Sheets: What to Know Before You Buy

Thread Count vs. Material Quality

Contrary to marketing hype, thread count isn’t everything. The sweet spot for breathable, durable sheets is 300–400 threads per inch — if the cotton is long-staple and the weave is tight. Nest Bedding’s Luxury Organic Cotton Sheets hit that balance.

Material Breakdown

• Organic Cotton: Crisp, breathable, and sustainable. Ideal for year-round comfort.
• Bamboo & Tencel: Excellent for hot sleepers — soft, cool to the touch, and moisture-wicking.
• Polyester Blends: Wrinkle-resistant but less breathable. Often marketed as “easy care.”

Comforters & Blankets

A comforter should regulate temperature, add weight, and feel cozy without overheating. Nest Bedding offers organic and all-season options, including a washable wool comforter that works year-round.

Which Fill Is Right for You?

• Down Alternative: Fluffy, hypoallergenic, often made of recycled materials.
• Wool: Naturally temperature-regulating, breathable, and sustainable.
• Weighted: Helps reduce anxiety and improve sleep depth. Choose 8–12% of your body weight.

Mattress Protectors: Worth It?

Yes. A high-quality mattress protector prolongs the life of your mattress and prevents moisture damage, allergens, and dust mites. Look for breathable, waterproof options that don’t feel like plastic.

The Cooling Mattress Protector from Nest is thin, silent, and stretch-fitted — so it protects without affecting feel.

Putting It All Together

Start with breathable sheets, add a comforter tailored to your climate, and protect your investment with a smart, low-profile protector. Your bedding is just as important as your mattress in determining overall sleep quality.
