Help me find all cotton (Egyptian or long staple cotton) percale weave bed sheets! - The Chat Board - The Well-Trained Mind Community
July 1, 2025 - I've looked everywhere. PB has a nice set but I don't care for the colors. What is similar to PB? Any brand name ideas? I've tried Dillards, Macy's, Belk, LLBean and Lands' End. I may have to go back to Lands' End and that's fine but was looking for another option. Usually the percale is lower t....

r/Bedding on Reddit: Thick cotton sheets
August 13, 2024 -
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.

Honestly I get mine used from estate sales and yard sales. If the home belongs to an elderly person they usually have a good stash of sheets nicer than anything available for sale now. Hot water wash with disinfectant and you’re golden.

I just bought a set from American Blossom Linens and part of my criteria was that they were thick. They advertise them as being "crisp, thick, and heavy". I'm still waiting to receive them but I can let you know! They're $$$ but do have a 2 year return policy.

August 13, 2024Where can I find truly high-quality bed sheets?
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). Source: I have been in bedding manufacturing awhile and I own a bedding company u/supamil More on reddit.com

September 8, 2023Where to find durable high quality cotton sheets?
(US) I like Target's Threshold brand. The ones I buy are sold individually (not as a set) so if my bottom sheet wears out before the top sheet (I use a top sheet and comforter), I can just replace the bottom sheet. My favorite feature of them is that they have double elastic on the bottom sheet to fit mattresses of all depths. And it is fool proof as there are tags on the sheet that say TOP OR BOTTOM and SIDE so you know what direction to put it. More on reddit.com

August 11, 2018 - What brand and type of sheets are the softest and smoothest? I don’t care if they wrinkle, but I hate the feeling of percale and can’t stand pilling. I had a couple sets of Wamsutta that I bought in 1998 that lasted at least 10 years and got softer with each wash. I have not found anything remotely close in the 10 years since. Give me your faves! ... I bought the Costco "Hotel" brand. Probably the best feeling sheets I've owned, and I've owned Natori, Ralph Lauren, etc.

1 month ago - Coyuchi’s “cloud-brushed” set is very thick and cozy but also surprisingly breathable. I slept comfortably through the night in the sheets — paired with my loftiest down comforter — without feeling hot or clammy at all.
