@Witchy Woman  Is Percale a cotton or polyester?  The best sheets are cotton with some polyester because they don't wrinkle but I have not been able to find them.  Thread count I heard recently is not full proof as far as how long the sheets will last and the softness.  All cotton sheets wrinkle terribly.  I hate them but I own them.  If you know where I can get cotton sheets with polyester, let me  know.

@Witchy Woman, enjoy!  They are my absolute favorite sheet.  I am not a fan of really soft, sateen, wimpy sheets.  Gotta be cool and crisp for me.

The only exception to percale for me is LLBean Flannel sheets.  Now those I love in winter.  LM

They are cotton and probably around 200 or 250 threadcount.  But, they were described as smooth and had good reviews, so I'm taking a chance.  They were already on sale, and Bealls had another 25% off, so the king sheets were a great bargain.

I have heard that Pima cotton is the best in sheets, but, increasingly, it is getting harder to find and is quite pricey.

Egyptian cotton is tricky -- you've got to watch the percentage of cotton in the fabric.  If they are 100%, they do tend to wrinkle.  

I've had 1000 TC sheets and everything in between.  Those 1000 TC sheets were SO heavy, I gave them away.  

This morning, I spent hours online browsing lots of places and some of the prices shocked me -- Over $200 for king sheets!  I was going to buy some from Kohl's but could not find the Chaps brand in solid white.  I had purchased them before and they were very nice -- a bit pricey, but with a 30% off coupon, I could justify them.

Buying the percale sheets from Bealls was taking a bit of a chance, but since they were not that expensive, I figured I would try them.

@Witchy Woman They sound very fresh and cheerful!

Last year, I came out here and described the type of sheets my DH likes. I was told percale is what I should get. Cool and crisp.

Cotton/ Poly blend sheets can be found on Overstock and from Boscov’s at all different price points.  Shop online.

Percale is a description of how a fabric is woven, can be cotton or poly or a blend.

Egyptian cotton is over-rated.  High threadcount is over-rated

I buy the Vintage Wash 100% Cotton percale sheets at Target when they go on sale.

The Company Store has delicious 100% cotton percale sheets.

@reiki604, where is The Company Store locates?  LM

I used to order quite a bit from The Company Store.  Sheets, down comforters, comforter covers, etc.  At that time they were in La Crosse, WI and all their goods were made in the USA.  I found the flat sheets ran short and once I found others that did not come untucked I stopped ordering.  I always enjoyed ordering from them, their CS was wonderful.  Cannot say how they are nowadays but I do still get their catalogs and they do have some pretty things.
