Re: Set of sheets--color choices

I wanted lots of colors, but never had them.  My husband always insisted on white. So we always have white.  Refused to sleep in a bed that was either blue, green and god forbid...pink.

Re: Set of sheets--color choices

It took me forever to find sheets that met all my other criteria and color was last thing on the list.  I really didn't care what color they were.  It was a bonus that they coordinated with the the quilt, shams and bedskirt.

I know I'll be in the minority but I won't buy sheets unless they are 50% Cotton/50% Polyester because I love that they are cool feeling and last a very long time.  I love crisp white, but also tans... 

 

 

 

@Q4u...Where do you get  your 50%Cotton/50% Polyester sheets?...I like this combination also but they are difficult to find.

 

 


 


You are right, they are SO hard to find!!  I buy them when I see them and bought several sets a few years ago I happened to find at TJMaxx, I haven't needed any more since.  But yes, really hard to find! 

 

 

 

@Q4u...I went to their website as soon as I saw your post....There are so many brands to choose from but I found ones from "Bentley Home"...600 TC Cotton with Polyester....Are these the ones that you bought?...Could you check the label on one of your sets?...lol 

 

eta:...They also have a "Ultra Lux"...1000 TC Cotton with Polyester.  


 


I totally forget the brand name....   I prefer thread count to be around 500-600, nothing less and really don't like the feel of 1,000 count.  Good luck with your find!  Woman Happy

Re: Set of sheets--color choices

I like to coordinate the sheets with the comforter in the Master Bedroom, so I have ivory, mint green, light tan,etc.. For my 2 spare bedrooms, I have lavendar, ivory, light purple, blue,etc....I guess I really like colors, but more muted colors, nothing loud........

Re: Set of sheets--color choices

Our bedspread is a stripe - various shades of blue  so I like to buy blue sheets.

Re: Set of sheets--color choices

All my sheets are black .. it's really the most calming for me.  I sleep best in black sheets.  Black comforter and red dust ruffle.  My color scheme is black/red/white with animal accents.

Re: Set of sheets--color choices

I buy white sheets only.  I really like a white bed.  A trim around the sheets in another color would be fine with me, too, but all of the sheets that I use are white.

I prefer pastel colored sheets or just white or ivory.
