Knowing When to Change Your Sheets

1. Knowing When to Change Your Sheets Home decorating is something that the majority of people enjoy doing, and it is always fun heading to the shops with a vision in mind and then coming home and bringing that vision to life in your own space. The expensive nature of the furniture and home décor means that we don’t often redecorate, however, the only room where this might not hold true is the bedroom. Every season new designs and trends emerge for bed linen, and it is one of the easiest and most inexpensive ways to change the entire look and feel of the room. It has been said that change is as good as a holiday, and although it may not be feasible to alter your entire bedroom theme every season, it is one of the areas where you can breathe new life into the home once every year or so. Time goes by fairly quickly, and it may be years before you realise that your bed linen is no longer up to scratch. However, there are certain tell-tale signs that it is time to invest in some new ones. The linen on your bed is so much more than just a covering for the mattress, duvet, and pillows. Bed sheets help you function at an optimal level because it helps you sleep better. The sheets that cover the mattress and the duvet are some of the most important parts of a good night’s sleep. This is because the optimal temperature for a good night’s rest that includes a generous percentage of REM sleep is between 15 and 19°C, or 59 and 66.2°F. If you did not have bedsheets, the friction of your body and the mattress as you move around at night, as all of us do, will generate excessive heat causing you to sweat and in so doing not get adequate hours of deep sleep. The bedsheets offer a barrier between your body and the mattress which means that there is a protectant, and less heat will be generated. If you want to invest in your sleep, it is best to shell out some cash for bed sheets made of linen as linen is one of the most absorbent materials that wick moisture away from the body, keeping you cool and dry. It is widely accepted that you should change your sheets at least once every two years, but there are some instances where your sheets will tell you that it is time for some new ones. If your sheets have become transparent or threadbare, this is a definite indication that the fabric has reached the end of its tether and needs to retire. If your sheets have become rough to the touch or have a lingering smell that no amount of detergent can rinse out, then it’s time to invest in some new ones. In this case, it is also worth noting that linen can help you out here as well, as linen is naturally moisture-wicking, and it has the unique property of

If you are tired of waking up with itchy skin, or if you have a rash that won’t go away, it could be your bed sheets screaming at you that it’s time for a change. Again, linen would be your best choice for some new sheets as it is made from flax, which is naturally antibacterial, antifungal, and hypoallergenic, making it ideal for those with sensitive skin or allergies. Your bedsheets play a large and important role in your day-to-day life as they are one of the features of your bedroom that aids in you getting a good night’s sleep. That is why it is so important to invest in good-quality linen bed sheets to ensure you wake up refreshed every single morning.
