There is nothing more perfect than ending an exhausting day in a bed with luxury bed linens. While most people may not be able to afford the most expensive, thousand dollar sheet sets, there are options out there that come pretty close. You just need to know a bit about the bedding and linen products.

Before you stock your store or hospitality business with bedding products, conduct research to make sure you are getting your money's worth. Colors and fabrics are important, but thread count and weave are also important.

When you are finally ready to buy bedding and linens, remember these tips:

1. The more luxurious the bed linens are, the more money they are going to cost.
2. Comfortable bedding sheets, blankets and comforters are available at reasonable prices.
3. Offer bedding products that will please all of your customers.

Action Steps
The best contacts and resources to help you get it done

Know how to buy bed sheets


It seems simple enough to buy sheets for a bed, but, in reality, there are many options available to you. With so many options in fabric, thread count and brand names, it may become overwhelming. Start by thoroughly researching your options.

I recommend: ineed2know.org gives you a quick breakdown on the basics of sheet buying. Here you will learn about everything from weave to dimensions of standard sheets. Bed Bath & Beyond also offers advice on sheet buying. However, they do market their own products on this website, so you will not get unbiased opinions on brands. For a very detailed article on sheets, read Sheet Smarts by Kiplinger Personal Finance.

Offer your clients luxury bed linens


Nothing is better than sliding into bed and finding perfect, comfortable, luxurious bed linens. Be sure to offer these high quality products to your clients. However, be aware that these products come at very high prices.

I recommend: Bella Lino offers high-end, luxury bed linens. They also offer custom bed linens by monogramming. Elegant Linens offers top-of-the-line bedding and linens. Remember to include luxury blankets for your clients as well. Thomas Lee offers 100% cotton blankets for queen and king beds. The website sells quality products, but there are not many blankets to choose from. For a larger selection of luxury blankets, visit Pioneer Linens. This website offers everything from easy care blankets to cashmere blankets.

Buy affordable, comfortable bedding and linens


If you choose to buy affordable bedding and linens, you can still offer comfort. You will not get the high-end products offered on luxury websites, but you can still offer quality bedding products. Check out bedding manufacturers and bedding distributors to find some great deals.

I recommend: Scandia Down Online offers a modest selection of bedding products, including down comforters and pillows. Peacock Alley offers a nice selection of bedding sheets, as well as blankets and ensemble collections. Some items are pricy, but there are some great deals on this website. If you want to get the most for your money, consider buying wholesale bed linens. Kwestex offers sheets and wholesale bedding. You purchase products on this website by the case. Superior Linen Supply (SLS) provides quality linens to retailers and businesses. You need to contact them for detailed information about their products.

Offer natural, organic bed linens


Protecting the environment is always a wonderful idea. Consider offering organic bedding and linens to your customers, most critically if you are a spa or retreat type of busines, where your customers may expect this.

I recommend: Good Night Naturals offers a large variety of organic bedding products. This website also provides information about products and materials. Organic Abode also offers a nice selection of natural bedding products.

Tips & Tactics
Helpful advice for making the most of this Guide
