We all want a good night's sleep, but did you know that your bedding choices might actually be working against you? After years of helping customers create their dream bedrooms, we've seen the same mistakes over and over again. Here are the top 5 bedding mistakes that are ruining your sleep — and how to fix them.
1. Using the Wrong Thread Count
Many people think higher thread count = better sheets, but that's not always true. Extremely high thread count sheets (over 600) can actually trap heat and feel stuffy. For most people, 300-400 thread count cotton sateen or percale is the sweet spot — soft, breathable, and durable.
2. Neglecting the Duvet Fill Weight
Your duvet is the biggest factor in how warm (or cool) you feel at night. If you're a hot sleeper, go for a lighter fill weight. If you're always cold, a heavier down alternative duvet will keep you cozy.
3. Using Pillowcases That Don't Match Your Pillow Type
A standard pillowcase won't fit a memory foam contour pillow, and a too-tight case can distort the shape of your pillow — which defeats the whole purpose of buying an ergonomic pillow!
4. Skipping the Bed Skirt
A bed skirt isn't just decorative — it hides unsightly box springs, storage boxes under the bed, and helps keep dust bunnies at bay. Plus, it instantly makes your bedroom look more polished.
5. Not Washing Your Bedding Often Enough
Most people wash their sheets every 2-3 weeks, but dermatologists recommend weekly washing. Our skin sheds oils, dead skin cells, and dust mites accumulate quickly.
