Till some years back bedding used to be made from white cotton cloth. Nowadays there is a myriad diversity of such bedding stocked up in shops and you are actually spoiled for choice. Bedding was never so beautiful with the vibrant colours, prints and textures that are offered in today

That is why there are some things that need to be taken care of before you spend any money on purchasing bedding.

Calculate the beds proportions

You might think that all twin beds or king sizing beds measure the same, but sadly it is not so. The top dimensions might be the same, but again the measurements differ with each manufacturer. So make sure that you calculate all the measurements of your bed from top to bottom and also the thickness of the mattress you are using. Your bed could be shorter or longer than another one from the same producer. Measuring your bed will give you an idea of the sizing of your bed sheet before buying.

Choose your storehouse

Super stores usually stock on branded bed sheets and their own brands in one place.. For a unusual look, some people also go for embroidered bed sheets with sequins. Another choice is to shop online for the largest variety. For those who still love their cotton fiber sheets, a discount rate storehouse is where you should travel to.

Familiarise yourself with thread count in bedding

The number of threads that are present in a square inch of the sheet in back and forth direction of its weave is known as thread count. This count is mentioned on the label of the bedsheet itself. More the thread count, more is the richness of the fabric. Beware of a very high thread count as the sheet may have thinner threads and not the texture you want. It is advisable that you go for a thread count in the range of 175 - 250 for a soft sheet under you.

Choose the bedsheet cloth.

A material that is moderately priced and feels nice to sleep on is the one for you. Cotton sheets are still liked, but blended cotton is preferred by those who dont like lines. For a warm cocoon around you, flannel is best in wintertime. For a lavish look, go for satin, silk or microfiber.

Caring directions

You need to know how the bed sheet has to be cleaned prior to purchasing one. Silk sheets cannot be machine washed as they are delicate. Are you ready to do that? So buy only such sheets that you can maintain easily and within budget.

Hope these six steps lead you to finding a perfect bed sheet for your bed.

Thomas the Tank Engine gained the hearts of many children since the Railway Series of books first came out back in 1945, which isn’t surprising considering Thomas the Tank Engine books have sold about eighty million copies all around the globe. As a celebration of the series’ 60th anniversary, here is some history about Thomas the Tank Engine.

Back in 1943, little Christopher Awdry, a three years-old son of an Anglican clergyman named Wilbert Awdry, was suffering from scarlet fever. Due to the nature of the disease he was forced to remain in isolation. As a way to keep him entertained, his father started telling him several stories about a group of trains living out adventures and having fun together, and thus, Thomas the Tank engine was born.

As is to be expected with any child, he demanded his father to tell him the stories over again and again, and of course corrected him each and every time an inconsistency took place. To “protect” himself from his son’s corrections, Reverend Awdry started writing down the stories onto pieces of paper to remember every detail.

To add to the storytelling, the Reverend made small sketches and drawings of cute small steam locomotives on the paper, along with the train stories. He drew a set of steam locomotives in an engine shed and added a human face to each of them, thus showing a “human” expression for each one.

One night, while his father was telling him one of the stories, little Christopher noticed a sketch of a small train with a sad face on the paper from which the Reverend was reading. Naturally, he asked his dad why that little train was so unhappy, and inquired what his name was. The Reverend then said the first name that came to his mind: Edward. That was when the first tale came to life. Since then, about a hundred small moral Thomas the Tank Engine tales came out.

The Reverend’s wife thought that those stories were good enough to be published, so they started looking for an editor. Soon, Mr. Edmund Ward (a retired businessman) showed his interest in those stories, and since then there has been a Thomas the Tank Engine book released almost every year.

Surprisingly, Thomas the Tank Engine himself did not appear in the Railway Series until the second book came out in 1946!

The books came with colorful designs that were attractive to children. With a size appropriate to fit a little kid’s hand, the books contained three stories and the stories were written on the left page, while an illustration of a certain part of the narrated events was on the right page. The first illustrator for the first dozen of Thomas the Tank Engine books was a man named C. Reginald Dalby, who established the appearance of all the characters based on the Reverend Awdry’s sketches and the aspect of real steam locomotives.

Many of the stories are based on real happenings and people. For instance, one of Reverend’s Awdry colleagues was a steam collector and is known to have inspired the character of the Vicar who saves “Trevor the Traction Engine” from the scrap heap. Being the most famous train of all times, Thomas the Tank Engine continues bringing healthy entertainment and marvelous, timeless magic stories to children around the world.
