Before you go shopping for bed linen, it’s worth taking measurements. Measure your bed to see how big a sheet you need. It should be bigger than the mattress so that it can be tucked in. After that, examine the bedding: pillowcases and duvets. It will be a shame to buy a beautiful set of bed linen and find that instead of square pillowcases there are rectangular. Once all the measurements have been taken, check the labelling system.

Choose the right material
Just like with choosing a cream – it’s important to look at the composition. Natural materials will make sleeping much more comfortable. At the very least, they are not as hot to sleep with, because natural materials allow air to pass through. Moreover, synthetic bed linen can aggravate symptoms of asthma, allergies and eczema. Next, you should take into account your own tactile sensations and budget. Some people like expensive silk, which creates a cool feeling. Some people like budget-friendly, rough cotton.
