Who gives a sheet…or three?� Now that summer is on the way, everyone is stripping down their beds to lighter sheets and thinner down comforters.� Whether evenings are warm or cool, cotton sheets and an�insulated�light down comfoter keep you as cool or toasty as you want to be.
Now that you’re changing sheets along with the seasons, how many sets of sheets should you have on hand?� The answer is often referred to as the three sheet rule.� If you have three full sets of sheets, they will last much longer than one or two.� Besides, one set of sheets is impractical if you get sick and the sheets get soiled.
Before you store your winter sheets, wash them thoroughly.� Cotton bedding sheets are washed with like colors in warm water then tumbled dry on a medium setting.� Over time, cotton sheets get softer and more welcoming.� Cotton/polyester sheets are machine washed and dried on a permanent press setting.� Always verify the fiber content on the sheets’ label before your wash and dry them.� Now that the weather is warm, you can even dry them on the line outside to save electricity.� Besides, you’ll love the fresh fragrance when they dry in the sun.
Store sheets away for the winter in a linen closet or chest.� Use a pouch filled with lavender or rosemary to keep moths away.� You can also deter moths with cedar blocks or chips.� For the summer, consider a new set of sumptous Egyptian cotton bedding�sheets for the ultimate night’s sleep.

Thread count is the actual number of threads in one square inch of cloth. The higher thread count fabrics are woven with finer yarns, more durable, more luxury, more breathable and contain a tighter weave to prevent leaking. That makes them the lightest and therefore able to have the maximum ability to loft. A minimum of 230 thread count is necessary to be considered leak proof, which prevents down and feathers from leaking. When choosing your down comforters, bedding sheets, down alternative comforters or down pillows always check your thread count and don’t let it be under a 230 thread count.
