@Anonymous032819 , only naturally 100% cotton percale for me.  I love a crisp sheet and they are hard to find.  Llbean sells percale.  Don’t go for microfibre or poly.  Terrible stuff.  Don’t go for wrinkle free either...they use chemicals to make it so.  

Good luck in your quest!  LM

I was using 100 % cotton sheets for years but found out  ( just by chance ) that the cotton/ poly blend are just as cool or cooler for me.   Plus they are easier to take care, they dry faster than cotton.  My Vornado air circulator is on almost every night plus I have an oscillating fan pointed at the foot on my bed.  AND I too hate those microfiber horrors.  Who could ever sleep with microfiber wrapped around them?  yikes......It just goes to show how much those salesmen LIE when they try to push garbage like microfiber sheets on us. Not kosher!

I'm a hottie from way back! I found Martha Stewart percale sheets. FANTASTIC!

I'm in the minority here. I have no problem with mf sheets. It just took a while to find the right ones. Since they first came out years ago, they have gotten so much better imo.

It will soon be time for me to put my L.L.Bean flannel sheets on. Love them.

When I'm too warm ... I don't sleep under the sheets ... just fold back the bedding.

Best sheets I own are some that I got at Amazon.  

They are Italian Linen .... 100% brushed linen microfiber.

I just remembered .... there's been a commercial running on TV for something called Sheetz (I think that's how it's spelled.)

In fact, your post sounds very much like the dialogue in the commercial!

So, what specifically is wrong with using chemicals to make the sheets wrinkle-free?  Is there any data to show that those chemicals are bad for us or that they remain in the sheets?
