What's the worst bed sheet color to choose? Our sleep editor advises on a better choice

An example of the worst bed sheet colors - red bed sheets by Piglet in Bed

The bed sheet color you choose can completely change the look of your bedroom. Opting for fresh white sheets will keep your room looking clean and bright, blue contributes towards a feeling of tranquillity, and purple can inject opulence into an otherwise plain room. If you're not planning on painting your walls anytime soon, getting some colored bed sheets is a simple way to style your space. 

The right bed sheet color can also help you sleep. Yes, light, cool colors can be problematic at night, by alerting your brain and keeping you awake, but they are also the most breathable. Dark, warm colors can help you wind down, but they're also prone to trapping heat.
