The best sheets Australia has to offer
Hooray! On your search for the best bamboo sheets Australia has to offer (or just a sticky beak at what the Koala brand is all about), you’ve stumbled upon a bedding lesson that could seriously improve your sleep. The long and short of it? It’s not just your mattress that matters. The fabric, texture, size, shape, sustainability factor and thread count of your bed sheets all comes into play when slumber is at hand. There’s a lot to learn when it comes to bedding. But lucky for you, we know our sheets. So get yourself comfy and hop into bed with Koala, because we’re about to rock your socks off.What’s the best material for bed sheets?
Fibres and fabrics count when it comes to bedding. But what’s the best material for bed sheets overall? That’s a little tricker to say. We’ve put together a quick guide on the good, the bad and the snuggly when it comes to the most common bedding materials. 💤 Bamboo. It’s no shock that bamboo sheets have been trending on Google. They’re durable, soft and easy-peasy to clean. On the downside, though, bamboo can be costly, and isn’t always as sustainable as you might think. 💤 Cotton. Arguably the most famous material for bed sheets, there’s a lot to love about cotton. Hailed the best sheets for summer and the best sheets for hot sleepers, cotton is cool and soft. But beware — cotton can shrink after washing (and no one wants shrinkage!). Plus, despite your best attempts, they might keep a slight crinkle. 💤 Linen. Every hipster and their dog seems to be wearing linen these days. So it makes sense that we’ve started sleeping on it too. But linen sheets can be exy, and they require extra care. The good news? Although some linen sheets might feel scratchy at first, they will soften and then you’ll fall head over heels. And just like George Clooney, they only get better with age. 💤 Flannelette. Just like the faithful flanny your dad’s been wearing for the past 30 years, flannelette sheets never go out of style. They’re both warm and breathable at the same time, and while they can pill and fade without the proper care, they’re made to last. 💤 TENCEL™️ Lyocell. This fabric is made from wood, but there’s nothing hard about it. In fact, the Koala range of TENCEL™️ sheets are softer than silk and more absorbent than cotton. Clever, right?
Everyone knows about thread count, but it’s just one factor to consider when choosing bed sheets.
What else matters when choosing the best bed sheets?
Congrats. You’re now a pro at decoding bed sheet fibres. You’ve made your mum proud. But before graduating from Koala’s Bedding University, there’s just a bit more you’ll need to know.Thread cred
What’s that, you say? You won’t sleep on sheets that have anything less than a 400 thread count? Calm your farm, Linda Evangelista. A sheet’s thread count can indicate how soft and comfy it’ll be, but it’s not the only thing that matters when choosing the best sheets in Australia.Calling all size queens
Don’t believe what Cosmo told you — size does matter. Thankfully, all Koala bedding comes in the standard sizes of king, queen and double, so matching your sheets to your mattress should be a breeze. When it comes to getting the right sheets, there’s one other thing you need to look out for besides length and width. The best bed sheets also need to have the correct depth, and this is to ensure you get all the edges tucked in nice and neat. We want you and old mate sharing the bed to be snug as bugs under that doona, and that means having bed sheets that stay put. Now that you know what to look for when choosing a fitted sheet, you can finally learn how to make a bed without getting into a struggle, loading up the swear jar or pulling a hammy.Fit or flat?
Does your bed have the traditional fitted and flat sheet combo? Or do you prefer a simple fitted sheet all on its lonesome? How do you even choose the best fitted sheets? Australia, you have a lot to think about. Would it surprise you to learn that the need for both a fitted and a flat sheet is a hotly debated subject? Many of us can’t imagine life without the combo, while others forgo the flat sheet, choosing to sleep directly under their duvets. . So, which are the best bed sheets for your set-up? There’s no right or wrong. Only Martha Stewart can judge you now.Step up your bed game
Sometimes having the best sheets isn’t enough. It’s what you do in them that counts. This is where we do our winking face. To get the most out of your Koala config, we recommend the following: 💤 Make a solid start. The bottom is the place to begin. Buy a mattress online at Koala and give yourself the foundation for a good night’s sleep. 💤 Serve and protect. What’s a mattress topper? What about a mattress protector? Do you even need them? Well, not all mattresses need a topper but every mattress should have protection. We recommend using the best mattress protector in Australia to keep your Koala clean. 💤 Back to basics. Learning how to change pillowcases or how to make a bed like a hotel might be a snooze fest, but it will elevate your sleep to a new level. Also, sticking to a regular schedule of how often you wash bed sheets is considered a major adulting win.
If you’re going to invest in beautiful sheets then you’ll also need an awesome mattress — luckily we make some of the best.
