Apart from serving its functional purpose, bedding serves several other purposes. It can be used as a means of giving an easy upgrade or an instantaneous makeover to the bedroom. It can provide a personality and warmth to a room. It lets us make a personal style statement and reflects our attitude.
Most people realize how important bedding is. However, the wide and confusing array of options available in the department stores and specialty stores deters them from embarking on a mission to change their bedding. Then there are others who want to add a personal and unique touch to their bedding. They think that perfect bedding would not come in a bag. This particular group comprises a significant number of consumers. Responding to their requirements manufacturers and retailers have come up with custom bedding or ‘design it yourself.
There was a time when all bed sheets were white cotton. But now sheets are available in different colors, styles, patterns and textures. Many retailers customize the sheets to suit individual tastes. Before buying bed sheets the size of the bed that needs new sheets has to be determined. Sheets are available in twin, full (or double), queen, king and California king sizes. It is a good idea to measure the length and width of the bed to ensure that the bed sheets fit correctly.
The bottom sheet is called the fitted sheet. There are three kinds of fitted bed sheets. The first kind has an elastic edge all the way around for easy fitting over the sides and corners of the mattress. These are the most expensive types of fitted sheets. The second kind has elastic along the sides, and the third kind has elastic only at the corners. The first kind is the most expensive and fits best. The third kind is the least expensive and the most difficult to fit over a mattress. 
Most sheet sets consist of a fitted sheet, a flat sheet and some pillow cases. The fitted sheet wraps around the mattress and the flat sheet stretches over the mattress. Fitted sheets are approximately of the following dimensions:
Twin bed: 39 inches by 76 inches (80 inches for extra long twin).
Full bed: 54 inches by 75 inches.
Queen size: 60 inches by 80 inches.
King size: 78 inches by 80 inches.
California King: 72 inches by 84 inches.
The most important things that should be considered when buying sheets are fabric, thread count and the type of weave.
Fabric
Egyptian cotton is the best fabric for sheets. Grown exclusively in the Nile River Valley, it is one of the world’s strongest and helpful cotton. The combination of Egyptian cotton fabric and a high thread count results in the most luxurious sheets.
