Ah, the summertime, there’s nothing like feeling the warmth of the sun peeking in from your bedroom window as you wake up. Although whenever people talk about summer, it always means one thing: It’s going to be “waking up in a pool of sweat” hot. There are ways to avoid this. 

One major game-changer? 

Choosing the right sheets for the season.

Mainly, the reason for waking up sweaty is because of your sheets. There are different types of bed sheets for specific seasons. But for now, we will be addressing those sheets that are best for the hot season – summer. Not only will we guide you on the ten best bed sheets, but we will also talk about how it’s different from other bed sheets. This guide is all you need in shopping for a bed sheet in the heat of summer.

Design And Construction Of Summer Bed Sheets

For the searing heat that comes during summer, you would need a bed sheet that’s cool and well-ventilated so that you can stay comfortable until you wake up. Changing your bed sheets in the summer can make a huge difference. Aside from the obvious fact of neutralizing your body’s temperature, these bed sheets also provide moisture-wicking technology so that you won’t wake up to your sweat slowly running down your skin. Using the right bed sheet promotes a better waking up experience to get your day started on the right track.

The Fit

Today, there are two types of bed sheets – flat and fitted. The main difference between the two is that fitted bed sheets have elastic bands on its corners while flat bed sheets do not. Additionally, fitted bed sheets make it easier for you to fix your bed in the morning as it does not slip out from under the mattress.

The Fabrics

When shopping for a bed sheet for the summertime, the most popular choice is cotton. 

Why?

Because cotton fabrics are naturally absorbent and are soft to the touch. 

Although you will be presented with five weave styles when shopping for beddings – sateen, percale, cotton, bamboo, and linen.

Sateen

Softer and silkier by touch. It’s mostly distinguished by its shine and drape. These sheets scream luxury without the need of emptying your bank account. One fantastic advantage is these sheets are highly durable, which makes it to have greater value. Although, it is considerably heavier in weight.

Percale

These sheets are more loosely woven and is much more breathable compared to Sateen. On top of that, it’s lighter to sleep on. When it comes to design, it fits best on more modern interior designs with its crisp pattern.

Cotton

Probably the best or at least the popular choice for bed sheets. Why? Because cotton-based beddings are naturally absorbent, soft to the touch, well-ventilated, affordable, and durable. These elements make it the best choice for thrift-seekers.

Linen

These sheets are excellent for both the hot and cold weather. The no-seam design means that the bedding could last a long time with proper care; and since it’s machine washable, it means it requires little to no maintenance whatsoever.

Bamboo

Although they come at a more expensive price tag, bamboo sheets are hypoallergenic, resistant to wrinkles, all-natural, smell-resistant, and are considered smoother than most cotton-based bed sheets. Additionally, these sheets are highly ventilated, keeping you cool through the hot summer nights. These factors make the sheets worth the bigger spending.

The Thread Count and Ply

Two major things you should also consider when buying a bedding is its thread count and ply. Regarding thread count, the higher the number, the softer the sheets. However, the weave style that you choose also affects the softness of the bed sheets. 

Ply is simply the quantity of fibers that are being sewn together while the bed sheet is being constructed. The weight of the bedding also depends on the total amount of ply that was put into the bed sheets.
