TSV SHEETS......

nana59 — Wed, 21 Sep 2016 07:17:11 GMT

Why would the price of a twin set of sheets be the same as a set of king sized sheets....doesn't make sense to me......

It is an easy way to price a product.

So unless you are buying king sized, everyone else is getting ripped off.

No. IIf you need twins, you decide if the price is fair for a twin set. If it is, what difference does it make that Kings are cheaper? It's the size beds you have and if you consider the price fair.

If the price is not fair for the twins, you don't buy them. No one is ripped off. It's a choice and a decision.

I have never understood the rationale for the way QVC prices sheets sets.

Then a size 3x item should cost more than an xxs since it uses more material. I actually agree with the fact it should cost more but this is QVC's pricing policy and one can always shop elsewhere.

LOL, the things people will obsess over. Personally it's a great deal for me. I have a Cal King. And this is the brand I like.

Shopping channels are the only places where any size sheet set is priced the same, You don't find that in brick and mortar stores.

I really don't care about the pricing lol, what I would like to see is better colors. To me, the only nice color is the sea glass. Where are the pinks, peaches, yellows, etc?

I'm sure there are several reasons, but the only one I can think of is that they sell more of the larger sizes so they price for those.

I see lots of "bargains" for single bed sheets although I need none. I bought sheets for my day bed 25 years ago and have never once bought single bed sheets again. No reason to.

Related to this - I went mattress shopping with a friend a few years ago. She wanted to try a Sleep Comfort bed and had planned to buy a full size instead of a queen so she'd have a few extra feet of space in her bedroom. Guess what? The full size cost more than the queen! According to the salesman it was because they sold so few that their costs were higher and they couldn't offer the same deals.

It may be an easy way to price a product, but in retail stores they price by the size of the sheets. I'll pass all day every day on their sheets for this reason.

Not necessarily. If you do some pricing comparisons, so people are selling similar sheets where the TWIN set is over $100. So if these are under $90, then everyone is saving and the people buying Kings are saving more.

Or you can buy your twin sheets for less elsewhere if you find them for less elsewhere.

Just be a smart shopper, no matter what you're buying or who you're buying from.

There are brick & motor stores who price all sheet sizes the same. I have been looking for sheets because I want to get away from the microfiber ones I have and go back to cotton or cotton/blend.

One of the places I looked was Kohls. The day I went, they had a number of sheet sets that were all the same price regardless of what size you needed. And a lousy set of 275 TC sheets were $109.00!

If I had a twin bed and thought the price was good for a set of twin sheets, which based on my shopping, the TSV price is good, I wouldn't hesitate to buy them. It wouldn't make a bit of difference to me that the other sizes were the same price. It just matters what the price is for the size I need. If I thought they were too much for a twin set, I'd pass.

It would be downright silly to pay more money than the TSV for a twin set of sheets just because all the sizes of the TSV are priced the same and another stores aren't.

Other places do it, too.

I just ordered a set from here because they say it doesn't wrinkle easily. I hate that and the latest set I bought gets huge wrinkles. I can't stand that.

Took me a minute to 'get' the picture.

I looked at them, even though I don't need sheets. Very very neutral on the colors. But my issue is mostly that I tend to buy 'tone on tone' stripe sheets. That way I get the fitted sheet on right the first time.

Due to limitations, putting sheets on my bed is a bit of a difficulty, so the last thing I need is trying to remember which way it goes. Flat sheet is easy because it has the wider hem for the top.

I am The Princess & The Pea when it comes to bed . I don't like them too hard and I am picky about the sheets. Someone once gave us a set of real satin sheets and the pillows and DH and I kept sliding off.

They have to be smooth and soft. When my new set gets a wrinkle/fold in it, I have to get up and straighten it out, it's uncomfortable.

Hey Noel!

OMG - back, I believe, in the 70s satin sheets were all the rage. I got some satin sheets. Even back then I loved black & red so I had a black & red bedroom (hey, I'm a Scorpio - what can i say!).

Anyway, so I get these satin sheets - pillows won't stay on the bed. Humans can't stay on the bed. Just way too slick. Kind of funny, in retrospect!

I'm a cotton girl! Has to be good quality, ALL cotton and I'm good. All my bedding is cotton.

It is funny @chickenbutt It's hilarious

That's when we got them, too. I literally slid off one night. What was really funny was watching DH try to manage staying in one place, lol.
