Frequently asked questions
What does GSM mean for sheets?
GSM stands for grams per square meter and indicates the fabric weight. A higher GSM generally means a denser, heavier fabric, while a lower GSM is lighter and more breathable.
Which GSM is best for summer?
Lighter weights are often preferred for summer because they feel cooler and more breathable. The ideal GSM also depends on your personal preference for feel and the specific use of the sheets.
Can I use the same sheets all year?
Yes, you can, but you might prefer different weights for different seasons. Many people choose medium-weight sheets for year-round comfort, while others switch to lighter or heavier options depending on the season.
