1. The quality of the fabric used
The fabric of high-quality fabric always has a high density of weave, will not be translucent, will not have knots. It is smooth, soft, pleasant to the touch. High-quality natural fabric does not steam, it is well ventilated, does not cause allergic reactions.
2. Types of fabric for bed linen
When choosing underwear, you should prefer natural fabrics. Cotton, linen, silk. The most common is cotton, which, in turn, is divided into many subspecies. The main ones used for bedding are:
- Calico - the most economical and simple option;
- Ranfors - allows you to use bright prints with lots of small details;
- Satin - strong, practical, shiny, soft, gentle to the touch. Cotton silk, so it is called for the density of weave and smoothness. Withstands a large number of washes.
3. Practicality of care
The simpler the fabric is in care, the more pleasure it brings to modern housewives. This criterion includes the washing conditions (usually must be indicated on the label), the drying speed, the ironing needs and the effort required to perform it.
4. Seams
The manufacturer of quality linen always makes double closed seams. Checked on the inside of the pillowcase or blanket. If the seam is open or, worse, has unswept edges - the linen is far from quality. Quality linen is made of a single canvas and has no seams in the middle of the product. Pay attention to the threads. They should be matched strictly to the fabric, should be strong, all ends trimmed.
5. Smells
High-quality fabric with a strong dye will not have any unpleasant odors. Feel free to check this feature when you buy. If there are odors of paint or some chemicals, it indicates that the use of poor quality paint, linen will fade and lose color, cause an allergic reaction. Quality textiles smell exclusively of textiles. It cannot be confused with anything.
6. Packaging and label, quality certificate
A manufacturer of quality linen never saves on packaging. Makes it nice to look at, reliable, spectacular. Informs on a label all necessary information: the size, a complete set, fabric structure, its density and contact data. A sign of quality linen can be the presence of a certificate of conformity of the international standard OEKO-TEX® STANDARD 100.
7. Design and palette
In today's conditions, the design and palette of lingerie can be chosen for every taste. You can adjust to the character and temperament of the person, you can take into account the color palette and design available in the room. It is important that those who sleep on it like the linen. After all, this is the main criterion.
Finally, it is worth noting that really high-quality bed linen can not be cheap. Which is also a certain criterion when choosing.
