to make use of a comforter, which ideally goes on top of a flat sheet. The best thing to do is to go for these or a light blanket in the summer, and in the winter, you could throw in a comforter on top of it.

What is the Ideal Thread Count for Your Bed Sheets?
Few things rival the joy of sinking into a bed adorned with premium-quality sheets. Optimal sheets are synonymous with restful slumber, and it's imperative not to compromise on their quality. Many customers believe that bed sheets boasting a higher thread count offer enhanced comfort.

Understanding Thread Count:
Thread count refers to the number of threads woven into one square inch of fabric and serves as a standard measure of bed sheet quality. Essentially, it represents the total count of threads—both horizontally and vertically—within the fabric. A higher thread count is achieved by densely weaving more threads into a single square inch of fabric.

Versatile Styling with Duvet Covers:
Imagine a duvet cover as akin to a large pillowcase for your duvet. Duvets offer a touch of luxury as they can be effortlessly swapped in and out, allowing for quick style changes. Moreover, duvet covers are excellent for setting a tranquil ambiance. For instance, if you're seeking a cozy night in, we recommend opting for the Hotel Collection 100% Cotton Percale Duvet Cover Set to create a serene atmosphere. Alternatively, you can evoke the essence of a beach vacation by adorning your duvet with super soft 400 Thread Count Sateen duvet covers, enabling you to swiftly alter your mood.

Optimal Number Of Threads:
So, is there a number of threads that can really improve the quality of bedding? For percale beddings, thread count between 200 and 300 is ideal. For sateen sheets, looking for sheets with thread count between 300 and 600. Sheets with a higher thread count will not always improve the quality of the bedding, but will make the sheets heavier and possibly rougher. When there are more threads, they must be woven tightly, which results in a smaller space between the threads. The smaller the space between the threads, the less airflow, which reduces the breathability of the fabric unless very thin threads are used, such as those made of 100% extra-long staple combed cotton. With 300-400 thread count beddings, you can achieve the perfect softness, comfort and luxury that your body needs to rest.

Next, we talk about the different types of materials these bedsheets are made of

Polyester Sheets
A bedsheet is not made of polyester entirely, but is combined with another fabric. This is because polyester is in itself a very itchy fabric and is stiff, so it is not as comfortable as compared to the fabrics.

Bamboo Sheets
Because of the material, people have formed a common misconception that these sheets would be uncomfortable. But bamboo sheets are actually made of rayon. This means that during the process of the bamboo being made into a fabric, the resulting sheet is smooth and silky.

This process however involves harmful chemicals, which even though leaves no trace of any once the process is done, is not a very environment-friendly method.

Cotton Sheets
This type of sheets is the best as cotton is always the best fabric to use when it comes to a bedsheet. Most of the stores sell cotton sheets are they are always in great demand, so you do not have to worry about where to find them. The reason these sheets are so famous is because they remain to stay cool even in the hot summers, and even if you sweat or the sheet gets dirty, it is very easy to wash. Just throw them into the washing machine, and they will come out as new.

Finding the perfect towels for you

GSM, or grams per square meter, is the measure of the fabric’s weight and directly relates to how soft and absorbent a towel is. GSM is one of the main specifications you’ll see in a towel’s product description and you can think of it like a sheet’s thread count, though not all manufacturers will list it. GSM typically ranges from 300 to 900, and generally speaking, the higher the GSM, the plusher, thirstier and more luxurious the towel will feel.

As you can see, there are a large variety of different towels that vary in quality depending on the GSM and range you choose. If you operate a high-end hotel then you will want to stock guest towels that are 600GSM or more and are good quality. However, if you don't have the budget for these more expensive towels, then lower GSM ranges of towels will still do the job perfectly well. At Ghometex we stock a range of towels suited to the needs of all kinds of businesses and also for large families. If you can’t find the sort of towel you are looking for.
