Why Your Bedsheets Might Be Ruining Your Sleep (And How to Fix It)
Have you ever heard, good sleep starts with good bedsheet set? Because there is nothing like climbing into a bed after a long, exhausting day where you’ve finally shut down the laptop, brushed your teeth and you're ready to just crash. But then, you’re not able to really sleep, either your sheets are too warm, too rough or keep slipping off the corners and make it look very crumbled. Suddenly, your bed isn’t the cozy haven you were hoping for.
We don’t often think about it, but the type of bedsheets sets you sleep on can seriously affect how well you rest and your sleep pattern.
Let’s unpack why your bed sheets might be messing with your sleep and what you need to look for instead.
Do Sheets Really Make a Difference?
Scratchy fabric, stuffy material or bedsheets that keep you awake up at 3 a.m. which might not sound like a big deal, but night after night, they can wear you down and the rest of your day. Synthetic sheets often trap heat and are made of cheap blend fabrics which can feel stiff or irritating against your skin.
But what happens when you have a light, breathable cotton bedsheet sets that can keep you cool and make you comfortable in deep sleep throughout the night. They are made of natural fabrics like cotton, bamboo or linen which lets your skin breathe, wick away moisture and feel much calmer throughout the night.
These bedsheets also have the magical ability to tuck into the mattress and stay well-fitted throughout the night. And when your bedding stays in a place you are not waking up to tug it in and smooth it back down, but you can peacefully relax in your peaceful abode.
What's the Deal with Thread Count?
Thread counts are what makes the real difference between the synthetic bedsheets and the pure cotton or linen one. And here’s how you can know how to shop the cozy and soft touch bedsheets made for you. You’ve probably seen the term “300 TC” and wondered if it really matters. Here's a quick breakdown:
Thread count is simply the number of threads woven into a square inch of fabric. So, 300 TC means 300 threads in one square inch. Is more always better? Not necessarily. A higher thread count can feel softer, but only if the material itself is good. For example, 300 TC cotton sheets from a quality brand might feel better than 800 TC sheets made from cheap synthetics. So it’s always the balance of the right thread count and fabric quality.
How to Choose Better Bedsheets (That You’ll Actually Love)
1. Fabric First
Go for natural, breathable materials such as cotton which is always a solid choice as it’s soft, cooling and lasts long. Linen is great too, especially in humid or warm climates. Himeya’s 100% cotton sheets are a no-brainer if you’re after comfort without sacrificing quality.
2. Don’t Get Caught Up in Just Numbers
Thread count is just one piece of the puzzle. Himeya’s 210 TC cotton sheets, for example, feel smooth, durable and cozy, without being too heavy or too light.
3. Fit is Everything
Always match your sheet size to your mattress size. Too small and it pops off. Too big and it’s a wrinkled mess. King size bedsheet, queen size bedsheet, or double bedsheet, get the size that hugs your bed just right.
4. Let the colours match your mood
We don’t talk about this enough, but the color of your sheets can totally change the energy of your room. Want something calm and restful? Go for soft tones like blue, sage or beige. Feeling bold? Try deep orange or even a muted red tone.
5. Care Counts
Let’s face it, no one wants high-maintenance sheets. Look for machine-washable bedsheet sets that don’t wrinkle like crazy or lose color after two washes. Himeya checks all those boxes and makes your work easy.
