Different types of Mosquito Nets

30 June 2023 / Nusarah

Happy to see you again! Welcome to Nusarah. As summertime is on its way, we think it is the best moment to tell you something about the different types of mosquito nets.

As we all are experiencing a very particular period in our life’s, where traveling might not be the first option we think of right now, let’s try to focus on what would be good for you where you are right now: at home!

Home sweet home

Let’s be honest: Is there anything better than waking up in your own bed, having your books and Netflix around you, kissing your partner, your child, your cat or maybe your turtle good morning and start a new sunny day full of energy! Home is where our clock ticks and our heart beats. There is no place like home.

But before you hit the sack last night, there was something bothering you. A small, undefined feeling like something was missing. Most of the people have these thoughts at night, don’t worry, you are never alone in this world, not even on this one.

You looked around in your cosy bedroom, you repainted it in a beautiful yellow color last year, you looked at the sweet bedside lamps on your commode and the beautiful picture of the Himalaya you made last summer. Probably no Himalaya this year, but that was not what you were thinking.

Something was missing. Around your bed. Something that could just be the finishing touch to make your room look even cosier, but also makes you sure that you wake up fresh and fruity every day.

Let us guess. A mosquito net?

That’s right! But as you are, just like us, part of a generation always struggling with the stress of choosing the right one, let us tell you something about the different types of mosquito nets.

Firstly, what is the best shape of a mosquito net

Let’s say that you are a warm, caring person. Your house is full of photos and cheerful objects, your lights are soft and you adore colorful pillows. Then you might want to think of a round shaped mosquito net with a beautiful wooden ring in the top. Because it fits with how you see life.

Don’t get us wrong, you don’t necessarily have to be vegan for this option, followed an anthroposophical school and have hardcore socialistic parents. You are just who you are.

But maybe you are a straight, always lovable and caring, cool and minimalistic person. Your house is light also in wintertime, you are crazy about technology and simple design and you make better coffee than any barista in town. Then you might want to choose a rectangular or square mosquito net. A strong and defined form that suits you perfectly.

Secondly, what is the best material for a mosquito net

Of course you could freak now out by asking yourself the question: BUT WHICH MATERIAL?

You know there is an amazing English expression saying: Every cloud has a silver lining.

Don’t make it too hard on yourself. The sun is always coming back and will clear up all your thoughts. Any way there are in this case just 2 main options, you can do it.

Cotton vs Polyester mosquito nets

Now it doesn’t only depend on who you are and what your interior looks like, it also depends on where you are at home right now. If you are reading this blog in Sao Paulo, we could suggest to go for Polyester mosquito net. The humidity is high and your mosquitoes are wild.

However, if you’re at home in Skegness right now, we’d absolutely recommend choosing a pure cotton mosquito net for your protection. With an average outdoor temperature of 9.7°C, you might enjoy making your bedroom feel even cozier and warmer with a lovely light cotton mosquito net over your bed.

Here’s a tip: if you close it securely, you could even imagine yourself elsewhere by projecting 360° films of São Paulo onto your net! See, now you don’t even have to travel.

Polyester is consistently a great material used for mosquito nets.

The benefit of this material is that it’s an excellent choice for those with dust allergies; its fine mesh significantly reduces the chance of dust getting through.

If you’re in Scandinavia, Canada, or Scotland, where midges—tiny biting flies similar to mosquitoes—are common, you may want to consider an organic cotton mosquito net for added protection.

Now, all that’s left to decide is the color.

But here’s the good news! We’ve made that choice easy by offering only white and off-white mosquito nets for beds.

Much like how Henry Ford believed black was the ideal color for his cars, we think the most natural and stylish colors for a mosquito net are white and off-white.

If you are looking for a mosquito net for your little one, you have more color options available. You can also choose chiffon, a soft, silky, and intricate material—just the thing for your baby. But we’ll share more on that next time!

So, before you head to bed tonight, don’t worry about what might be missing. There’s a perfect model for everyone to make you feel complete, and we’d be delighted to help you find yours.

Thank you for stopping by!

Good night, and sleep well.
