Right?
Facts You Should Know About Your Bedsheets
- “Easy care”, “wrinkle free” etc, these terms are a fancy lot and captures the attention for sure, but did you know that the use of formaldehyde resin is incorporated to bring that look and comfort for you- toxic chemical as it is, you’d be risking your health, since the chemical isn’t washable from the sheets or the duvet cover sets!
- Bring about a refreshed look by changing your pillow cases, at least twice a month.
- A top sheet and a bedsheet are two-must have’s in every bedroom, and not just a fitted sheet and a bedsheet!
- When damp, keep the bed sheets hanging in natural sunlight to do away with the dampness and germs.
- When removing your bedsheets from the dryer, and if minutely damp and warm; place the sheets directly on to your bed and fit them well. Come back in an hour and you’d see the sheet crisp and flat, as though the sheets were pressed!
- “Organic cotton” means that that fiber staples were grown the natural way, but there isn’t an assurance that the end product wasn’t treated with chemicals.
- Oeko-Tex is the benchmark of certification that ensures clean and safe bedsheets, sans the incorporation of toxic chemicals in the process of manufacturing bedsheets!

Common types of weaves in bedsheets we find these days
Your skin would notice the difference, the touch and the feel of a bedsheet; thanks to the spin and weave it has gone through. For example-
- If the skin feels a crispy-cool touch, the cotton used in the making of this bedsheet would be Percale- apt for Indian summers and climes!
- If the skin feels a smoothish-softish touch, and should you see a very light shine, the sheet then was made from Sateen, which would be best to use for winters.
- If the fabric is stretchy and soft, the sheet then would have been made from Jersey cotton- apt for winter months, with matching quilt covers.
- If the fabric is fuzzy and warm to feel, thick to touch too- the sheet then was made from flannel and is best for cold climes.
Sleep warm and comfy!
