Sheet Help

Icegoddess · ‎03-19-2010

Several years ago I bought some Highgate Manor 400 TC Sateen sheets from HSN. I LOVE these sheets. They are so smooth and actually feel a bit cool to the touch. My only complaint with them was that they aren't quite wide enough to get a good tuck on both sides. Since then I have been unable to find anythng like them. Everything I have bought are not as smooth and don't have that cool feel to them. I only buy the ones that you can get extra pillowcases for since I have a king bed but use standard pillows on them. I cut down the 2 kings to standard size. I admit I haven't bought that many sets. I can't spend sots of money trying to find a set I like.

Any suggestions? Last I looked I didn't find any Sateen on HSN or the Q.

I can relate to finding the best sheet set. I purchased a set of sheets years ago from HSN and they are the softess and most durable that I have had. They were a TSV and although I have purchased many other sets from QVC those are my favorite.

I was just in BBB and they have expanded their bedding dept. Perhaps you might find something there. There seems to be a void in the quality and variety of linens in all of retail.

I hate looking for new sheets. I love soft comfy sheets with no piling. I hate those little balls all over that make it so uncomfortable. I was only buying 100% Egyptian Cotton or Su Pima Cotton. Cariloha had 35% off yesterday so I bought a set of their Resort Bamboo sheets. Expensive even with the 35% off. Can't wait to get them & hope they are as nice as all the raves about them. If I don't like them they will be going back. Good Luck sheet shopping. Hope you find what you are looking for.

Yes! I am having the same problem with a set of the wrinkle-free sheets that the Q sells. I love the sheets, but I don't have enough width to tuck in the sides and it is driving me crazy! I have looked and looked for wider king-size sheets and the widest I've been able to find are from an online sheet retailer called Boll and Branch. They are a bit on the expensive side, so I haven't purchased them yet. When I have an extra $200, I am going to give them a try. They are significantly wider than any other sheets I've been able to find.

Check both Amazon and Ebay. 8)

Wow Sueeich, $200? That's a bit much for me.

As far as Amazon and Ebay go, very few Highgate Manor sheets at all on Ebay and none of them were King. Plus, as I said in my original post I need to be able to get 2 extra pillowcases.

Amazon doesn't have Highgate Manor either. Or maybe they had 1 set, but it was the wrong size. They have a bunch of sheets, but trying to find something that fits my bill and has the extra pillowcases available is still a challenge. Plus, I guess I've been spoiled by the home shopping channels as far as color selection goes.

How about Bamboo? Anybody tried that? Is it smooth and cool?

I got my last set at Belks. Love it!

We got Veritex, $250.00 for $80.00. Love them as I said. That was after I had a set from Q pill.

Right now they have a good coupon on and they're on Mr. Rebates.

Try these. They're satin feel in the name.

I came here to post about sheets myself and saw yours. I think finding sheets are difficult. I don't like fabrics that are sheets that are slippery or make noise when your in the bed. The last set I bought were from Dillard's and they are good quality, Egyptian and 800 thread count, my only complaint is that they don't fit snug but I either have the ones that don't fit or are too big. The Egyptian Cotten tends to be wrinkled. I have read reviews where some sheets are cool but then I see they have synthetic fibers in them. I really would love to find the perfect sheet. I do not mind spending money on quality bedding as they are items that last a long time and to me it's worth spending a little more if I can afford them. Would love suggestions on sheets that you do not have to slip and slide around in because they are cheap fabrics.

Bamboo sheets are what I just ordered from Cariloha on Memorial Day when they had 35% off. The king size Resort sheets are regular $259 with 35% off they were about $168. They also have a Classic set at a lower cost. I went all out.

I have slept on bamboo sheets before & loved them. They were soft, comfy & you could say smooth & cool. I loved them. Can't wait to get my new sheets. I have never tried the ones from Cariloha. Someone posted about them a while back. I kept putting it off because of price but I finally splurged.

How did you get them for $80? Did you mean $180? King size is on sale for $350 + 25% off would make them about $262 + free shipping + only 2% rebate.

Thx for sharing the info. I will keep the info on hand. I just bought a set from Cariloha so not in the market for another set yet. I love Egyptian Cotton sheets. I noticed when going to higher thread count the sheets get thicker feeling. I tend to like the lighter weight ones. I assume since these are 1200 ct they have a heavier weight to them.
