Why should someone purchasing sheet sets for twin or full size pay the same amount as queen, king & cal. king?? That is not a bargain for the twin or full buyers. The Q always offers this and I wish they would stop.

I've always figured Q does this just to lure in the Q and K bed customers, making them think they're getting a great deal, while only stocking a small quantity of the twin and full sets.

I found some beautiful sheets at Stein Mart. I have 6 king size pillows on my bed. I always have to buy extra pillowcases. They have some nice pillowcases there too.

I look at it this way. The big sizes are a deal. Of course, I don't have twin beds either, so then I might feel differently. Remember there is virtually as much labor sewing the large sizes as there is the small, especially in clothing.

I do see your point, depglass, but in my mind, I was thinking that there should be at least a minor cost differential for the larger amount of material needed for misses/women's. Does that make sense, or am I just being silly (lol)?

It depends on the quality of the sheetset and the price. I just went on-line today and saw Northern Nights 400TC Ashley sheets on clearance for $56.88 --- huge discount. I ordered 3 sets of full (for my extra beds) and 1 queen set (for my bed). This week, I'll be buying 2 new mattresses for 2 of my bedrooms - and I want the beds to look spiffy. The 3rd full set is extra. You can also mix and match these sets. A couple of weeks ago, I ordered 2 sets (queen) of Northern Nights 400TC Embroidered sheetset at the OTO for $69.96. This price would also be low for a twin/full. These wrinkle defense sheets are my favorite -- and the colors are glorious. ....and I didn't even have to leave my house!!!!

I sell sheet sets in my furniture store. My cost on sheets go up about $2.50 per size. So the price (my cost) between a twin and regular size is $2.50, the price between a twin and a queen size is $5.00, and on up.

I do not have all my sheets the same price! I'm guessing QVC is making full markup on the King sizes and they are making even more on the smaller sizes.

I agree. I can get the smaller sizes cheaper in the store.

Regarding the clothing, the cost of making a petite item should be less and should be sold at a lower price. Since I did sew years ago, I know the fabric for a petite item would be less yardage and cost less than for a plus size.
