A lot of people think that in order to get quality, you have to spend a lot of money. But, this isn’t always necessarily the case. For instance, you can get a lot of great bedding sets that are soft, comfortable, and durable, and you can get them priced between $50 and $100.
There are plenty of sets that are a lot more expensive, but there is little difference in the quality, and often, you are paying more for a well-known brand name.
Tips for Buying Bedding on a Budget
Before you go out and buy new bedding, you should know what to look for. A lot of us get into the habit of just picking up whatever is on sale for the best price. But, this isn’t always the best thing to do, because we end up with cheap quality bedding that will need to be replaced again in a few months.
Even though you are on a budget, It is better to spend a little bit more, without breaking the bank, to ensure that you get quality bedding that is going to last. Remember, buying quality bedding on a budget doesn’t just mean that it is inexpensive initially.
You need to find the right blend, something that is in a price you can afford and that is high quality. Here are some things to look for in a sheet set.
- High Thread Count – The higher the thread count, the higher quality your sheets are going to be. Typically, cheaper sheets have about a 200 thread count, while their more expensive counterparts have a thread count higher than 500.
- Size – If you have a queen size mattress, but you don’t want to buy the more expensive queen size sheets, opt for a full size flat sheet, which will fit on a queen size bed without a lot of overhang. Keep in mind that if you buy a complete set, the fitted sheet will not fit the queen size mattress.
- Fiber – Look for sheets made with wrinkle resistant, durable fibers. Among the most popular are cotton, bamboo, silk, polyester, and polyester microfiber (which is more durable than cotton and just as comfortable). All of these fabrics wick moisture from the skin, and are hypoallergenic.
- Deep Pockets – If you have, or are considering buying a pillow top mattress, make sure that you buy deep pocket sheet sets. Regular fitted sheets are not deep enough to fit over this type of mattress, or one that has mattress topper.
Best Sheets on a Budget Reviews
If you are the type of person to buy any old sheet set that is on sale, it is time to stop. You need to have sheets that are durable, comfortable, and that will help you breathe easier at night.
