Tips for Maintaining and Extending the Lifespan of Your Bedding

So, you finally find your perfect bedding pieces and invest in the necessary essentials so you can have a restful sleep every night. It’s probably important to you that you keep them for as long as possible so you can always rely on your sleep, as you should. Unfortunately, constant use and washing can deteriorate your sheets, comforters, blankets and other cozy necessities pretty quickly. However, there are certain tips you can follow to help keep your linens lasting for years without losing their quality. Take a look at some of our go-to tips for maintaining your bedding.

Store Properly

When your sheets are not in use, it’s important that you store them properly each and every time. A good habit is to fold them neatly and store in a fabric bag or pouch in a cool, dry place. This will ensure that the linens won’t lose their texture, durability, and color. Keeping it in a bag will eliminate dust and debris from getting on the sheets.

Wash Carefully

It’s crucial that you pay attention to the care instructions that come with your bedding. Not all linens are the same and thus, shouldn’t be treated as such. However, a good rule of thumb is to wash with cold water on a delicate cycle. Avoid harsh detergents, softeners, and dryer sheets and dry on low if you choose to use the dryer. Otherwise, line drying is a great way to keep them at their best. Be mindful of embroidery and prints when ironing and handle them with care to enhance the durability.

Choose Quality Bedding

You can take really good care of your linens for years, but still find pilling, fraying discoloration and other unwanted defects if your sheets weren’t good quality to begin with. Cotton, especially Egyptian cotton, is the best material you can sleep on. Breathable, soft and durable, cotton will last you a lifetime if cared for properly. Extra-long staple Egyptian cotton is the highest form with strong, durable fibers that can withstand constant rubbing and washing. So, if you are looking for a great fabric that you can be comfortable in and rely on for years, look for Egyptian cotton sheets and duvet covers.

General Love & Care

Overall, just make sure to give you sheets the love and care that you want them to give you. Sleeping is a form of self-care, so be sure to treat your linens with care regardless of the fabric or material. Store, use, and wash them with the utmost care for bedding that you can count on to give you your best sleep yet.
