COTTON BEDSHEET
Cotton sheets are the most common because they are the most breathable and cool. Cotton is a natural fabric made from cotton. Being natural, it is also hypoallergenic. Cotton sheets are soft and breathable at times. Cotton bedsheets are also best because they do not get hot and stay cool. You can wash cotton bedsheets comfortably in the washing machine or by hand.
Cotton also has its own types:
1. Egyptian:-
This is the best type of cotton because it is durable and sometimes soft, in comparison to other types, it is the highest in quality, which is why it is the most expensive.
2. Pima:-
Pima is considered to be the best cotton after Egyptian cotton as it is always soft and smooth. Pima bedsheets give a luxurious feel to your bedroom. Its price is not as high as Egyptian but at the same time, you get a good quality Egyptian
3. Flannel:-
This cotton is a bit thick, so it is considered best for winter.
4. Upland:–
This cotton is of slightly lower quality than Pima and Egyptian, but it is also soft and durable. It is also the most common cotton used in cotton, so its cost is also lower.

The special thing about this cotton is its stretchable nature. These bed sheets are sometimes soft and sometimes it is easy to wash them. Over time these bedsheets become loose and lose their durability.

MICROFIBER BED SHEETS
Microfiber is only a type of polyester. Polyester is tightly woven before being converted into microfibres. Microfiber, being softer than polyester and less breathable than cotton, is the best option for winter. Microfiber makes your room look like a hotel room; your room becomes luxurious and elegant.

The maintenance of silk is always high, but it cannot be denied that these bed sheets give a royal and sophisticated touch to your room.

LINEN BED SHEETS
Linen is also made from a natural fiber, first, the fibers are extracted from the flax plant, and this fiber is spun into yarn, after making yarn this yarn is thoroughly woven, and then the final product is our cloth. While soft, linen can sometimes be comfortable and durable.

SATIN BED SHEETS
We all know how luxurious satin is, if you lay a satin bedsheet in your bedroom, then your room gets a royal touch.
Satin is made from synthetic fiber and has its own glamorous feel. While buying satin bed sheets, one thing must be kept in mind: those bedsheets are knitted or woven.
Sateen woven bed sheets are smoother and softer than ever

FITTED BED SHEETS
A fitted sheet is a fabric sheet with elasticized edges made to fit snugly over a cushion. It has rubber bands on the edges of the textile edges to securely cover the bed mattress and maintain it at the location. With a fitted bedsheet, you can protect your cushion from grime, dust, and spills. Developed to cover the cushion firmly in the ideal place, the function of the fitted sheet is to safeguard the cushion and offer you a smooth, soft surface to push on. To ensure you have a comfortable experience laying on your fitted bed sheet mattress, it’s important to have the appropriate mattress measurements as well as deep pockets so the fitted sheet stays in place.
What are weaving and thread counts?
Weaving
Fabric is made after weaving a yarn. Weaving is sometimes necessary because the softness and durability of your fabric depend on it.
Weaving can be of many types like satin, twill, dobby, percale
Thread Count
Thread count means how many threads have been woven into one square of fabric in the bedsheet. This is calculated by adding the number of lengthwise and breadthwise threads.
