Lawana Posted December 15, 2013 Share Posted December 15, 2013 I want to give sDIL sheets for Christmas. Anyone have a best buy rec? I prefer all cotton, not sateen. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
zoobie Posted December 15, 2013 Share Posted December 15, 2013 Costco's Kirkland sheet sets are awesome. They're all cotton. I'm not sure if they're sateen or percale weave, but they don't have the weird slippery feeling that cheap sateen sheets do. I prefer these to much more expensive sheets. They're $79.99 for a king set? I think? I wish they sold extra pillowcases though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
goldberry Posted December 15, 2013 Share Posted December 15, 2013 Listening....I need new sheets but am afraid to buy, last time I got little pills the first time I washed! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LibraryLover Posted December 15, 2013 Share Posted December 15, 2013 Land's End or LL Bean. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LuvToRead Posted December 15, 2013 Share Posted December 15, 2013 I starte buying LL Beans sheets and I love one. I even returned a fitted sheet a year after I bought it because it started to wear through, and they replaced it. They even paid shipping both ways.

kitten18 Posted December 15, 2013 Share Posted December 15, 2013 The IKEA Gaspa sheets are the best sheets I have ever owned. They are $40 for the king set. I have had many sets of much, much more expensive sheets but these are by FAR the best. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Isabella Posted December 17, 2013 Share Posted December 17, 2013 Not sure if you can get them in the US, but I LOVE Actil First Line sheets. They are hotel quality, all cotton. I love how thick they are. I just got 2 pairs on a very good special last week, a king and queen set for $139 together. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gardenmom5 Posted December 17, 2013 Share Posted December 17, 2013 I worked in a high end bedding store for awhile. sateen is a weave and has nothing to do with the fiber content. it's a softer weave, but not as durable. A long staple cotton (supima or egyptian) will be smoother than short staple (those have more ends with which to poke you.) I've been very happy with the set I bought at costco. don't remember the thread count but it was high, pretty sure they were supima, finished edges, very durable, and smooth and soft. for about $80 for king. liked them better than a set of sheets for which I paid alot more elsewhere. (I recently bought a higher end set from land's end - on clearance - no. only for looks.) bed bath & beyond also has good sheets. I would stay away from places like sears, target, or walmart Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I would stay away from places like sears, target, or walmart I had horrible results from sheets purchased at WM....but I was desperated and couldn't afford 'good' sheets....so I bought a $29 set (queen) from Wal-Mart and was pleasantly surprised! They have really held up. Thread count is 250....they are crisp which is what I like. I don't like silky. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Forget-Me-Not Posted December 17, 2013 Share Posted December 17, 2013 We have sheets from Costco too. They are very nice and smooth and have deep pockets. The set I bought had 4 pillowcases. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lawana Posted December 17, 2013 Author Share Posted December 17, 2013 Thanks all. Wish I had a Costco close. Llbean and Lands End are above my price range. And yes, I know sateen is a weave. I guess I should have specified cotton FIBER, not sateen WEAVE. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lawana Posted December 17, 2013 Author Share Posted December 17, 2013 Hey I didn't know it so I learned something today. :)Sorry, feeling a bit touchy I guess. And in case you want to know more, sateen weave is where the horizontal (weft) yarns are floated over a number (4 or 7 or 11, for example) of the vertical (warp) yarns during the weaving process. The result is a shiny, smooth, soft fabric, but with poor abrasion resistance. That is why sateen sheets tend to wear out very quickly. Also, the extremely high thread count sheets are sateen weave, since there are so relatively few weaving intersections:) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Someone else used "crisp" to describe Walmart sheets, and I realized that is a good way to describe my sheet preference. These billion-thread count sheets drive me batty. I want a sheet that fights back. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I could go on and on but then I'd look like a lunatic. I want a sheet that fights back. This just made me laugh and laugh and laugh. It might be the wine. But, thank you.

I want a sheet that fights back. Definitely not soft, nor yet as crisp as some I've seen. I'd probably say heavy and firm. Just feels like old fashioned quality! I think I feel the same as you about the high thread count sheets! I like your wording! :) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kalmia Posted December 18, 2013 Share Posted December 18, 2013 Are you thinking of a percale weave? I think they are quite crisp and were popular when I was growing up. I have never purchased them so can't speak of their quality but Garnet Hill uses "crisp" in the definition of their percale sheets. (FYI: They have a larger selection of prints in percale than what I linked to below.) http://www.garnethill.com/hemstitched-supima-c2ae-percale-bedding/bedding-bath/sheets/percale-sheets/221425 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
