Wholesale Bed Sheets: Quality Factors
The quality of a bed sheet depends on a couple of factors, which are essential to consider while buying wholesale bed sheets, such as:
* Fabric: Cotton bed linen is all time favorite. Cotton is soft for the skin and keeps moisture away. Therefore, it is the best choice for the summer season. Flannel and brushed cotton are suitable for colder climates. Polyester, as compared to cotton, is more durable and also does not require ironing after a wash. However, polyester is harsher on the skin. Egyptian cotton is a very popular choice among cotton linen due to its durability and longer staple, as well as its smooth and silky feel.
* Thread count: This is the number of threads woven into each square inch of a fabric. The higher the thread count, the better the finish. This thread count varies between 80 and 1000. A count below 140 represents a low quality bed sheet and anything higher is considered as a good quality. Linen with a thread count between 140 and 180 is called 'muslin' and anything higher than this is called 'percale'. The common 'percale' linen has a thread count between 180 and 200, while higher quality 'percales' have a thread count of 250-300, and continue to give a luxurious and silky feel even after many washes.
Wholesale bed sheet stores offer a large variety in terms of quality and fabrics. Choose a minimum thread count of 200 for cotton bed sheets. For polyester, 220 or more is a favorable choice. Egyptian cotton linen is made with longer staples and becomes softer, silkier and more lustrous with every wash.
