Summer bed sheets: how to choose the right ones?
Guide to choosing fabrics, colors and sizes for summer bed sheets
Sheets, as well as the mattress and, in general, bed
linen, are indispensable elements to ensure a quality sleep, since
they directly affect the well-being and comfort during rest.
Choosing the right sheets is especially crucial in summer,
when high temperatures can disturb sleep and make it less
pleasant.
Summer bed sheets should be carefully selected, taking into account both aesthetic and functional aspects. Lightweight and breathable materials such as cotton or linen are the most suitable in the warmer months because they favor better perspiration and excellent moisture management, keeping the skin cool and dry at night.
The choice of sheets is also important to create the right atmosphere in the bedroom and make it more cozy. The best sheets for summer are those with light colors and floral patterns, which can give a touch of brightness and visual freshness to the sleeping area, helping to create a more relaxing and comfortable environment. Among the different proposals of bed linen signed Blumarine Home you can find a wide choice of summer sheets, of different materials, colors and patterns, perfect for furnishing bedrooms in both classic and modern style.
Let's see together some useful tips to choose the most suitable summer sheets for you and your sleeping area, and ensure you a comfortable and refreshing sleep even in the hottest months.
What are the coolest sheets for summer?
As we have seen, the coolest sheets for summer are those made with natural, breathable and light fabrics, which promote air circulation and sweat evaporation, keeping the body dry and cool at night. Among the most recommended materials for summer sheets there are definitely:
- cotton, one of the most used natural fibers for bed linen due to its exceptional breathability and ability to absorb moisture. This material is ideal for summer because it allows air to circulate freely, favoring the evaporation of sweat. Cotton is hypoallergenic, so an ideal choice for those with sensitive skin or allergies. In addition, it is durable and retains its softness and freshness even after numerous washes. Cotton sheets offer a feeling of comfort and pleasant well-being on the skin, ensuring restful and comfortable nights even in the hottest months;
- cotton percale, a cotton variety with a particularly dense and uniform texture (usually with a count of threads greater than 200 per square inch). This texture gives the fabric a smooth surface, pleasant to the touch but also highly breathable, allowing optimal air circulation. Thanks to its light structure, cotton percale is able to dissipate body heat, maintaining an ideal temperature during sleep. Cotton percale sheets are particularly appreciated also for their resistance and durability: they can in fact retain their softness washing after washing, without shrinking or discoloration. Cotton percale is the ideal choice for those looking for a fresh and light feeling on the skin during hot summer nights;
- cotton satin, a high quality fabric that combines the freshness of cotton with a silky and shiny finish. Unlike percale, satin has a thicker texture that gives the fabric a particularly luxurious and elegant finish, but also a high softness. Its smooth surface reduces friction with the skin, contributing to a feeling of freshness and lightness to the touch. Despite the thicker texture, the cotton satin retains good breathable properties, helping to regulate body temperature and preventing heat accumulation. Cotton sateen sheets are also extremely durable and can retain their shine and softness for a long time. Thanks to their characteristics, they are ideal for those who want to give a touch of elegance to the bedroom, without sacrificing comfort.
How to choose summer sheets
Choosing the most suitable summer sheets for your needs
requires a careful consideration of several factors, which go
beyond the simple selection of fabric. In order to ensure
restful and comfortable nights during the warmer months, you
will also need to consider other elements that could affect the
quality of your rest, first of all the size of the
sheets.
The sheets should fit perfectly to the mattress, adhering without excessively tightening or forming annoying folds. Make sure to carefully measure the mattress before buying and make sure you choose the right size sheets. Too small sheets may slip off during the night, while too large sheets may twist and make sleep less comfortable. To prevent them from moving at night, we recommend that you opt for models with elastic corners, which provide greater stability and adherence to the mattress.
Another aspect not to be overlooked is the color of the sheets. Light colors, such as white, ivory, pearl gray or pastel shades, are most suitable for summer sheets. These colors reflect sunlight and help maintain a cooler temperature in the room, favoring a more comfortable sleep. On the contrary, dark colors tend to absorb heat and are therefore more suitable for the winter season.
As for the design, we recommend that you prefer sheets
with simple and delicate patterns, which recall nature, the
sea and summer, avoiding too elaborate prints or too bright colors
that could be excessive and disturb sleep. Thin stripes, polka
dots, small floral patterns or essential geometries are elegant
and refined options, which can adapt to any decor style and create
a relaxing and cozy atmosphere in the bedroom.
Ease of washing is another important aspect to consider
when choosing summer sheets, which require a higher frequency of
washing than winter ones due to increased sweating. In general, it
is better to opt for high quality and natural fabrics, such as
cotton, that can be easily washed in the washing machine and
that withstand frequent washing well, maintaining their softness
and freshness over time.
