Are egyptian cotton sheets worth it?
Frustrated trying to find Egyptian cotton bed sheets... help?
Best Bed Sheet Material / Fabric? Egyptian Cotton vs Bamboo (Viscose or lyocell), etc...
If you can afford 100% linen, it's the absolute best in terms of feel, breathability and especially for controlling temperature. In the US, a quality set is $175 on super seasonal sale *edit at stores like The Company Store or Cuddledown / $200ish at Costco [website only? possibly discontinued?]. I have a set from the Company Store that is fantastic.
If not, 100% cotton and at least 600 thread count "sateen" style is very soft, breathes well, and will last you a good long time.
Do not buy "cotton rich" or any blends. Do not buy rayon or polyester. As another user mentioned, bamboo is so frequently adulterated/falsely labelled and usually feels so cheap, I won't buy it.
EDIT The Company Store (US) is currently having a sale! Their "Comfort Wash" linen sheets are the ones I have (&love). I think the price is what I paid or slightly more. Use code TGHNOV16 for extra 15% off.
