The most common mistakes when choosing bedding and how to avoid them
Choosing bedding may seem simple—but only at first glance. In practice, many people make the same mistakes, resulting in uncomfortable sleep, rapid material wear, and dissatisfaction with their purchase. How can you avoid them? Here are the most common pitfalls and proven tips from Wivanco.
1. Choosing synthetic materials instead of natural ones – ❌
Microfiber or polyester bedding may be tempting due to its price, but it doesn't provide adequate ventilation. It often causes sweating and a feeling of "stickiness" to the skin.
✅ Choose bedding from 100% cotton satinthat is breathable and skin-friendly – like the one at Wivanco.
2. Too low fabric weight – ❌
Bedding with a low grammage (<120 g/m²) wears out more quickly, loses color and looks cheap.
✅ At Wivanco we use weight 140 g/m², which combines durability with softness.
3. Poor sizing – ❌
A duvet cover that's too small? A pillow that's too big in a pillowcase that's too tight? The wrong size can ruin your sleep.
✅ Check carefully before purchasing dimensions of the mattress and pillows, or better yet, choose ready-made sets from our store.
4. Ignoring security certificates – ❌
The lack of an OEKO-TEX® certificate means there is a risk of harmful substances being present.
✅ All Wivanco bedding has OEKO-TEX® Standard 100, safe even for children and allergy sufferers.
5. Being guided only by appearance – ❌
Design isn't everything! The quality of the sewing, the type of zippers, the stitching, and the finish also matter.
✅ Our products are hand-sewn – with attention to every detail.
