Most Australians try to spend about eight hours in their beds every night, but we often forget about one of the key elements to bedtime comfort: our sheets.
There’s nothing sweeter than slipping into a fresh set of sheets, but over time our once pristine bedding can become threadbare, scratchy and just disappointing.
It sounds pretty depressing, but don’t fret – there’s a silver lining to those stained, worn sheets you’ve had on your bed for years!
And that is the fact that swapping them out for a brand new set is one of the easiest ways to totally revamp your entire bedroom.
What are the softest sheets on a budget?
Cotton is often thought to be the softest of bed sheet materials, and luckily they are often super affordable to shop.
When it comes down to it, the key is looking at the thread count of your sheets.
A thread count of between 200 and 800 will certainly provide soft, silky comfort, and choosing the finish of your sheets will also make a difference.
Not only will you be sleeping better on a crisp new sheet set, your room is guaranteed to look – and feel – better with the addition of new linens.
You can even change up the entire atmosphere in your bedroom by investing in something new and unique, like jewel tone sheets or bedding with an unexpected print.
The best part is that you don’t even need to have heaps of cash to spare to make the change because there are so many affordable bedding options.
