When you buy bed linen online, there are a lot of important factors to consider such as – size, material and the care required for it. If you keep an eye out for these few things while shopping for bed linen online, you can be sure that you make the right choice for your home.

Here, we look into the factor of Size and Thread Count

Size

Are you choosing bed linen for a king size (72” X 80”)bed, a queen size (60” x 78”) bed or a single (36” x 74”) bed? This is something that you will have to take into account.

Thread count or GSM

Thread count refers to the total number of threads woven into the bedsheet or the pillow or duvet cover. The higher the thread count, the softer and finer the fabric of the bed linen. Meanwhile, GSM or the grams per square meter measurement stands for the weight of the fabric woven into per meter of your quilts. A higher GSM indicates a plusher, more comfortable quilt.
