How to recognize high-quality bedding
There is nothing better than sleeping in a cozy and comfortable bed. This also includes the right bedding. High-quality bedding is not only pleasant on the skin, but also durable and easy to care for. But how do you recognize high-quality bedding?
In this blog post, we'll give you some tips on what to look for when buying bedding.
Washable at 60°C
First of all, it is important that your bedding can be washed at at least 60 degrees without shrinking or deforming. This is particularly important for hygienic reasons, as bacteria and germs are killed at this temperature.
Zipper
Another important criterion is the zipper. This should have a metal slider, as this is much more durable than a plastic slider. In addition, bedding with a metal zipper is easier to open and close because it "glides" more smoothly.
The nose plays along
When unpacking the bedding, you should make sure that it only smells like new textile. Bedding should not have a chemical smell , as this can indicate the use of harmful chemicals. So, smell the bedding before buying and make sure it doesn't smell of chemicals.
TIP: Our bedding is awarded with selected certifications such as OEKO-TEX ®-Standard 100, MADE IN GREEN, GOTS and amfori-BCSI. These certificates stand for an ecological and socially responsible production of the bedding.
Material
Another important criterion is the material of the bedding. High-quality bedding should not contain polyester, microfiber or other petroleum-based fibers. Instead, you should opt for natural fibers such as cotton or Tencel. These materials are breathable, skin-friendly, and ensure a comfortable sleeping climate.
Fabric density
A final criterion you should consider when buying bedding is the density of the fabric. The bedding should be densely woven to ensure a comfortable feel on the skin and high durability. Furthermore, the bedding should not be transparent (this also depends on the colors, of course), as this indicates inferior quality.
Why do we believe that the quality of the right bedding plays a very important role? You spend about a third of your life in bed, so you should invest in high-quality bedding. Good bedding can also help you sleep better and wake up refreshed.
Another point that plays a role here is the correct care of the bedding. It is important to wash the bedding regularly to keep it hygienic and clean. Always follow the washing instructions on the care label of the bedding and preferably use detergents that are suitable for the materials.
When you wash the bedding for the first time, it can be helpful to wash it separately. This way, you avoid colors or fibers from other clothes transferring to the bedding.
In summary, high-quality bedding should be made of natural fibers such as cotton or Tencel, be washable at at least 60 degrees, have a metal zipper, and be densely woven. When buying, also look for certifications such as OEKO-TEX ®-Standard 100, MADE IN GREEN, GOTS and amfori-BCSI to ensure that the bedding has been produced sustainably, environmentally friendly, and "fairly".
