5 Common Mistakes to Avoid When Buying Bed Covers Online

Let¡¯s be honest, buying bed covers online seems easy. You scroll, you click, you wait for that ¡°out for delivery¡± notification. Simple, right? But if you've ever unboxed a bed cover that looked nothing like the photo or didn¡¯t fit your bed at all, you know it¡¯s not always that straightforward.

At Eyaas, we¡¯re all about making your bedroom feel like your sanctuary. And that starts with getting the basics right, like choosing the right bed cover.

So before you hit that "Buy Now" button, let¡¯s walk through five common mistakes people make when buying bed covers online and how to avoid them.

1. Not Paying Attention to the Fabric

We get it, the design grabs your attention first. Those soft pastels, bold florals, or minimalist lines might look dreamy on your screen. But here¡¯s the catch: a beautiful design doesn¡¯t mean it feels good to sleep on.

Why it matters:

The type of fabric makes all the difference. If you¡¯ve ever slept under a cover that made you sweat all night or felt rough on your skin, chances are the material was the culprit.

What to look for:

• Cotton ¨C Soft, breathable, and perfect for year-round comfort.
• Linen ¨C Great for summer, has that natural, relaxed look.
• Polyester or blends ¨C Durable and wrinkle-resistant, but not always as breathable.

When shopping at Eyaas, you¡¯ll always find fabric details in the product description, so you know exactly what you're bringing home.

2. Guessing the Size

This one trips up even the savviest online shoppers. You see "king size" or "queen size" and think you're good to go. But hold on, bed sizes aren¡¯t always universal, and neither are bed cover dimensions.

Why it matters:

A cover that's too small won¡¯t tuck in properly, and one that's too big can look bulky or hang awkwardly. Neither is a vibe.

What to do:

Before you add anything to your cart, measure your mattress, including any toppers or thick blankets you use. Then, check the actual dimensions listed in the product details, not just the size name.

Eyaas tip: If you're unsure, size up! It's better to have a little extra fabric than not enough.

3. Forgetting About the Weather

Let¡¯s face it, no one wants to wake up sweaty in the middle of summer because their bed cover is too thick. Or spend winter nights freezing under a lightweight sheet that¡¯s more decorative than functional.

Why it matters:

Bed covers aren¡¯t just for style. They need to match your climate and comfort level, too.

What to consider:

Live somewhere hot? Go for lightweight, breathable fabrics like cotton or muslin.

More chilly nights? Look for quilted or layered covers that keep the warmth in.

At Eyaas, we even label our bed covers based on their season-friendliness so you don¡¯t have to guess whether it¡¯ll work for your weather.

4. Skipping the Care Instructions

You find the perfect bed cover. It fits your style, your budget, your bed. But after one wash, it shrinks, fades, or loses its texture. Sound familiar?

Why it matters:

Every fabric behaves differently in the wash. Some are low-maintenance, while others need a little extra TLC. Knowing that upfront can save you time, effort, and regret later.

What to check:

• Is it machine washable or dry clean only?
• Can it handle hot water or only cold?
• Will the colour fade or bleed in the wash?

At Eyaas, we keep it real. We¡¯ll always tell you how to care for your bed cover right there in the product description.

5. Trusting the Photos Too Much

Online photos are sometimes too pretty. Brands (not us!) often use filters, ideal lighting, and props to make products look better than they really are.

Why it matters:

What looks creamy white on your screen might be yellowish in person. Or that rich green? Turns out it¡¯s closer to teal.

What to do:

Read customer reviews. People will usually tell it like it is.

Look for customer-uploaded photos. These give you a more accurate idea of colour, texture, and overall look.

Stick with brands you trust (like Eyaas!) that give you true-to-life product images and honest descriptions.

Bonus: Don¡¯t Forget the Vibe

A bed cover isn¡¯t just a cover, it¡¯s the first thing you notice when you walk into your bedroom. It sets the mood. It tells a story. It says, This is my space.

So once you¡¯ve ticked all the practical boxes (size, fabric, washability), come back to the fun stuff: Does it feel like you?

Whether you're into calm neutrals, bold patterns, or soft florals, your bed cover should reflect your personality and style. At Eyaas, we make sure you don¡¯t have to compromise between beauty and comfort.

Wrapping It Up

Shopping for bed covers online doesn¡¯t have to be a gamble. With a little attention to detail and a bit of guidance, you can avoid the most common slip-ups and find a cover that looks great, feels amazing, and lasts.

Here¡¯s a quick recap:

• Check the fabric
• Confirm the size
• Consider the climate
• Read the care instructions
• Look beyond the photos

And remember, your bed is more than just furniture. It¡¯s your retreat, your comfort zone, your Sunday morning haven. Choose a bed cover that makes you love coming home.
