3 Main Reasons To Replace Your Sheets

Doctors say we get the deepest, healthiest sleep when our bodies are cool, comfortable, and able to breathe [1, 2]. If you're struggling to fall asleep or stay asleep, it may be due to the quality of your sheets.

Let’s go over the 3 key reasons why you need to replace your old sheets.

1. They're Stained, Wrinkled, and Old 

As a rule of thumb, sheets need to be replaced after two years of use. This may sound like a waste of money but think about the shirts you wear. After two years of use, once or twice a week, your shirt looks worn and has visible signs of age. So, why would the sheets you sleep on every day be any different? After all, you spend a third of your life sleeping in bed!

The visible signs that your sheets need replacing are the yellowing stains that are impossible to get out, as well as thinning or torn fabric. Not feeling comfortable while sleeping is a key indicator that you need to change your sheets ASAP!

2. They're Not Gentle or Moisture-Wicking

One of the key reasons for poor sleep is sniffling and sneezing due to the common household non-living allergens found on your bed sheets. Experts recommend that you wash your bedding every week. Not keen on doing this much washing? Look for bed sheets that have breathable, moisture-wicking properties to keep your bed cleaner for longer.

As a person with expensive taste, but a normal salary, you may find it hard to find a set of sheets that feel perfect at a reasonable price point. Cosy House offers breathable Luxury Bamboo Bed Sheets that are designed to wick away excess heat and moisture while you sleep, keeping you cool, resisting odours and stains, pampering your skin, and making sure your linens stay fresh. These properties can help you sleep easy and wake up refreshed each and every morning. It’s amazing what changing your sheets can do for your well-being!

3. They're Made From Poor Quality Fabric That Doesn't Last

Have you ever purchased a bargain set of sheets only to immediately realize how poor their quality is? Don’t harm your health or sleep schedule with these cheap sheets. Fabric of poor quality might even give you a skin rash or a headache. It’s simply not worth risking your health over a few bucks.
