Two things: cotton-ness and thread count. 100% cotton is basic threshold. Buy yourself a big sand paper instead of you go for anything below 300 count More on reddit.com

I've had both ikea (duvet set) and MUJI (sheet set) bedding and I think it's pretty equal depending on what you need. MUJI is slightly better quality and design (imo) but a higher price point, ikea is definitely cheaper for the less good quality stuff but for their worthwhile options similar in price/quality to MUJI. I think there's a few things to consider here: Are you planning on keeping these sheets post grad? Or are you going to upgrade/change bed sizes? If so, I'd find the best option (see questions below) for your taste at the lowest price point. What kind of sheets/sheet texture do you like? I personally love the crisp hotel type bedding and hate the warm, stretchy ones (hot sleeper) so I always look for 100% cotton/cotton percale and stay away from flannel and jersey. Lyocell for me also depends on the %, <30% for me is preferred (it adds a soft satiny texture, but detracts from the crispiness) Are you planning on just having one set of sheets? No matter what I always recommend at least 2. There will be times especially in college where you'll be too tired/busy/drunk to change your sheets and it's too much of a time or energy commitment to wash your sheets. Having a second set of sheets gives you the extra buffer so you don't have to sleep on a naked mattress. You could try one of each and see what you like for the future. Hope this helps!

I think they did, for sure they changed the size of the flat sheets, I can barely tuck the new ones under my queen size mattress. I have a two sets of their old Gaspa and there is a at least four to five inches on both sides that I can tuck under and more on the top and bottom. The new ones have a tiny sliver. They used to be my absolute favourite, especially the pillowcases with the pockets, but my OCD cannot handle using them anymore. More on reddit.com

I love my gaspa sheets! I think the other ones are not as soft. I have the turquoise so I can't say if other colors are see thru, but mine are not. I've had my sheets for at least a year and have not experienced any pilling. More on reddit.com
