4 Mistakes To Avoid When Buying Bedsheets

 Bedsheets, pillow cases, rugs, bathrobes and towels…these are needed in multiples in every household. Buying them online is the best option, since you can browse for a number of products and buy the ones that appeal to you the most. The purchases are delivered to your house and you can start using them right away – unless you buy the wrong items altogether.

Is it possible to make mistakes when buying bedsheets? It is, so do read on to avoid the 4 most common ones:

#1 Not buying 100% cotton bedding.

There are various materials you can choose to buy bed linen in. Linen for the bed, bath and rugs are all available in materials like cotton, cotton-silk blend, cotton-polyester blend, etc. However, cotton bedding is the best, as are bath linen and rugs. It is a versatile and easy material to maintain and use daily. Cotton offers little heat retention, which is a helpful property for the Indian climate. Besides, cotton bedsheets, towel, dohars and rug last for several years if maintained properly as per the manufacturer’s instructions. You can buy them from premium bed and bath linen brands in India – the best brands have anti-viral, anti-bacterial and hygro-cotton bedding options too.

 

#2 Not checking the mattress and pillow sizes before placing the order.

This might seem like a rookie mistake – and it is – but it results in the wrong size of bedsheet and pillow cases being bought and delivered. Most often, people are so enamoured of a particular design and colour that they don’t check if they are buying a single or a double size of bedding. This might happen when buying comforters and dohar, too. Major brands retailing bed linen in India do mention the sizes in the product title itself, but if you still miss it and buy the wrong product, you might need to initiate an exchange with the online store.

#3 Not getting dohars and comforters to match the user’s preferences.

Buying bed linen is all about matching the user’s preferences with the product. There are scores of designs and colours of bedding available for sale online – but only a few items match your own sensibilities. This applies to buying bathrobes, towels and rugs, too. Only when one likes these products is one likely to use them often. You must be especially careful when buying items for children – they are extremely picky and will rebel against using bedsheets and dohars that they do not like. Always pick kids bedsheets and comforters from brands like sell exclusive children’s collections in bed linen. These are made for smaller sizes and attractive designs. When buying for adult users, first ascertain if they would like a single or double piece of bed linen, before selecting a colour and design that they will appreciate.

#4 Not buying sets of bed and bath linen during festive offer sales.

Bed and bath linen are required in every household. And yet, most people buy them only when the need arises. This is a mistake – the best deals on linen for bed, bath and rugs are available during the festive season in the latter half of the year. Buying during the sale period gets you access to new stocks at discounted prices, so you can buy more for less money. Besides, you get combo sets of bedsheets and comforters, for example, or packs of towels of different kinds. These make for excellent gifts for your loved ones.
