If you have ever owned a water bed, you know how important it is to have the right sheets. If you don’t use a water bed sheet, chances are by the time you wake up in the morning you’re not even going to have a sheet on your bed! Fortunately, it’s easy to find water bed sheets that will provide the comfort and style you’re looking for.

Water bed sheets are traditionally made with the top sheet sewn to the bottom sheet at the foot of the bed. Some manufacturers attach the water bed sheet at the center to make it easier to make the bed and yet still allow full range of movement for sleeping comfort.

When shopping for sheets, you will need to know about thread count. In a nutshell, the higher the thread count, the silkier and smoother the sheet will feel. Lower thread count water bed sheets, or any sheet, will “pill” more readily than higher count sheets. So, when you are shopping for sheets, buy the highest thread count sheets you can afford for maximum comfort.

There are just as many options in linens for water beds as there are for a regular bed. If you are new to the water bed world, you will soon discover that you can have just about anything you want to create the look you want and the sleep comfort you desire. Here are just a few of your options.

For economy with comfort, consider a 300 count Egyptian cotton water bed sheet. Make sure they are made of 100% cotton, and it will not only hold up under numerous washings, it will provide sleeping comfort that you will love. Also look for sheets that are not only pocketed in the corners, but all the way around. This will keep them from riding up throughout the night. You will find these sheets in all colors.

Move up to 400 count Egyptian cotton and will find a softer sheet or 600 count for softer yet; the higher the count, the softer the sheet. You will also find the higher count sheets will be more expensive as well. You can find exceptional buys at discount stores and online worth shopping for.

Another option in a water bed sheet is flannel. Anyone who has slept on flannel sheets will tell you how wonderful they are during winter months. Available in a variety of colors and thread counts, you will only be limited by your budget!

A percale water bed sheet is another option. Percale refers to the weave of the cotton and sometimes includes some polyester. Or for special occasions, you might want to try a satin water bed sheet. When it comes to sleeping comfort, follow your own personal preferences when you shop for water bed sheets. Combine budget, comfort and design and you will have fun shopping for your next set of sheets.
