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 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

Having this same issue in Thailand. I keep re searching the website thinking I typed the word wrong. Also not easy to find anything online anywhere that's just a 100% cotton sheet haha 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!
