Sheet Set Options Including 100% Cotton Sheets With Pillowcases

They say cotton is king, and when it comes to shopping for a sheet set with pillowcases there really is no substitute for the softness and durability of 100% cotton sheets.  Before you purchase your next sheet set, here are a few basics about cotton sheets that you should know.  Typical thread count offerings on cotton sheets and pillowcases range from the basic 200 thread count, all the way up to a very high quality 1000 thread count sheet.  The thread count is the total number of threads running in both directions per square inch of the fabric.  High thread count bed sheets of cotton are softer and more luxurious than your typical 200 thread count bed sheets.  A cotton sheet set, which typically includes one or two pillowcases, is a terrific choice to go with bed quilts, comforters and bedspreads.

Of course there are other fabric options to choose from as well when shopping for a new sheet set.  While many bed sheets and pillowcases are made from cotton-rich blends, there are also many other fabrics and combinations of fabrics used.  Percale is a type of fabric used in the manufacture of most sheets and other bed linens, and it can be 100% cotton, a 50/50 blend of cotton and polyester, or a blend of other fabrics.  Silk and satin are desirable sheet set fabrics as well, and have characteristics that can make them a popular accessory to any luxury bedding ensemble.

Shopping for a new sheet set is really a matter of personal preference and taste.  Whether it's cotton sheets you prefer, or one of the many other fabrics; our featured online merchants can help you find just the sheet set that's right for you.
