Collection: Summer Bedsheets

Summer brings sunshine, vacations, and unwanted hot nights. Let's face it, getting a good night's sleep when the temperature soars can be a challenge. But fear not, there's a simple solution: summer bed sheets!

What are summer bed sheets?

Summer bed sheets typically refer to lightweight and breathable bed sheets designed specifically for warmer weather. These sheets are usually made from materials such as cotton or linen, which are known for their moisture-wicking properties and ability to keep you cool during hot nights. They often have a lower thread count and a more open weave to enhance airflow and promote ventilation, ensuring a comfortable and refreshing sleep experience during the summer months.

At Belong, we understand how warm it can get across India, in cities like Delhi, Mumbai, Kolkata, Ahmedabad, Surat, and Chandigarh temperatures can soar to as high as 38 deg and in cities like Nagpur, Hyderabad, Warangal, Vijaywada and many cities in Rajasthan go even beyond 40 deg celsius. And hence we developed cotton bedsheets that can keep you cool and comfortable in the heat of the summer. 

What Makes Them Different?

Summer bed sheets are specifically crafted to provide comfort and breathability during warmer months. Unlike heavier bedding options suited for colder seasons, summer sheets are typically made from lightweight and breathable materials such as cotton or linen. 

These fabrics have natural moisture-wicking properties that help absorb sweat and moisture from the body, keeping you cool and dry throughout the night. Additionally, summer bed sheets often feature a lower thread count and a more open weave, allowing for better airflow and ventilation, which is essential for maintaining a comfortable sleep environment in hot weather. 

With their airy and refreshing feel, summer bed sheets or summer fitted sheets offer a cool and inviting surface to rest on, ensuring a restful and rejuvenating sleep experience even on the hottest of nights.

Why Do You Need Summer Bed Sheets?

Here's why summer bed sheets are a game-changer for your sleep:

• Breathability: Regular sheets can trap heat, making you feel sweaty and uncomfortable. Summer sheets, with their breathable fabrics, help air flow freely around your body, keeping you cooler.

• Moisture Wicking: We all sweat a little at night, especially in the summer. Summer sheets use fabrics that absorb moisture and move it away from your skin. This keeps you feeling dry and prevents that sticky feeling.

• Lightweight Comfort: Heavy sheets can feel smothering in hot weather. Summer sheets are lightweight and soft, providing a comfortable layer that won't weigh you down.

• Better Sleep: When you're cool and comfortable, you're more likely to fall asleep faster and stay asleep all night. A good night's sleep is essential for your overall health and well-being, so summer sheets are an investment in feeling your best all summer long.

The King (or Queen) of Summer Sheets: Cotton

Now that you know why summer sheets are a must-have, let's talk about the best material for them: cotton! Cotton is the undisputed champion of summer sheets for several reasons:

• Natural Breathability: Cotton is a natural fibre, which means it allows air to pass through it easily. This breathability is key for keeping you cool at night.

• Moisture Management: Cotton has excellent moisture-wicking properties. It absorbs sweat and releases it into the air, preventing that clammy feeling.

• Softness Supreme: Good quality cotton is incredibly soft and gentle on your skin. This adds to the overall comfort and cosiness of summer sheets.

• Durability You Can Trust: Cotton is a strong and durable fabric. With proper care, your cotton summer sheets will last for many summers to come.

• Temperature Regulation: Cotton is naturally insulating, which might seem counterintuitive for summer sheets. However, cotton's breathability allows it to regulate temperature. In hot weather, it allows heat to escape, while in cooler nights, it provides a light layer of warmth.

Choose the Perfect Cotton Summer Sheets

Not all cotton is created equal. Here are some tips for picking the best cotton summer sheets:

• Thread Count: Thread count refers to the number of threads per square inch of fabric. Higher thread count generally means softer sheets, but for summer sheets, focus on breathability. A thread count in the 200-400 range is perfect for summer.

• Weave: The weave of the fabric affects its breathability. Percale weave is a popular choice for summer sheets because it's lightweight and crisp. Sateen weave is softer and smoother but might trap more heat.

• Organic Cotton: For an eco-friendly option, consider organic cotton sheets. They're free from harmful chemicals and are often even softer than conventional cotton.

When you lay down on these bedsheets, you immediately feel the coolness even when the weather outside is super warm.
