Costco bamboo sheets are amazing IMO.

I have had good luck with Costco's 600 thread count Egyptian cotton sheets.  Very silky.  I like silky, "slippery" sheets.  I hate feeling like I've been "Velcroed" to the bed.

Did you launder these sheets before you put them on the bed?

@amyb , Amadeus was my favorite brand EVER! I've got a few Northern Nights sets that I had to buy but they do not compare in any way, except that they're both sheets, to Amadeus. I don't know who made them but I haven't found anything near the quality yet.

Anyone remember the Amadeaus line from QVC about 12 years ago? I had two sets, same item#, two different colors. Sadly let go of one last year, but still have a periwinkle set that matches a comforter set I bought from Q then too. That Amadeaus line was so lux feeling...I think they were only 3-500 thread count. I say "only" because they had just started all that thread count thing...and back then 300 was considered great (not sure sheets went up to 500 then!) Now I think they go up to 1000!

 

These were like a sateen, felt so silky but not slippery, and cool at night.

They do wrinkle, and, so many years later, the set I have is not quite as silky as it was,  but they were my favorite sheets ever.


 

I remember that line.  I bought a set and they were terrible.  When I got them, I washed them and put them on my bed, and when I went to bed that night I felt like I was lying between sheets of sandpaper!  They were so rough and scratchy, I immediately removed them and put on an old set of Northern Nights sheets I had.  I returned them.  I don't remember the thread count, but I only buy at least 300 thread count.  I must have received a "bad batch"!

Unfortunately, I was a victim of an Amadeaus sheetset - bought from the Q around that time. I washed it - and it came out very wrinkled - and it was a horrible mess - and I tossed it in the trash. I've since learned to keep all the packaging - so I could return whatever I hate. At the time, it cost $70 + shipping - and that was the most expensive sheetset I had ever purchased. All my sheetsets have been Northern Nights Wrinkle Defense -- but u can't find them anymore. Recently I purchased 3 sets of sheets from Costco - haven't used them yet - I always keep spares. $50/each set on sale. I'll never pay $70 + shipping again.
