Looking for the perfect bedsheet? Well, you’re in luck, as in this article, we’ve put together a list of the best bedsheets in NZ for you!

It can be hard and even confusing to pick the ideal bedsheet. But we’ll  walk you through the factors to consider so that you can easily choose from our list of top products later on.

Without further ado, let’s begin.

What to Look for in a Bedsheet

Not all bedsheets are the same in terms of texture, feel, and resilience. Some are soft and cosy, crisp and tight, while others are strong and durable.

But what makes them have those distinct qualities?

Let’s take a closer look at each of the factors to consider here:

1. Fabric Type

Fabric type pertains to the base cloth your bedsheet is constructed upon. Here are the most common fabric types for bedsheets you’ll find:

Pure Cotton	It comes as no surprise that cotton is the most widely used fabric because it’s soft to the touch, durable, and moisture-wicking so you don’t wake up drenched in sweat.
Egyptian Cotton	Thanks to a long staple or fibre length, Egyptian cotton is the softest and the most durable kind of cotton. Besides that, it doesn’t lint or pill as much as the other fibres.
Bamboo/Cotton	This is a great combination. Bamboo is lightweight, silky-soft, and hypoallergenic while cotton is soft, breathable, and easy to wash.   What’s more, bamboo grows abundantly and doesn’t require pesticides and chemicals, thus benefiting the environment.
Cotton/Polyester	Polyester is a synthetic and durable fibre. Blending it with cotton makes the fabric free from wrinkles, fast to dry, and last a long time.   As such, it’s great to use in weekend homes and kids’ bedrooms, plus it’s more affordable than pure cotton fabric too!
Linen	Linen fabric is soft, elegant, and breathable, keeping you cool in summer and warm in winter. It is delicate, though, and requires extra care when you’re using and washing it.
Linen/Cotton	Linen is very breathable and hypoallergenic while cotton is soft and absorbent. You get both of their properties if they are combined.

2. Thread Count

When you’re shopping for bedsheets or bedsheet sets, you will encounter this. Thread count is the number of horizontal and vertical yarns per square inch.

The higher the thread count, the softer and more durable the fabric. You should aim for at least 250TC or around 300 to 400TC, which experts agree provide the right balance of comfort and durability.

Note, however, that a high TC is not a good indicator of quality.

It could be that the supplier only twists the yarns together to qualify them as having a high thread count, and your bedsheet might easily tear, wrinkle, stretch, or pill.

3. Cotton Weave

Let’s say you’ve chosen a piece of fabric for your bedsheet with the right thread count. The next thing you have to do is to pick the weave.

For cotton, these weaves can be:

• Percale – Percale gives a tight and crisp feel to your bedsheet. That is explained by the fact that its weave involves putting one yarn atop another, giving a strong and consistent feel.

• Sateen – Not to be confused with satin. A sateen weave is comparable to velvet with its smooth and runny surface produced by having more vertical than horizontal threads.

• Flannelette – Flannelette is a cotton weave that’s softly spun and brushed on the sides. So if you want a soft and cosy bedsheet, this is a great choice, especially to use during the cooler months.

4. Depth

Do you have a high mattress or pillow topper? If you do, you should get a larger fitted sheet so it can fit.

But you have to first measure them so you can get the correct size, of course!

5. Style

Finally, you can pick the design of the bedsheet you want or that will complement your room’s decor. One suggestion is to get a bedsheet set that comes with flat and fitted sheets and matching pillowcases.
