In these uncertain times, getting enough sleep is more important than ever. After all, chronic sleep issues have been linked to a range of health problems, including obesity, depression, and even weakened immunity. While you might not be able to reduce your daily stress levels, you can take steps to ensure you’re getting enough sleep on a nightly basis. The fact is that a good night’s rest starts with the place where you lay your head every night, and sleeping on the softest Egyptian cotton sheets can make all the difference. Keep reading to discover how you can find softer bedding and start sleeping easier.

Don’t Trust Thread Count Alone

Shoppers often make the mistake of assuming that a higher thread count directly translates to a better quality sheet. On the contrary, the best Egyptian cotton sheets may not be the ones with the highest thread counts. In fact, many retailers mislead buyers by claiming their bedding has a thread count of 1000 or higher when the truth is that only 800 threads can fit in a square inch of fabric at most. Some sheet suppliers inflate their numbers by using rougher multi-ply yarn, which is actually made of several short strands of thread woven together. On the other hand, high-end bedding suppliers use sheets made with long strands of cotton. Look for a sheet set with a 300-800 single-ply thread count. 

Focus on Fabric Ply

Referring to the number of threads wrapped together to form a single thread, ply plays a significant role in sheet quality. The fact is that multi-ply fabrics result in heavier sheets that are coarse to the touch. Additionally, these sheets are often less breathable than those made with single-ply threads. As a result, they may not be ideal for hot sleepers or those with skin sensitivities and allergies. If you want to snuggle up at night in the softest bedding imaginable, you should opt for single-ply sheets.

Consider the Weave

If you’re after the softest sheets, weave is another important consideration. While some sleepers prefer jersey for its stretch, others enjoy the crisp feel of percale against their skin.

Opt for Egyptian Cotton Sheets

Widely regarded as the top choice in bedding materials, Egyptian or Giza cotton sheets come from the fertile Nile River region. Durable yet soft to the touch, Egyptian cotton sheets are beloved for their comfort and breathability. Because the fabric absorbs moisture, you don’t have to worry about overheating or suffering hot flashes in the night. Moreover, where other fabrics tend to fall apart over time, Egyptian cotton holds up well to washing and drying.
