How To Find The Best Bedding At The Best Prices

Welcome back, I have a great post today on how to find the best bedding at the best prices!

It has been a bit since I’ve been on but I am back and can’t wait to share the fun projects and recipes I have been creating!

So come along and let me share with you how to find the best bedding at the best prices!

Fall and Winter are a great time to find the best bedding items and Spring and Summer!

There are great seasonal sales on bedding at the start and end of each season. I find I like the spring and summer bedding sales best. I think it’s because I like the light colors and lighter fabric, but fall has some beautiful bedding too and fall is my favorite season!

But first, let’s talk about what makes great bedding and then I’ll share with you some facts I have learned and how to find the best bedding at the best prices!

What Makes Great Bedding:

There are many bedding fabrics and materials to choose from. So let’s talk about some of these choices which will help determine which is best for you!

The Best Bedding That Keeps You Cooler In The Warmer Months

I like linen or cotton sheets for my bed during the warmer months of spring and summer. I like to sleep in a cool bed. If you’re a hot sleeper you may like linen bedding best. It feels even cooler on the skin than cotton, and linen bed sheets have a looser weave which allows air to flow through better. Sheets that keep the body cool when sleeping are designed from fabrics like microfiber, linen, and bamboo. These fabrics for bedding can help keep your body at the right temperature for a restful night’s sleep. Bedding that keeps you cooler in the warmer months will depend on the fabric.

Moisture-wicking and breathability are important for cooling sheets during the warmer months. There are other materials available for hot sleepers such as cotton, linen, silk, tencel, and bamboo-based textiles. These are all great materials for sheets and bedding during our spring and summer seasons.

The Best Bedding At The Best Prices That Keep You Warmer In The Cooler Months

When choosing sheets and bedding for colder temperatures and if you are like me, I like to feel warm and cozy in these months. What makes the best sheets cozier for cooler fall and winter months? Warm fleece, heavy-weight cotton, and flannel along with jersey are great choices for bedding during the winter months. These fabrics will keep you snug as a bug during the cooler weather. When it comes to fabric for the winter months fleece seems to be the chosen material. The thickness of a fleece or flannel sheet is measured in grams per square meter, or GSM. A good winter fleece sheet will weigh at least 170 grams per square meter. If you’re a hot sleeper you would go less per gram so the sheet has a lighter feel.

The Materials For The Best Bedding

Cotton Sheets are a great choice for sheets when the weather turns cooler or during the warmer months. Cotton is softer and hypoallergenic, great for the allergy sufferers. When choosing cotton during cooler temps look for a higher thread count. As a rule the higher the thread count number the thicker the sheet. Anything above 400 thread count in a cotton sheet would be good for a cooler month sheet.

Flannel Sheets are a very soft bedding during the cooler weather. The best flannel sheets would be made of 100 percent cotton. Flannel sheets can peel, which can feel uncomfortable to the skin. To keep sheets from peeling wash on a delicate warm or cool water setting. It will also expand the lifespan of the sheets. The first wash cycle should be done with white vinegar and then after a small amount of light detergent. Some companies do a dry brushing of the sheets which helps stop the pilling.

Egyptian Cotton Sheets are made traditionally of long-staple or extra-long staple cotton. Most Egyptian Cotton bedding/sheets are made with percale or sateen construction. When making Egyptian Cotton Bedding the sheets are made with a weave. Long fibers make stronger, softer sheets than shorter fibers, which tend to rub against each other, creating friction and causing pilling. Use the same washing cycle as you would for flannel sheets and bedding. Egyptian Cotton sheets are great for the warmer season.

Fleece Sheets get softer with each wash. The lighter-weight fleece sheets would measure 150 grams per square meter of fabric weight, making them one of the lighter options for bedding. This measurement would be good for the hot sleeper, this also is a great weight during the cooler weather.

Microfiber Sheets are soft, durable, and affordable, they can also be warm, allergenic, and harmful to the environment. Most stores carry this material in bedding because of its affordability.

Bamboo-Based Textiles Bamboo sheets are a soft and silky bedding option made with bamboo plant fiber. The bamboo sheet has breathability, softness, and durability, which make these a popular choice for sheets. Bamboo Linen bedding does not use chemicals. Bamboo Rayon does use chemicals in the process when weaving the sheets. So you may want to read the material tab before purchasing if this is a concern to you.

The Best Sheets For The Best Price

How to find the best sheets for the best price is all about reading the information on the packaging of the sheets. Bedding can be expensive so doing a little homework and choosing material wisely will save you money and time. Deciding what type of comfort you are craving or, what feels best in bedding for you is important in finding the best sheets and bedding for the best price.

Places I like To Shop For The Best Bedding Prices

At the start of the post, I had said that the beginning or the end of a season is the best time to find the best pricing on bedding. Each season brings on new pricing and sales at many department stores and bedding stores. Macy’s has seasonal sales as does Target, and JCPenny. I can always find good prices at TJ Max, or Marshalls. Walmart has its Better Homes and Gardens line which offers great prices and quality bedding essentials. Also online at these stores, I find many quality bedding items. Don’t forget Amazon, you’ll need to read the description and I like to refer to the comments about the item. I like the spring and summer bedding sales best because I like cotton and linen bedding and I also like the lighter fabrics and colors, so I have more of these bedding items.

I have found queen sheet sets in Egyptian Cotton for $35.00 at Marshalls, TJ Max, and Target. Many of my favorite bedding comes from these stores. Tuesday morning is now an online store but I have shopped and purchased many bedding items from this store. Pottery Barn is another great place to find quality bedding, although a little pricey but when they have their sales they are great sales!

Also don’t forget to check the clearance aisle in a store and the end caps. There are always great bedding pieces to find on the end caps!

So many places to purchase the best bedding at the best prices!

As we start a new season search online or head to one of the stores I’ve shared and create a comfortable and cozy bed for a great night’s sleep! I love online shopping too!

Soon I will share links to great bedding with affordable prices in my Shop My Home tab.
