I know no sheets are bitfl, but I don't know what to buy. My skin is super sensitive, and anything remotely scratchy is a hard no. But microfiber sheets just don't hold up long enough. I know 100% cotton or bamboo is the way to go, but am unsure of what brands are quality. Any brand recommendations for comfort/price?

I’m looking for 100% cotton king sheets for under $200. I am most worried about piling and any roughness. What’s your favorite option? It could be organic cotton but not required.

Thank you! I can’t stand the sensory nightmare of my current sheets after they started piling!

EDIT: Next sheets I will try:

• Coyuchi (top contender)

• Kirkland (second contender)

• Quince

• Frette

• Lands End

• Italic

• Sheets from a hotels company like the four seasons bedding store or ritz Carlton bedding store.

Original Post:

It seems like everything is so heavily marketed and influenced. Has anyone recently bought sheets that they believe are truly high quality? Looking for very smooth percale sheets if possible.

I’ve gone through a few brands:

• The Company Store: They recently sold to Home Depot. People say quality has now gone down hill. The customer service email on their website is even down. Looks like they’re still in transition to Home Depot customer service.

• Brooklinen: instagram brand and poor quality

• Red Land Cotton: Very rough, not a whole lot of options. Poor customer service and return policy.

Company I have tried and likes

• LL Bean - I had these for about 4 years before they ripped. I like these more than anything I’ve tried.

• Parachute - got these after LL Bean sheets ripped. Nothing special about them.

Company I still need to try:

• Coyuchi - high reviews and they are the sheets sold at the high end mattress store near my house.

Hi everyone!

I am in search of a unicorn! About 10-15 years ago stores stopped making quality sheets. Every sheet set I’ve bought has been thin and lasted only a year or so. I recently found a bottom sheet stored away from my grandmother. It was very heavy and thick cotton. The label said it was from kohls. She died about 10 years ago so I’m guessing the sheets are from 10-15 years prior. They are the thickness of 2-3 modern sheets. I am happy to spend a few hundred dollars on sheet sets.

finding it so difficult to decide. shopping for SOFT cotton sheets. no micro-fiber, jersey knit, sateen or poly. nothing to slide around on. not a hot sleeper. not super thick or paper thin.

i have used charter club damask, just ok a bit silkier today than the past, hotel collection supima 680 thread count, use those in winter - live in florida. bought a new set for split king for sleep number bed as one of the twin XL ripped. missed return window. hoping they are the same. currently using sleep number supima cotton sheet set. love these sheets although purchased 2 years ago. are they the same today?

need a new set for guest room. wanted to try looking something new. never used cotton/percale. concerned about 5-40 washes until they feel is soft & enjoyable.

i have read and re-read thru numerous postings here on reddit & other bed sheet sites & retailers. never sure if i am reading a true review or a sales pitch.

bought a set of linen sheets from sam’s club that arrive today, read some good reviews and great return policy.

id like more than 7 days to try out sheets.

read about threshold, casaluna, hudson park silk cotton from bloomingdales, kirkland 680 thread-count, pact, ralph lauren 464-thread-count organic cotton percale, Coyuchi, morrow, parachute, bed threads and the list goes on.

another thing i keep reading that fabrics are not the same as 1-2 years ago. trial and error i guess.

white king w/standard cases. do not use king pillows.

what are you sleeping on & or have slept on that you love in a soft cotton? & why?

Even after reading about it, i have little idea of how each material would feel. I have always used the cheapest stuff available. Needs to be machine-washable. I want something soft. I don't mind a break in period. Budget is 100-250usd, if it's durable.

ETA: Thank you all!

Does anyone have recommendations for cotton sheets and comforters that aren’t outrageously priced?

Just following up to another user that asked about good Duvets my wife and I are looking for a high end set of king size sheets. Duvet cover, fitted, pillow cases, etc. We bought the 600 thread count ones from Costco and they are nice but we want one set of expensive high thread count sheets

I am searching for the perfect sheets that are worth their price. Also, I'm not looking to spend $500 for a set. What are your favorite cotton sheets? I prefer sheets that feel thick and durable (definitely not see-through), very soft, and that don't get too wrinkled when washed.

I used to go to any department store and buy good quality cotton sheets. Smooth, thick, buttery soft cotton for a reasonable price (max $200). Now they don’t seem to exist anywhere. Everything is rough and scratchy, or so thin I can see through them. What happened? What changed? I would love recommendations but please don’t mention Company Store, Lands End, or Brooklinen. The first two have declined in quality and Brooklinen is awful.

does anyone have recommendations for super soft and buttery smooth cotton sheet sets? any type of cotton, as long as there is no scratchiness to them, where it's like you can feel the fibre. i am very picky with bedsheets. the ultimate test is when you rub the pillowcase on your face, if i can feel any roughness/texture i hate it.

for context - approx 10 years ago i discovered KAS sheets and straight from the packet they were so soft and smooth, never had any roughnness/scratchy/itchiness to them at all. and today those sets are just so buttery soft (although my fitted sheets did rip after about 8 years, but i've kept the pillowcases).

about 5 years ago i bought new KAS sheets and they were immediately noticeably different and much worse quality. they took FOREVER to soften and smooth out but they are ok now, stupidly i bought another set 2 years ago and they're still rough, they have not softened as much as the set 3 years prior, so seemingly went even further downhill.

i didn't mind the sheridan 400tc from their outlet (they do take a little while to smooth out and they're not as good as the OG kas), but they've discontinued that range and the 500tc is not as nice feeling and too thick (of course!).

on the main sheridan site, the 375tc are horrendous and the 500tc are far too crisp and not very smooth anyway.

i've tried heritage from myer and they aren't very soft/smooth, they pilled after a couple washes also.

sheet society were even worse than kas ones i bought 5 years ago, but i think they ended up softening more than KAS did, but they're still not as good as OG KAS.

basically, i want a sheet set in the quality that KAS use to be, anyone know of any? it's just disappointing because the OG kas spoiled me and now it seems like i can never find that level of comfort again!

I hit the jackpot one year at Marshalls by getting a 100% 400 tc Egyptian cotton sateen ecru Waverly sheet set for $50. Waverly's not an expensive brand, but those sheets were so incredibly soft and wafty. I got a set for my parents and one for myself. The 400 tc meant they were wonderful for a few years and eventually fell apart - still worth it. They don't make them anymore, or I'd pay to get them.

Since then, whenever I go to to TJs, I feel around the sheet sets and towels, hoping for another good find. But nothing has stood out so far other than a $180 set that I just couldn't afford to buy at the time. Tuesday Morning had some Sferra percale sheets that were amazing, but that's the closest I've come since, and there's no replacement for Tuesday Morning. Has anyone found a good deal at the TJ stores or can offer brands they love? I try to judge based on the nap of the material, but most are rough or don't have the smoothness to indicate they'll stay smooth.

That about sums it up! I love for them to be soft, breathable, and not wrinkle easily. I don't really care about thread count. I've had very expensive sheets and hated them and settled previously on my IKEA Natjjasmin Sheets for the last 5 years and just need to change them do to changing colors of the bedding. I want some bold colored sheets, emerald green, deep teal, deep gold, deep plum, etc. Let me know if you have any recommendations for some long lasting, comfortable, stylish, and affordable sheets.

I struggle with buying textiles in general. It seems like clothing and curtains and towels and other fabrics are just cheap and don't last very long.

For sheets, I feel like thread count is misleading. I've gotten sheets that have a high thread count, that feel like tent fabric and rip instantly. I'm looking for thick durable high quality cotton sheets that will last a while. This is kind of one of those things that I always have difficulty with and I never seem to get the right thing.

Does anyone have any suggestions?

I'm looking for a new brand. So tell me what is your favorite.

Okay, I don't fully understand sheets, but I've tried and I need help. I keep buying "soft" sheets, and then when I use them, they're just...sheets.

But! There were some sheets I bought in person before Bed, Bath, & Beyond closed their brick and mortar stores that were just luxurious. I don't think they were jersey sheets, but I guess they might have been cause that's the only type of sheet that comes close. I can't remember anything else about them except they were so soft that I used to just climb into bed randomly to enjoy how soft they were. I'm an insomniac and these made laying in bed unable to sleep a delight. There's a poem by Danusha Lameris called Feeding the Worms (link to another Reddit post with the poem) and in those sheets, I felt like a worm described in that poem except with touch instead of taste. Seriously they just made me so happy to be alive and able to feel that kind of softeness around me. They inspired peace deep in my soul.

Maybe I'm just being cheap and I need to spend more than $60 on sheets to get that kind of softness in a non-jersey sheet, but within that price range I've tried Cosy House, Ugg, polyester, tencel, and random sets with high reviews and praise, and every set is just not what I'm looking for. I'm only avoiding jersey because I am not so heat tolerant these days, but if that's really the only way I'll get that softness, I'll accept it. I just need to know for sure that's the case from you, fine redditor sheet specialists.

If that's not the case though, I would love to know what I should buy for a softness that makes a person forget the human condition for a little while. I'm willing to go up to $100, but higher than that and my husband will probably protest.

Thank you for any help in advance!!
