​Cheap Linen Sheets—Great Quality At A Price You Can Afford

1st Jul 2015

Good quality cheap linen sheets can be found if you know what you materials and weaves will work best for you. Don’t be fooled by companies that sell sheet sets that are cheap quality for a low price. Buying top-quality sheet sets that are priced to be easy on your household budget is what you need.

The first step in finding the right cheap sheet set is to consider the material that the sheet is made of.

Material Used For Sheet Sets

  • Cotton:Cotton-polyester blend sheets are wrinkle-resistant, durable (polyester lasts longer than cotton), and relatively inexpensive (up to half the cost of all-cotton). But if you're looking for that cool, soft feel, nothing beats 100 percent cotton. You'll hardly ever wake up clammy on cotton sheets, since the fiber wicks moisture away from your skin.
  • Microfiber: Microfiber sheets are made up of very finely woven fibers, defined by their thickness, which is the measurement of a fiber’s thickness. Microfibers are made in the lab instead of forming in nature. They can be made from wood pulp, or polyester and nylon polymers. Microfiber sheets are very thin, but are strong and exceptionally smooth and comfortable.

Thread Count—Choosing The Right Count For A Cheap Linen Sheet Set

Thread count is the total number threads that run horizontally and vertically in a square inch of fabric. A higher thread count indicates a tighter weave and adds softness and durability to the material.

A thread count of at least 200 makes a comfortable, long lasting sheet. Sheets with a thread count of 300 to 400 are a little nicer and are still affordable in price. 400 to 900 thread count sheets may cost a little more but may be worth it if it's more softness than a 300 or 400 count sheet that you want.

If you have bed sheets with a lower thread count, they'll become softer after repeated washings.

Weave

  • Sateen: Sateen sheets are 100% cotton sheets with a high thread count and a lustrous sheen. These sheets are woven from cotton threads that are then mercerized. Mercerizing is a process where the cotton material is soaked in lye and then in acid. The mercerizing process not only strengthens the cotton fibers and makes them more durable, but also gives sateen sheets their signature sheen. A fabulous example of high quality, inexpensive sateen weave sheet set is our 300 Thread Count 4 Piece Sateen Stripped Sheradian Sheet Set
  • Satin: Contrary to what most shopper think, the term satin refers not to a specific material, but to a specific type of weave. A satin weave is glossy and smooth. Satin weave is soft and usually brings to mind images of luxury and elegance. Satin weave sheets can be made from a number of different fibers. Satin sheets can be woven with cotton, nylon, or polyester. If satin sheet weave is what you are looking for, take a look at our Allure Satin Collection 800 Thread 4 Piece Sheet Set
