| Satin | Weave of wool, cottons, acetate, polyester, silk or other materials. Extremely smooth and sleek. |
Priority 3- Thread Count
Thread Count refers to the number of horizontal and vertical threads in one square inch of cloth. More the thread count, denser is the weave of the material. This is an important factor as density influences the softness and durability of the fabric. However, a good thread count does not guarantee the fabric to be the best as the final finishing to the material also plays an important role in its overall texture and quality. You must choose the linen with more than 200 as the thread count.
Priority 4- Pattern
The bedsheet put by you plays an important role in defining the bedroom interior design. If the walls have bold colors or patterns, it is wise to you subtle colored and patterned bed sheets in complementary colors as they don’t clash with each other. In monochromatic spaces you can work around contrast or bold patterns.
