The Ultimate Guide to Buying a Bedding Set That Suits Your Style

Your bedroom is more than just a place to sleep; it is your personal sanctuary, a space where comfort meets style. And at the heart of it all lies your bedding. The right bedding set does not just elevate your room’s aesthetic; it enhances your overall sleep experience.

However, with endless choices in colours, fabrics, and designs available in the Indian market, finding the perfect fit can feel somewhat overwhelming. 

But don't worry, this comprehensive guide will help you find your bedding set as per your vibe and needs!

1.    Bed Sheet Material for Your Bedding Set

Your choice of fabric directly affects your sleep quality and how your room feels across seasons. Here is a breakdown of popular options in India:

Fabric	Best For	Pros	Considerations
Cotton	Year-round	Breathable, durable, softens with wash	May wrinkle easily
Egyptian Cotton	Premium choice	Ultra-soft, luxurious feel	Pricier
Linen	Summers, humid climates	Moisture-wicking, textured look	Needs ironing
Sateen	Winters or cooler bedrooms	Smooth, shiny finish	Less breathable
Blended Cotton/Polycotton	Budget-friendly, easy-care	Wrinkle-resistant	Less natural feel

For ultimate breathability and blissful comfort, 100% cotton bed sheets for double bed are the go-to choice. 

 

2.    Understand What a Bedding Set Includes

Before going into prints and patterns, it is important to know what a typical bedding set contains. Depending on the type and size, a complete bedding set generally includes:

●    Flat sheet
●    Fitted sheet
●    Pillowcases (2–4, depending on the size)
●    Duvet cover or comforter
●    Optional: Bedspread, shams, or decorative cushions
Spaces offers curated bedding sets with all essentials, making it easier for you to shop in one go without compromising on design or quality. 

3.    Pay Attention to Thread Count

Thread count has long been a buzzword in the bedding industry, often considered the ultimate indicator of quality and softness. While important, it is not the only factor. Thread count refers to the number of horizontal (weft) and vertical (warp) threads woven into one square inch of fabric.
For maximum airflow and moisture reduction, a standard thread count of 200-800 is ideal in the bedding world. Anything higher can sometimes mean thinner threads packed together, not necessarily better quality.

4.    Choose a Bedding Set According to Your Mattress

Buying a queen-sized bedsheet for a king-sized mattress is always the start of a disaster and a messy-looking bed. Always measure your bedding mattress, including the depth, before buying bedding.

Here is a quick reference table:

Bed Size	Bedsheet Dimensions	Pillow Size
Single	60” x 90”	17” x 27”
Double	78” x 98”	17” x 27”
Queen	90” x 100”	18” x 28”
King	108” x 108”	18” x 28”

On Spaces, you can filter bedding sets by mattress size so you never go wrong. 

5.    Setting the Right Mood With Colour Psychology

Beyond material and quality, aesthetics play a huge role. Colour psychology can transform your bedroom's vibe. For 2025, exciting colour developments are shaping bedroom design.

●  Butter Yellow (KitchenAid's 2025 Colour of the Year) :

This standout shade is set to be one of the most popular colours for paint and home decor in 2025, instantly uplifting your space.

●  Quietude (HGTV Home by Sherwin-Williams' 2025 Colour of the Year):

 If you love adding an earthy, serene feeling to your room, bedding sets in Quietude would be an excellent choice.

6.    Season-Proof Your Bedding

India’s diverse weather, that is, from scorching summers to damp monsoons and chilly winters, means your bedding needs to adapt with the seasons. Choosing the right materials ensures comfort all year round:
●    Summer: Opt for breathable, lightweight cotton bedsheets and thin blankets to stay cool and sweat-free.
●    Monsoon: Use quick-drying, mildew-resistant fabrics like microfiber or poly-cotton blends that won’t trap moisture.
●    Winter: Layer your bed with fleece throws, flannel sheets, or thick comforters to stay warm and cosy.

7.    Maintaining Your Bedding Set

Design aside, you want your bedding to work for you. So, go ahead with:
●    Ease of Maintenance: Look for bedding that is machine-washable and fade-resistant. Anti-pilling cotton ensures that your bedding looks fresh even after multiple washes.
●    Allergy-friendly: If you suffer from dust allergies, go for hypoallergenic fabrics like organic cotton or bamboo blends.
●    Gentle Detergents: Use mild detergents and avoid harsh chemicals or bleach, which can damage fabric fibres.
●    Tumble Dry Low: Over-drying can damage fabric and cause shrinkage. 

8.    Invest in Quality Over Quantity

While inexpensive bedding may look appealing, investing in quality ensures long-term comfort and value. Cheap bedding sets often fade, pill, or lose shape quickly, leading to frequent replacements. Instead, choose well-crafted options that last, such as branded cotton bed sheets for double bed, which guarantee correct sizing, better fabric finishes, and colourfastness.
