Even buying from a high street retailer doesn’t guarantee high quality sheets. In this 5-minute guide to buying sheets, you’ll find out what to look for and what to ask a retailer so you can enjoy endless luxury sleeps.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eFirst, let’s answer the question. Are expensive sheets worth buying? Yes, but only if they are expertly made. Making the best linen requires artisanry at every stage of its journey to your bed, from growing and procuring the fibre and spinning the yarn to weaving, cutting and sewing. Care and attention in these processes increases the linen’s overall quality and lifespan and inevitably its price.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eQuestions to ask when buying luxury sheets\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eFabric: what’s it made from? \u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cspan\u003e\u003cbr\u003e \u003c\/span\u003eCotton is an easy winner for bedding. Soft, breathable and easy to wash, it is popular with both homeowners and hotels that need their linen to be luxurious, durable and easy to maintain. However, not all cotton is equal. The most comfortable sheets are made from long staple cotton. This type of natural fibre produces smoother, stronger and more durable sheets than those made from short staple cotton, which tends to be coarser and prone to annoying bobbles.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAsk: does the sheet say it’s made from single ply\/long staple cotton? \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eThread count: what's right for me? \u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cspan\u003e\u003cbr\u003e \u003c\/span\u003eRetailers and manufacturers often use thread count as a measure of quality. However, yarn quality, fabric construction and finish all matter when it comes to how well your bed linen looks, feels and lasts. The term thread count or ‘tc’ as it is also known refers to the number of horizontal and vertical threads per square inch of fabric. A high ‘tc’ typically creates a softer sheet.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe best thread count sheets vary between 200-600. Go higher and you may find the fabric less breathable and harder to wash. Most luxury 5 star hotel sheets are 300tc or 400tc, providing the perfect balance of luxury and practicality.

When it’s dark the body releases melatonin – often referred to as the sleep hormone - which helps us relax and drift off to sleep. When we see light, our body assumes it’s time to be awake and alert, hence why you should ditch your phone before bed.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eTo send the ‘sleepy-time’ message to your brain, make the bedroom completely dark (tip: it needs to be dark enough so you can’t see the other side of the room) and consider your window treatment. Light-blocking curtains will help you stay asleep for longer, whereas light-filtering curtains will make you more likely to wake at the crack of dawn.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cem\u003eExpert tip: “Going for a short walk to catch some sun rays and physically moving before work can support your wake\/sleep cycle” Dr. Kat Lederle, Somnia \u003c\/em\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eNoise\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eNoise can irritate at the best of times but at night it can really get in the way of your Zzz. Unwanted sound can also trigger the release of the fight-or-flight hormone, cortisol, which plays a major role in regulating sleep. The best way to combat external noise is with double glazing. Failing that, white or pink (deeper, lower pitch than white) noise, or noise cancelling headphones can help. If you live in a busy household with hard floors, laying soft rugs or carpet can help to absorb sound.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cem\u003eExpert tip: “Aside from helping to insulate and reduce noise, rugs can tie a scheme together and provide a striking focal point around which to frame the decor.” Emma Hooton, Studio Hooton \u003c\/em\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eFinally... \u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e“Having a calm space promotes better sleep”, says Dr. Kat Lederle in \u003ca href=\"https:\/\/tielleloveluxury.co.uk\/blogs\/blog\/success-starts-with-a-good-nights-sleep\"\u003e\u003cu\u003eSuccess Starts with a Good Night’s Sleep\u003c\/u\u003e\u003c\/a\u003e.
