Full XL Sheet Set- How to Find Sheets That Promote a Good Night's Sleep

Full XL Sheet Set- How to Find Sheets That Promote a Good Night's Sleep

There are several factors that can help promote a good night of sleep.  Only one of these is the sheets that are on the bed.  Sheets vary based on sever characteristics, including thread count, size, and fit.  Size and fit are closely related, but they are not exactly the same thing.  Not all mattress sizes are the same either, making it somewhat difficult sometimes to find just the right match.  For example, not all full size beds are the same.  A standard full size mattress is 75" long; there is an XL version that is 80" long.  These are common in college dorms.  For this type of mattress a full XL sheet set will fit better than a regular full sheet set. 

The size of the sheets, such as a full XL sheet set versus a regular full sheet set really does make a difference.  The fit also makes a difference.  This has more to do with the pocket depth.  All sizes of mattresses can have different depths, or thicknesses.  An extra thick mattress is said to be deep.  Deep pocket sheet fit this type of mattress better, without always slipping off and getting tangled in the night.  Of course, this lack of slipping increases the chances of sleeping well as there is less likelihood of fighting the sheets during the night.

Thread count is another characteristic that should be considered when selecting sheets to promote a good night of sleep.  The thread count affects how smooth the sheets are.  A full XL sheet set that has a thread count of 800 is going to feel much smoother than one that has a thread count of 200 or 250.  The difference might not be noticed so much by someone who has never felt sheets with a high thread count, but once they have, the difference is obvious.  Though they tend to cost more, the durability added by the increased number of threads per square inch helps ensure they will last longer.

Considering all of these factors when selecting sheets will help make sure that sweet dreams will come.  Whether it is finding a full XL sheet set or a set of sheets with an 800 thread count and deep pockets, spending the time to find just the right thing will pay off in the end.  It can take a little longer to find specialized sheet sets, but it is worth the extra time in the long run.

Sleep Well,
