#7 – Sateen is the same as satin – Although the two words sound similar, they definitely are not the same and many people do get them confused.

Sateen is a type of weave made from cotton which places more threads on the surface, thus creating a softer feel (hand). Satin is also a type of weave but it is made up of silks and nylons rather than cotton. A satin weave creates a very slick finished product. Sateen makes for a wonderful bed sheet provided that the cotton quality is good.  (See myth #1 below).

#6 – Washing & drying your sheets in high heat is best – Many feel that washing their sheets in hot water and drying them in high heat is best for sanitizing. This is true to a point but you must be careful especially when your sheets are made of 100% cotton. Washing and drying your cotton sheets in high temperatures can lead to shrinking and wrinkling. (See #5). If your sheets are nice and snug now, consistent high temp washing and drying can shrink them to the point where they may no longer fit.

#5 – 100% cotton is wrinkle free – There are different types of cottons, weaves and finishes that can attribute to how much wrinkling you get but 100% cotton sheets are not totally wrinkle free. One of the most important factors is the way you launder your sheets. Recommended wash/dry settings for higher quality bed sheets is wash on medium heat, tumble dry on low. Also, make sure to wash your sheets separately from other items. These simple steps can greatly reduce the wrinkles in your cotton sheets.

#4 – Dual ply is better than single ply – Ahhh, the old “more is better” mentality. To put it simply, less is actually better when it comes to the ply count of your cotton sheets. Dual ply is created by twisting two shorter (usually lower quality) threads together to create one long thread. This twisting together method can create a lesser quality product and possible inflated thread counts. (See #1).

#3 – Split king size is just two regular twins placed together – This is one of the most common myths in the specialty linen market today. Although close in dimensions, a split king size sleep system requires two twin XL fitted sheets not regular twin size. The differences in dimensions are as follows: twin size = 38″ x 75″, twin xl size = 38″ x 80″. Pretty close but as many have found out, not close enough. View our sheet dimension chart.

#2 – The higher the thread count, the softer your sheets – Many factors go into how soft a sheet will become such as the type of weave, quality of cotton, length of the cotton, amount of ply & workmanship. These all play a part in how your sheets feel. Thread count alone does not guarantee a soft, luxurious sheet. This brings us to our #1 myth below.

#1 – Higher thread count always equals better quality – The number one myth and the least understood factor in choosing quality bed sheets is the thread count. Many consumers believe that the higher the thread count number, the better quality the sheet. This is not true and we have a detailed article explaining “The truth about thread count” that will help you understand thread count and it’s relation to the quality of a bed sheet.

Do you have any comments or questions? We would love to hear from you!

Just recently (December 4^th 2007) one of our team members caught a television show on PBS titled “Good Night with the Sleep Doctor Michael Breus, PhD”.

It was a fascinating show in which Dr. Breus explained the major sleep problems facing American’s today. It is estimated that 36 million American’s have a problem getting through the day simply due to sleep deprivation and insomnia. That is a pretty large percentage of our population. Are you getting enough sleep?

Dr. Breus makes some great points in his presentation and he even talks about the importance of good quality sheets! This is something that we are pretty familiar with : ) As many of you know, there is nothing like a set of great fitting, cozy bed sheets to help you fall asleep faster: Hard To Find Bed Sheets

Sometimes you are unaware of how something so simple like bed sheets can make such a huge difference in your sleep quality until you actually compare a great luxury sheet and a cheaper plain sheet set. There is a difference.

It really is true – The more comfortable you are, the more likely you are to fall asleep quicker and stay snoozing throughout the night. Great sheets of course are just one factor in many that can be combined to help you get a better nights rest.

The Dr. also points out that in 7 years, your mattress will double in weight due to sweat, dust mites and oil from your skin: The Bottom Line. That is incredible but very believable. After all, human perspiration itself averages 2 pints per day and it is estimated that 2 million dust mites thrive in an unprotected mattress.

It is the inhalation of dead dust mites and their droppings that can cause allergies, asthma and rhinitis which can make it difficult to fall asleep. We do offer a product (dust mite protection) which can help with this problem whether you have a new or older mattress.

(Be sure to check out the Doctors website for some tips on buying a new mattress)

All in all, it was a great show. If you missed it, you may be able to catch another airing in the future by checking your local PBS listings or clicking over to Dr. Breus’ official website shown below.

The Hard To Find Sheets Team
