Rehab Your Bedding

We spend a third of our lives in bed. It's a place meant for rest, relaxation (and hopefully a little recreation). And even though most of us are fine spending the necessary cash on some nice shoes or a jacket, we neglect our sheets—an item we use everyday. You don't want to be the guy with ratty sheets. Especially when you've got an overnight guest. Herewith, everything you need to make an informed purchasing decision.

Oxford Cotton

The 4.2 ounce cotton has been brushed for softness, but will get even softer after each wash, not unlike your favorite shirt.

Example: Lands' End

Egyptian Cotton

Woven from the long fibers of a specific cotton plant grown along the Nile, which makes for a particularly durable and soft fabric.

Example: Macy's Hotel Collection

Bamboo

These cool, breathable sheets wick away moisture and are naturally antibacterial making them ideal for warm weather.

Example: BedVoyage

Sateen

Finely spun cotton creates a silky smooth set of sheets with a hint of sheen (but without the delicate nature or cheesy shine of satin).

Example: Crate & Barrel
