1) Egyptian Cotton Sheets May Be Fake<\/strong><\/h3>\n<\/div>\n
\n

Egyptian cotton is one of the best fabrics when it comes to luxury bed sheets. Plus, it is highly regarded by many bed sheet enthusiasts as the best kind of cotton used in making bed sheets and duvet covers. This is because Egyptian cotton has a higher fiber staple length which is achieved due to the favorable conditions in the Nile River that are perfect for growing cotton. Besides, cotton grown in this region has smoother and stronger yarn. However, some of the\u00a0Egyptian cotton bed sheets<\/em><\/strong>\u00a0sold in the world are fake, and you may note this starting with the price.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\n

So, make sure you are buying your sheets from a brand with a certification that proves that their bed sheets are made from real\u00a0Egyptian cotton as Marialma\u2019s bed sheets.\u00a0<\/a><\/p>\n<\/div>\n

2) Sheet Labels to Avoid at All Costs<\/strong><\/h3>\n<\/div>\n
\n

Have you ever seen bed sheets with a label that says\u00a0\u201cpermanent press\u201d, \u201cwrinkle-free\u201d, and \u201ceasy care\u201d?\u00a0<\/em>Well, this is not a good sign. In case you are wondering what they mean, you probably should know that it indicates that this fabric has a poisonous chemical called formaldehyde resin. But there is more\u2026 You can\u2019t wash out this chemical!<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\n

3) Hemp: The Natural Temperature Control<\/strong><\/h3>\n<\/div>\n
\n

Why is there so much hype about\u00a0hemp sheets?\u00a0<\/u><\/a> Well, they are sustainable, comfortable, and alergen-free\u2026 But, wait, there is more! They are also breathable, which means they work with the temperature of your body, keeping you warm in winter and cool in summer. What more could you possibly want?<\/p>\n

4) Washing Sheets<\/strong><\/h3>\n<\/div>\n
\n

How to wash bed sheets?<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\n

In a very short time, dead skin cells, oils from the skin, saliva, and sweat cover your sheets. This can make for a dust mite paradise.<\/p>\n

Experts claim that clean sheets help prevent allergies, dermatitis, and even acne. The washing of your sheets will always depend on several conditions, now let\u2019s see:<\/p>\n

You should wash your sheets \u2014 and other bedding \u2014 at least once every two weeks. But if you have night sweats, or just sweat a lot in general, bump washing up to once a week.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\n

If you\u2019re allergic to dust mites, the Asthma and Allergy Foundation of America recommends washing your bedding at least once a week. You\u2019ll need to wash them in water that is at least 130 degrees Fahrenheit (54.4 Celsius) to kill the dust mites.<\/p>\n

Now, if you\u2019re sick with something contagious, the rules change. Sheets and other bedding need to be changed as soon as you feel better to prevent contracting the illness again.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\n

Washing your sheets may also be critical to your health, as the choice of suitable detergents may vary from person to person. Ideally, a test should be carried out with the dermatologist, but, as a precaution, you should wash the clothes only with water and neutral soap, without softeners or perfumed soap.<\/p>\n

As for the washing temperature, it is best to follow the care instructions of each brand.<\/p>\n

5) Go green with Lyocell fibers<\/strong><\/h3>\n<\/div>\n
\n

Lyocell fibers are\u00a0sustainable fabrics<\/em><\/strong>\u00a0that come from the wood of eucalyptus trees. These trees are grown sustainably, with the purpose to decrease the need for pesticides or irrigation. Plus, they are generated with the use of a closed-loop process, which assures that these fibers are recycled back into the material, making it the fabric with the smallest ecological footprint.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\n

If you don\u2019t believe it, check out their various certifications on their\u00a0sustainability page<\/a>\u00a0and find out all the details of their\u00a0environmentally friendly process<\/em><\/strong>.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\n

Marialma features Lyocell fibers with patent processes on their bed sheets, which make them perfect for sensitive skin and problems related to body heat. This process incorporates seaweed or zinc oxide firmly into a natural cellulose fiber ensuring that their properties are permanently preserved within the useful life of the bed sheets, regardless of several rounds in the washing machine.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\n

6) Bed Sheets Impact Your Sleep<\/strong><\/h3>\n<\/div>\n
\n

Bed sheets<\/u><\/a>\u00a0have a major influence on your sleep. If you choose the wrong bed sheets, you can have consequences on your health, body, and well-being like itchy skin, infections, dry skin, among other effects. So, it\u2019s time to choose the right fabrics for you and your skin, and boost your personal, social, and professional life with a good night\u2019s sleep!<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\n

Sheets that contain synthetic fibers tend to cause increased skin irritation. Also, they can trigger dermatitis and allergies in those who are already predisposed to it.<\/p>\n

Wool fibers also accumulate more mites and dust, accenting allergic pictures. These fabrics accumulate perspiration odors as they retain sweat and do not let the skin breathe properly.<\/p>\n

Always opt for 100% natural materials. Investing in a good sheet is critical to the quality of your sleep and the durability of the products.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\n

All in all, when you are choosing your bed sheets, you should never forget that your buying decision will not only have an impact on your sleep but also in the world. We all have the power to change the world and small actions matter a lot! Today, we hope we have given you a few facts that help you to buy your bed sheets more consciously.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
