Answer these 3 questions to find the right sheets for you
There are so many ways to create your ideal bedroom decor, but first you need to know what kind of bedding you want, and if it’s best suited to your own sleeping habits and sense of style.
At Schweitzer Linen, we’ve been helping people furnish their perfect bedrooms for over 50 years, so we know pretty much everything there is to know about bedding. To find out what kind of bedding is right for you, answer some of these questions and we’ll help you find exactly what it is you’re looking for.
- What’s your ideal sleeping temp?
- Cool. I tend to run hot
- Warm. I’m often chilly
- Balanced. Somewhere in between hot and cold
- If you chose “A” you want your sheets to be cool, light and moisture-wicking. Linen, sateen, and percale are all light, airy and keep skin from overheating. The less moisture, the cooler the skin. The cooler your skin, the cooler you are.
- If you get chilly easily, layers are your best friend. There are still many hygienic reasons to have high quality sheets that wick moisture and keep skin from excess sweating, but in addition, you’ll want to have a really cozy comforter on hand, or one of our luxurious blankets and throws. This allows you to customize the level of warmth you need without overheating.
- If you think your ideal sleeping temp is more in the middle, the easiest thing you can do is get the highest quality sheets in a style you love, and pair them with one of our versatile layers made with ultralight yet super warm fabrics like irresistible cashmere or alpaca. Customizing your bedroom with the right fabrics and layers is simply going to give you more options when trying to create your ideal sleeping situation.
- How Do You Want Your Bed Sheets to Feel?
- Silky and smooth
- Super light and airy
- Sheets are sheets
- If silky and smooth is your go to, cotton sateen produces a silkier, smoother set of sheets sure to please. They are not only smooth and silky to the touch, but they give off a slight sheen to add more interest to your decor.
- For the super light and airy fans, the good news is there are so many sheets that fit that description. linen of course comes to mind first for its natural ability to feel light and airy yet regulate both cold and warm temps with extreme pleasure. Many cotton sheets are also naturally breathable, but if you’re going with lighter cotton, it’s best to choose a percale.
- When in doubt, style it out. If you don’t have a preference on the way your sheets feel, the best course of action might just be to grab some of our high-quality sheets proven to stand the test of time, in a style that makes you feel happier, more inspired, more at peace, or however you want to feel.
