Full Size Bedding Buying Guidelines

Looking to purchase full-size bedding, but don’t know what to buy? Then you came to the right place! There are many factors that you should consider when purchasing a new full-size bedding set. This article will walk you through important steps that will make your purchasing experience easier, and allow you to walk away knowing exactly what full-size bedding is right for you!

When purchasing bedding for your home, you want to get the most for your money. You want to buy a good quality product that is going to stand the test of time, while not breaking the bank. Knowing a few of these tips will help inform you of  the different aspects of full-size bedding, and direct you to the best purchase to fit your budget.

• Thread Count- thread count refers to the number of threads, both vertical and horizontal, in one-inch square of fabric. Two of the major factors that affect thread count are the ply and thickness of the threads that are used. Ply means how many threads are wrapped together to make a single thread.
• The thickness of the treads is important because finer threads not only produce smoother fabrics, but by using them more threads will fit into a square inch. The higher the thread count, the higher quality of bedding.

• Fabric - when choosing the fabric of your full-size bedding, you should refer to the label. You need to make sure you are getting what you pay for. Many times manufacturers will label fabric as cotton, when in fact it is a mixture of cotton and synthetic fibers. It is important to detect the actual percentage of cotton being used in the fabric.


• Accessories - adding accessories to your full-size bedding, such as pillows and cushions, not only makes your bed more comfortable, but adds personality and style to any decor. Choose contrasting colors from the style of your room, or compliment the color of your full-size bedding.

• Mattress Pocket Depth - to ensure the best fit of your full-size bedding sheets, be sure to measure the depth of your mattress pocket. Start your measurement from the highest point on the mattress, and end at the lowest point.


• Pilling - pilling happens when groups of short or broken fibers tangle together causing “balls” to form making the surface uneven and uncomfortable. Choosing a high count cotton sheet helps to deter pilling. One popular full-size bedding material is high count cotton with a satin finish.

By following some of these guidelines, you should now be able to determine the quality of a product, by knowing what thread count it offers. You should decide what thread count is right for your full-size bedding selection in comparison to your budget. You can measure your mattress for the best fit of your new bedding, and know what fabric is right for you. Follow your own style and personality when choosing accessories to match your theme, and enhance the beauty of your new full-size bedding!
