I'm interested in purchasing the Frette Hotel Classic set.

I have a percale set that I sleep on currently and while I enjoy them, they lack that hotel crispness that I crave. I'm a big fan of the cool, almost crunchy yet still smooth texture.

I'm looking for my "one and done" adult sheet set, so I don't mind the splurge.. as long as it's justified. Any insight is appreciated :)

Hi all! I’m getting super confused and maybe I don’t need to be, hoping someone here can help me out.

So I know percale best, and sferra for example has 4 different “levels” with different names. Ex) I have the Celeste duvet and Giza pillowcases and sheets. But I’m too afraid to use the Giza sheets bc of how expensive they were and how I’m not a fastidious person who wants to panic everytime I use a pen in bed or when my dogs skin tags burst.

I’ve been looking to add to my bedding and want to keep it more reasonable going forward bc that expensive bedding life anxiety isn’t for me at this moment in my priorities. I see many on eBay listed without the group names, no where visible on the packaging. The listings get as confusing as sferra’s and frette’s websites… Some are 600TC extra long staple cotton, some are 300tc long staple cotton percale. I don’t know how to compare any of them, or what the prices originally are because there’s no group/name to look up beyond the manufacturer. Is there a buying guide somewhere? Or a rule of thumb? Is it normal to have this many variations? Are they even real?

I already know to only buy the ones from Italy and that “at home” and casa Luna aren’t the same thing. I’d like a basic set of sateen and a basic set of percale.

Hello!

I had Pratesi Tre Righe sheets on my queen bed before moving in with my now-husband and getting a king. The Pratesi lasted another decade on our guest bed but just tore in half with the last washing.

I’m looking for a slightly more affordable replacement and trying to figure out the options in current brands. Sferra is straightforward but Frette seems to have a bunch of poorly disambiguated lines and it’s not clear if some cost more due to embroidery details or overall cotton quality. Does anyone have a stack rank handy?

My rough guess is:

1.) Hotel collection (cheapest) 2.) Lux percale (almost same price as hotel when you consider sale, but is also 50% off right now so maybe it’s higher up in the list in actual quality?) 3.) One Bourdon 4.) Classic 5.) Contemporary percale 6.) and then it looks like all the super high end ones are sateen, not percale?

Basically, I’m looking for something similar to this description of all the myriad Ralph Lauren lines, though it doesn’t need to be that wordy; even correcting my list above would be amazing.

Thank you!!

Hi bedding people! I recently bought Sferra Celeste percale sheets, they arrived last week. I bought them from Bloomingdale’s, so I know they are authentic. I washed them according to the instructions, put them on my bed, and well… they don’t feel any better than my Brooklinen percale sheets. In fact I think they feel less smooth. Am I judging them too soon? Do they need a few washes to feel better?

Hello! So, I've been looking for a new fitted sheet. Over the past two years ive gone through two Mulberry Park 22 momme sheets. The first lasted a year before the foot area got a hole. Admittedly I didn't take super good care of my calluses. So I got another end of December 2023 and made sure to exfoliate every shower. (I got into skin care around this time). However about a month ago a hole appeared where my hips are. That made absolutely no sense to me and it hasn't even been a year! I don't wash it like crazy either. Im not a restless sleeper. The foot area I can understand but this was just ridiculous.

Anyways. Im not shilling out another $200 for basically a sheet subscription that may or may not last annually.

I did love the feeling of the sheets though. Very smooth and cooling. It was so easy to turn in bed with barely any friction. I am now on the hunt for more sheets as Ive had to slap on my old Walmart ones again.

I've noticed Sferra is popular in this subreddit so I was curious. I'm aware it's not silk but it seems to have a reputation for durability and comfort. As much as I'd love to grab Giza 45 I just can't spend $600+, at least not now. There are a lot of other options and Ive seen Celeste might be another favorite? Though some say it'll be rough the first few washes but gets better.

Basically what fitted sheet can I get with a budget of $300 that will replace my torn silks? Thanks!

PS: My bed is a full.
