!tr Fanning, Saturday, January 28,1984 Bed Linens: A Variety Of Choices After a long day, nothing is more relaxing than curling up in a clean, neatly-made bed. A clean bed can always be yours. If there are at least three sets of sheets and pillowcases for every bed; one on the bed, one in the laundry, and one set in the closet so a quick change of bed linens can be made at any time. Always note the care in structions on the package when purchasing sheets. In general, sheets should be washed on the permanent press cycle in warm or hot water. Follow usage in structions on the package of detergent and bleach or other laundry additives for best results. Wash two sheets at a time, filling out the load with pillowcases and other items that can be washed and dried together. Tumble dry on the permanent press setting. Remove as soon as cycle is finished. Then fold, since little or no ironing is necessary. Put clean sheets on a bed in a systematic way, so the bed will be LOOK & Fabricating Machinary 12 Ton Model Cl Press 081 .. *750 10x3/16" NIAGARA 10E Mech. Shears, MBG A Sq.

Smooth the bottom sheet over the bed. If it is not a contour sheet, first tuck under mattress at the foot and head of the bed. Then make square hospital corners so the sheet will stay firmly in place. The top sheet should be put on the bed with enough of the sheet at the head so that it can be folded back over the blanket. The sheet keeps the blanket clean. Put the blanket over the sheets, and tuck both top sheet and blanket in at the foot of the bed. The bed is now ready for the spread. Sheets come in a choice of two basic types: muslin and percale. The fabrics differ in thread count (number of thread per square inch) and the type and size of yarn used. Muslin sheets have lower thread counts and heavier weights than percales because of their coarser yarns. However, a good muslin is durable and economical. Percale is generally made of combed as well as carded yams that are finer, smoother and lighter in weight than muslin. OMPARE Saw* 7”x12" EMERSON Hor. Band, New *1499 13"xl8" Hyd. Mech. Swir« Hd.

Consequently, the sheets have a lighter, more luxurious feel. A percale thread count can vary from 170-200. The majority of bed linens today are blends of cotton and polyester. The combination offers durability, wrinkle resistance and easy maintenance. Bed sheets, both flat and fitted, come in standard sizes to fit standard-sized mattresses. The most common are twin, double, queen and kind sizes. Crib, cot or youth bed sizes may also be available. Mattresses vary in tmckness so the size sheet (par ticularly the fitted type) needed must be determined after measuring the length, width and depth of the mattress. Pillowcases are sized for regular, queen or king size pillows. Most manufacturers label sizes by the torn length, before the sheet or pillowcase is hemmed. Top sheets should be approximately 10 inches larger than the mattress size so they can be comfortably tucked in (hi all sides. The use of color and designs in bed linens makes sleeping areas one of the most decorative areas in the home. Most sheets today are printed and styled to suit any decor including a baby’s or child’s room. For a dramatic effect, mix and match color-coordinated designs.
