There are those who can fall asleep anywhere – on a bus, in a chair, or even on the floor. There are also those who need the right conditions to fall asleep. We definitely belong to the latter category, which is why we pay attention to details that improve the quality of sleep. The first step towards better sleep is choosing bedding that not only warms and envelops, but is also skin-friendly and easy to care for. In today's post, we will advise you on how to choose the right bedding bedding , thanks to which you will significantly improve the quality of your sleep and start sleeping better than ever!
What does a bedding set consist of?
Linen consists of three elements: duvet covers, pillowcases or pillowcases and sheets . Each element should be matched to the dimensions of the pillows, duvet and bed. We are aware that there is no one size fits all, which is why at moyha we focus on diversity. Each product is available in many sizes, so you can easily match it to your existing duvets, pillows and mattresses.
Our bedding sets include one pillowcase in the case of single sets, or two pillowcases in double bedding sets, a duvet cover and a practical cotton bag for bedding or underwear. Sheets are sold separately. If you like to surround yourself with a lot of bedding pillows, you can of course buy pillowcases if you feel like it.
All moyha bedding from the Senne Marzenie collection are made of natural cotton. Depending on the color, composition in the range of 90-100% cotton . Our trademark is wooden buttons , which we decided to replace their popular plastic counterparts with. Go for naturalness in your bedroom – cotton and wood is an effective way to break away from plastic and artificial materials.
What size bedding should I choose?
Choosing bedding , first of all pay attention to:
- quilt size – the most popular dimensions of single duvets are: 140x200 cm, 150x200 cm or 160x200 cm. Popular sizes for duvets for two are 200x200 cm, 200x220 cm or even 240x220 cm,
- pillow size – most popular dimensions:, 50x60 cm, 50x70 cm, 60x70 cm, 70x80 cm. But we also have pillowcases for “pillows” in the size of 40x40 cm. If you have an exceptionally large pillow, you will certainly be happy that you can also buy pillowcases in the size of 80x80 cm from us.
- mattress size – most popular dimensions: 90x200 cm, 140x200 cm, 160x200 cm, 180x200 cm.
Once you have established these parameters, choosing bedding will be a piece of cake. At moyha you will find linen in each of the above-mentioned sizes and in three different colours. However, we are planning a new delivery of other beautiful colours soon, among which the long-awaited anthracite colour will finally appear!
Remember not to buy pillowcases “by eye,” but take a moment to carefully measure the duvet, pillows, and mattress. In many cases, you can find information about the dimensions of individual elements on the labels attached to them.
Too small bedding makes the duvet and pillow fit awkwardly (if they even fit in the pillowcase), not to mention the fact that a fitted sheet that is too small will constantly slide off. Our fitted sheets are designed for high mattresses up to 30 cm. If you have a lower mattress, don't worry about it. The sheet can be placed under the mattress. However, a sheet that is too small and keeps falling off the mattress definitely looks bad. On the other hand, bedding is too big causes the duvet to roll up at the bottom of the pillowcase, which is not particularly comfortable during sleep.
Single or double?
At moyha we create single and double bedding , i.e. those that will work well in the bedrooms of children, teenagers, singles and couples.
Single bedding includes duvet covers in the dimensions 140x200 cm, 150x200 cm and 160x200 cm, while double bedding these are pillowcases 160x200 cm, 200x200 cm, 200x220 cm and 240x220 cm. The moyha double sets also include two pillowcases – one for you and one for your partner.
However, there is nothing to stop the couple from choosing two single bed sheets – it all depends on your preferences. Sleeping under one blanket brings you closer, makes it easier to cuddle during sleep and provides thermal comfort. However, sleep is quite a selfish activity, and many people are unable to fall asleep until they wrap themselves in a blanket like a cocoon. The decision to choose two single blankets for a couple does not mean avoiding intimacy, but is the result of mutual concern for the quality of sleep.
The best material for bedding
Choosing the right size is only half the battle. To make using bedding pleasant, you can't forget to make the pillowcases made of a soft and skin-friendly material. Just think about your favorite cotton T-shirt that you could wear all the time - it's the material it's made of that makes it so pleasant to wear.
Bedding manufacturers offer pillowcases made from a variety of materials, but at moyha we stick to natural cotton. Cotton bedding from the Senne Marzenie collection are soft, light, warm and breathable. Because cotton is hygroscopic and allows the skin to breathe, the material absorbs moisture and prevents overheating.
After choosing the material, it is worth considering the color. At moyha, we focus on neutral colors such as white, white melange and grey melange . The white bedding is made of 100% cotton, while the dyed versions contain a small amount of viscose. However, anthracite, navy blue melange and a new, beautiful graphite will soon be available again!
Cotton bedding care
Just like cotton T-shirts, too cotton bedding it does not lose its quality despite repeated washing. In order to enjoy its good shape for as long as possible, it is worth remembering a few rules of care.
Here are our recommendations:
- wash at a maximum temperature of 40°C using a mild detergent,
- do not bleach; also make sure that your detergent does not contain soda. It also bleaches and can damage the coating of the cotton fiber,
- do not chlorinate,
- To avoid shrinkage, do not tumble dry,
- Dry the bedding so that the bottom with the buttons is horizontal – this way you will maintain the original dimensions of the pillowcase.
Our cotton bedding it does not require ironing , so after drying you can start using it right away! Isn't that convenient? :)
We also recommend that change your bedding at least once a month, although it is best to do it every two weeks . Invisible mites, dead skin, pet hair, food scraps and other dirt accumulate in bedding. Frequent replacement of pillowcases is therefore simply healthy, as it prevents allergies, contact with microorganisms and skin problems.
Take care of the quality and hygiene of your sleep by choosing cotton and natural moyha bedding like your favorite t-shirt! It is also a great gift idea for a loved one you would like to take care of - a young mother who has many sleepless nights ahead of her, a friend who is going through stressful times, or a grandmother who you would like to give the comfort she deserves.
Sleep tight!
Hugs,
