Desperate For New Sheets.

Stardust2 — Thu, 09 Mar 2017 12:54:26 GMT

I haven't bought new sheets in many years but it's that time again. I have to shop on line as I live 60 miles from the closest city and I am handicapped.

I love the Northern Nights sheets from 10 to 15 years ago but not the new ones. Looking for 100% cotton with a weight to them. No flannel.They last for years.

Any tips or item numbers would be greatly appreciated.

Thanking you in advance and have a lovely day.

I broke down and bought 100% cotton from LL Bean a couple of years ago. Great sheets and wash well. You might watch for a promotion. Occasionally LLB offers discounts but you want to watch for them. Signing up for their emails will help ensure you receive them. Once you receive one, you can go back and stop their emails if you want.

I'm not fond of Lands Ends sheets. I just didn't like how wrinkled they were right out of the dryer.

I used to swear by JC Penney sheets but the last set I bought wore out too fast so I didn't buy anymore.

I've been looking for a long time for new sheets.

I want 100% cotton - not a sateen finish, something that stays cool and doesn't make noise when you turn over.

The last set I bought were one of Targets Threshold brand and they were awful. My husband wanted to know if I made the bed with plastic shower curtains. They got put into the box of painting stuff to be used as drop cloths.

My suggestion would be steer clear of anything here at Q. Their quality is nothing like what you remember from a decade or more ago.

If ordering online, look for a company that will accept returns free if possible, in case you don't like them when they arrive.

The best sheets I've found in a long time were at Sam's Club a few years back, but they don't carry the brand anymore.

THreshold sheets from Target are the best sheets I have ever bought in 45 years of buying sheets.

Tuesday Morning sometimes has fabulous 100 percent cotton sheets, the best often coming from Portugal. Put your hand in the package and feel the quality.

You can get good sheets at Homegoods and TJ Maxx sometimes too. Good sheets are wonderful to sleep on and will last years longer than cheap sheets. It is something worth investing in for the comfort.

We haven't had anything but all cotton in 25 years or more.

@hopiBought those sheets yesterday and they are deeply discounted. Had a yellow *clearance* sign up at display, but didn't ring up on sale---regular price. They adjusted.

Came home and went online and ordered several more sets. They are on sale online, also.

You need to get an adjustment--if you purchased them recently.

I vote for LL Bean sheets, they are my favorite.

If you are looking for sheets with a weight to them, look for PERCALE.

The Target Threshold percale sheets are wonderful.

Bamboo sheets from Cariloha are nice soft & very comfy. I would not buy cotton unless it states 100% Egyptian, Pima or Turkish.

If you want heaft cotton sheets get Egyptian cotton. They are durable, nicely weighted, and silky! I got some over on Evine and Macys and even WalMart dot com.

@CelticCrafter, I tried the Threshold sheets from target. I wasn't that fussy about them either. I look for the 100% cotton percale that are crispy, not plasticy if that is a word. LM

Has anyone bought sheets from My Pillow? If so, I'd appreciate 'hearing' your opinions and experiences.

I understand about long-staple threads not needing to be high thread count. I know, too, that not all Egyptian threads are high-end, and just am not sure about Giza 88 quality. I found a scientific chart (with way TMI for my needs) that kinda-sorta showed Giza 88 to be middle-of-the-road for Egyptian thread.

Others may not be happy with these, but we love them. I went back and ordered another set!

For all of you nice ladies who suggested sheets for me, a big thank you! I ordered the Wamsutta sheets from Bed Bath and Beyond. Couldn't wait to get them in the washer for a prewash. Slept one night on them and loved them! I haven't had sheets comfortable in many years and what a bargain! Ordered two sets and will order more tomorrow.

II am so grateful for these boards to lead me in the right direction.

God Bless you all.
