I’ll be following this thread also…I’m doing a lot of research and I’ve decided the bedding industry is the absolute worst of all time. You can go down a 5 hour rabbit hole and still have no clue. With that stand I’ve found out a few things. Top 2 bedding materials are LONG STAPLE cotton in either a percale or sateen weave. Or high quality linen. Percale is more breathable and a more relaxed look. Sateen cotton is more “crisp” and has a cozier feel but doesn’t breath as well. Linen used to be something that lasts generations but now it seems all brands don’t last all that long unfortunately. Linen wrinkles and gives off a very “lived in” vibe. It’s the best for hot sleepers and starts off kinda rough but gets softer over time to become incredibly soft. It’s also more expensive and while I wouldn’t made the extra cost if it lasted as long as they advertise I don’t think any of the sheet brands do because they make them thinner and prewash this with different chemicals to make them comfortable right out of the bag. I’ve seen a ton of reviews for the most popular brand (brooklinen, parachute, west elm, RH, etc) all give out after 2-4 years. For long staple cotton the brand I’ve decided I’m going to go with after all my research is Boll and Branch. They have Sateen and Percale weaves. No clue if they are the best but based on reviews and such they look solid. For Linen the brand that seems to stand out amongst the rest is Linoto. Their linen is supposedly much thicker than other brands with users reportedly going on 5+ years on the same sheets with no signs of wearing yet. The caveat is they take a few months of use and washes before they become soft and comfortable. This is the trade off with linen. Want durability? Then give up comfort right out of the bag. The other option for linen I have seen if buying a set on Etsy from sellers in Lithuania as they make the best linen in the world apparently . I personally will avoid this option just because I’d rather order from a reputable brand for my first time luxury bedding option. More on reddit.com
