I searched this question and I am posting the top answer in one of the posts: $75 isn't much of a sheet budget to be honest. Especially if you are going for buy it for life status with the best comfort. It just wont happen. Some people say look at thread count but that doesn't give any indicator since manufactures started counting individual plies (the tiny fiber that makes a single thread) triple and quadrupling numbers. Some people say look at Egyptian cotton, this is just as big a scam as thread count. It doesn't actually mean anything. Long ago it used to since Egyptian cotton had a longer staple but today its just a marketing word that means very little. All in all you need to look at material/weave and price. Cotton is great if you want some crisper sheets, decently durable. 100% cotton is gonna wrinkle like crazy though. Silk is nice in that it is supremely smooth, but it traps heat and is really slippery, I personally don't like that feeling but you may(not in your current budget) Bamboo(rayon, viscose bamboo) is a synthetic that is really soft feeling and smooth. A very good in between to cotton and silk but its not durable. If you like really nice sheets but don't mind replacing them every 5 years go with these. (again, not in your current budget, dont buy the cheap ones, terrible) Linen is great if your going for buy it for life status, its robust and becomes softer with every wash. Only downside is, is that its not that soft and smooth but I find linen to be nice and cool. Its expensive, again not it your current budget but you can actually buy used for this since its bifl Microfiber also like bamboo in its softness but its even worse in the durability dept. You can buy cheap ones but you'll be replacing often. I also find they trap heat. Jersey cotton, its T-shirt fabric. IF your into that go to target and drop $15 on them. I dont recommend this because I am not a barbarian but some people like it. You'll be replacing these every year. Honestly that's pretty much it, i'm sorry to say but you can't get truly good sheets on a relatively low budget. Once you get around 130-260 your gonna find some good ones, I wouldn't pay more than that. After that its just name brand. Also Find sheets with warranty, or a trial period (good sheets usually come with these).

January 27, 2024Good Quality Affordable Bed Sheets in 2023
I’ve tried soooo many different sheets/brands. Finally landed on ‘H by Frette’ percale sheets. Crisp, cotton, cool sheets. I feel like I’m sleeping in a Four Seasons bed. The “H” line is the more affordable option. I purchased mine on Bloomingdale’s and directly with H by F. More on reddit.com

October 25, 2023Why is it so hard to find good sheets?
Here is the ultimate advice when it comes to sheets. Stay away from bamboo or silk and especially stay away from polyester. In general, try to stay away from anything synthetic. Linen can be good but I personally hate the feel as do most. It’s usually not soft at all when you first get it and takes a long time. Go with 100% high quality cotton and get a Percale weave if you prioritize breathability or a Sateen weave If you prefer a soft and silky feel. Both are great, percale can still be soft and sateen can still breathe. Everything’s relative. You may be asking what is a high quality cotton? It’s anything classified as being long or extra long staple cotton. The best cottons in the world include Giza 45 or Sea Island cotton. They’re also extremely expensive. My pillowcases made of Giza 45 Luxe from Sferra cost $400 each. That’s their top range and is obviously not practical or necessary in order to have a comfortable sleep. Buy the most expensive sheets you can afford. You’ll be happy you did. MOST IMPORTANT rule about sheets are the quality of the material and to find that, you need to shop at trusted brands. If you’re willing to spend on something good, go for the brands Frette, Sferra, Letto, Schlossberg, St. Genève or Matouk. The more you spend the better it’ll be. They all have entry level sheets that are still great compared to 99% of what’s out there. Don’t worry about thread count as most companies artificially inflate the number using a variety of methods.

Hi, I am moving to a new house and want new bed sheets. I am used to some Old and crappy ones and want to try something new.
I have been browsing and ready for a while but most reviews are worthless now as brands like the company store and Brooklinen have decrease its quality. Based on what I have read, I am looking for cotton (long staple) and sateen weave. Any recommendation would be appreciated.
Budget: 100-220 usd

The best sheets I’ve bought in that price range are the Threadmill Luxury Supima Cotton Sheets, in fact, they might be the best sheets I’ve ever bought at any price range (they are on my bed right now)

But we find that thread count isn’t necessarily an indication of quality. One of the best sheets in our tests, the L.L.Bean Pima Cotton Percale, has a claimed thread count of only 280, yet our tests find that these sheets are soft and strong.

Coyuchi (top contender)
Kirkland (second contender)
Quince

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.

high‑quality sheets come down to three things: fiber, weave, and budget. thread count isn’t the magic number it’s made out to be. anything much above 400 is usually marketing, with manufacturers counting plies to inflate the number. egyptian cotton used to mean long‑staple fibers that were smoother and stronger, but now it’s mostly a label slapped on average cotton. weave makes a big difference. percale is crisp and cool, great for a fresh feel. sateen is smoother, has more sheen, and runs warmer. both can be excellent when the base cotton is good. fiber types have their own personalities. 100% cotton is breathable and durable but will wrinkle. linen is pricey, starts out textured, and softens beautifully over time while lasting decades. bamboo/viscose feels silky but the fibers wear out faster. microfiber is inexpensive and soft but traps heat and breaks down quickly. for long‑lasting sheets, aim for long‑staple cotton like pima or supima in a percale or sateen weave, around 300–500 thread count. something like the threadmill 800tc sateen set uses quality cotton, solid stitching, and avoids blended fibers. budget around $120–$200 for a set that will hold up for years. cheaper sheets may feel nice at first but tend to pill, fade, or lose smoothness within a year or two. better ones actually improve with washing and can easily last a decade or more.
