Have you ever bought something like bed sheets based on the wrong information and then regretted it for not selecting the correct one?

Just because you believe in something does not mean that it is true- Albert Einstein 

Myths are usually thought of as beliefs that are not true. having wrong beliefs can be harmful because they can lead us in the wrong direction. They might hold us back or steer us away from progress. To make good decision, we need to have the right information. This applies to all aspects of life, including shopping.

To believe without evidence and demonstration is an act of ignorance and folly- Socrates

Myth 1: Higher thread count always means better quality sheets.

We have some famous questions related to this myth. First question is "is the higher thread count better?" Many people think that the higher thread count sheets refer to the better quality. Which is not the right belief in order to buy any best bed sheets; other factors also play their role in making the sheets the perfect ones. To make the right choice, we can't just focus on one thing. We need to consider all the factors that make something extraordinary, like your softest sheet. Other factors  that contribute to making the bed sheet of better quality are the material or the fabric we are using to make sheets. Then we have waves, which refers to the arrangement of the fabric, and the last factor, finishing, where we applied different processes to affect the softness and smoothness of the bed sheets.

 Myth 2: Higher thread count sheets are always warmer.

The next misconception we have is that if there is a higher threat count in our sheets, then the sheet must be warm. Like the above- stated myth, where the better quality will be affected by other factors, we also consider these factors before assuming them to be warm or cool sheets. There are a number of different fabrics and materials that are used in making bed sheets. Cotton, Linen, polyester, bamboo, wool, and silk are the most known fabrics, and cotton-polyester combination is an example of materials that are used in making bed sheets.

Myth 3: Price Equals Quality

Many of us do not know why people always buy those things that cost more than those are not as expensive and question themselves. Is price an indicator of quality? The article "Consumer Perception of Product Quality" talks about how people see products. It says "that many people think that if something costs more, it must be better. They use the price to judge how well the product is", Now the real question we have is, "Does a higher price mean better quality? The idea that the more expensive something is, the better its quality is a common misconception.

No amount of belief makes something a fact,-- James Randi

While a higher price can sometimes mean better quality, it is not always true. Just because something costs more does not always make it better. The price of something is not the only thing that tells you how good it is. Other stuff matters too, like how well-known the brand is , how much they spend on ads, and how much the store adds to the price. Sometimes, things cost more just because they are not easy to find or because people think they are fancy, not because they are actually better. But, there are also lots of cheaper options that are just as good, especially with all the new ways things are made now, So. when you are trying to decide  if something is good quality, do not just look at the price.

Myth 4: You only need to change your Sheets every few weeks 

In our busy lives, we are all caught up in the rush of daily routines. Amidst the hustle and bustle, it is crucial to carve  out a peaceful and healthy environment for ourselves. This includes maintaining  cleanliness to safeguard our health and well-being. Changing your sheets regularly is actually quilts essential. If you  are unsure about how often to change your bed sheets, it is important to consider some key facts.

• Taking care of our health involves paying attention to proper hygiene. Many believe that changing our bed sheets often is not necessary, but that is not true. An Article in the Columbia Tribune explains that humans shed dead skin cells, creating about 10 grams per week-- around 300,00 dead skin cells each night. These cells build up in bedding, especially the bed, where most people spend about a third of their lives sleeping.
• Apart from shedding skin cells, human also sweat a lot. According to the same article, each night, a person can produce as mush as 1 quart of sweat while sleeping. This sweat soaks into our sheets, creating an ideal environment for bacteria and allergens to thrive. Therefore, regularly changing our bed sheets is important  for maintaining cleanliness and avoiding potential health issues.

• Furthermore, neglecting to wash our bed sheets as often as necessary can lead o various health issues. An Article titled "Not Washing Bed Sheets can trigger these four medical conditions" warns that we may be inviting conditions such as Eczema, Pneumonia, Acne, and Asthma into our lives.
