Most people do not think about the fact that bed linen has its seasonality. Of course, with the arrival of the summer heat, we hide warm blankets and terry sheets, but in the rest we use the same sets of laundry as in other seasons. And this is fundamentally wrong. Even a small presence of synthetic components, which in winter and autumn will not cause any particular harm, may provoke the development of allergic reactions in the summer and simply turn out to be very unpleasant to the touch. But, in that case, how to choose bed linen for the summer? We will try to consider in this publication on the "House of Dreams" several important recommendations.

Bed linen for hot days: pay attention to the material
Summer bedding must be natural. This is explained quite simply: in the summer we sweat more intensively, and synthetic fabric, in contrast to natural, poorly absorbs moisture. Therefore, synthetic underwear in the summer, firstly, can cause irritation on the skin, and secondly, it provokes an increase in body temperature, which will not create the most favorable conditions for sleep.

Today on sale you can find several dozens of types of natural fabrics, which have unique characteristics and properties. Let's consider in detail the most favorable and safe materials for summer bed linen.
Flax
In contact with skin, flax not only does not cause harm, but also has a curative effect on it. To the touch, this fabric seems a bit rude and it is thanks to its texture linen bed linen slightly massages the skin, without causing unpleasant tactile sensations. In addition, the flax perfectly absorbs moisture and does not interfere with the penetration of fresh air. The only drawback of a linen bed is that this material quickly collapses.

Calico
This material is made by a special plexus of cotton threads. Coarse calico, as well as linen, has a high hygroscopicity coefficient and freely transmits air. But, in addition, this kind of fabric is characterized by low crease, does not become electrified and, which is especially important for the summer period, dries quickly after washing.

Satin
Satin bedding is distinguished by its bright design. This material is made by interlacing double cotton threads, which gives the product a light shine. Unlike previous fabrics, satin has increased strength, does not shed and does not deform even after numerous washings.
Despite the fact that this fabric is very dense, satin has a cooling effect, which is very necessary in conditions of exhausting summer heat.

Silk
The protein fiber from which the silk is made contains more than 18 amino acids, which has a very favorable effect on the condition of our skin. Natural silk is a natural antiseptic. It does not cause allergies and, in addition, microbes and bacteria quickly die on its surface. However, the main advantage of silk, making linen from this material the best product for the summer period, is the "cooling" effect. Because of the special texture, natural silk slightly lowers body temperature.

Bamboo
Bamboo is an exotic giant grass from which everything is literally made in the East: dishes, furniture, toys, boats and even bamboo houses. In addition, bamboo is processed into a particularly fine fiber, which is ideal for creating a very soft and pleasant to the touch of bed linen. What is the attraction of summer bed linen from bamboo?
- Firstly, in the production of this material, synthetic raw materials are not used at any stage of production.
- Secondly, since the bamboo fabric has a porous structure, the material immediately absorbs moisture and creates favorable conditions for sleeping, even at the highest temperature.

What else to look for when choosing summer bedding
It turns out that not only the quality of the material affects the comfort of our sleep. Scientists have repeatedly conducted studies, which revealed that the color of bed linen can both improve our sleep and provoke insomnia.
As a rule, compared to other seasons in summer, we lead a more active lifestyle. On the one hand, it has a good effect on the state of our health, but on the other - long walks, exercise and increased stress due to heat can provoke problems with sleep. To sleep soundly and calmly, despite the summer heat, choose bed linen red, yellow, green, orange and blue tones. It may seem that bright colors, such as red, orange and yellow, provoke emotional excitement and certainly are not suitable for bed linen. But, in fact:
- red and orange tones have the property of lowering blood pressure, so we fall asleep more quickly;
- yellow color helps fight bad mood;
- and green and blue colors have a calming effect and provide a sound sleep.
