Bed Sheets for All Seasons


When the seasons change, your first instinct might not be to change your sheets, but you should stop and think about it. Sheets come in so many different types, and each type works best for a set season. Since some materials retain heat and others make you feel cooler, changing your sheets is a simple way to keep your body at the perfect temperature all year long. From silk and satin to flannel and tee shirt materials, each type is specially designed to make you feel completely comfortable, regardless of the temperatures outside.

Winter brings cold temperatures, snow, and ice to your area. When the temperature drops, the best feeling in the world is to curl in bed under your comforter. If you use the wrong type of sheets, you risk feeling even colder. Silk sheets and satin sheets feel nice and cool on your skin, but also retain the cold air surrounding your bed. Flannel sheets are a much better option because flannel retains heat. Slipping under a flannel sheet during winter is like slipping into your favorite pair of pajamas. The flannel acts as insulation because it traps your body heat under your comforter or blanket, making you feel toasty and warm.

During the summer months, opt for bamboo sheets. Bamboo sheets feel smooth against your skin and keep your body from feeling too warm. The sheets are significantly softer than other materials, including cotton. Some users even claim that the sheets feel just as soft as silk or cashmere, but are less expensive. Bamboo sheets stay cool to the touch, even when the air temperature is high. If you use the sheets with air conditioning, you might even notice that the sheets retain the coolness of the surrounding air for hours after exposure.

Do not forget to change your sheets during the fall and spring. In the spring months, you want sheets that stay warm during the early days, but stay cool when spring begins turning into summer. Tee shirt sheets are a great choice for spring. Manufacturers make the sheets from the same material as tee shirts. The sheets keep you warm on cold spring days, but help you stay cool once the temperatures rise. During the fall months, opt for fleece sheets. The fleece material works with your body temperature. The sheets keep you warm or cold, depending on the temperature in the room.

Sleep Well,

Rose
