Today's TVS and all other  sheet and bedding should be priced according to size ordered.  I use the twin size and resent having to pay as much as the largest set offered.  I would rather go to a box store and pay according to the size I purchased.  Sorry will no b uy bedding from QVC.

@I am appleblossom  I totally agree - hate when 'stores' do this.  Why should you pay the same for a twin and I'm paying the sam for a king or cali king.  This concept NEVER makes sense to me.  If it's not a good buy for me in whatever size I'm interested in, the product stays on the shelf.

It's the same concept as clothing.  Xxs is the same price as 3x.  I only worry about the size I buy and if it's a fair price.

@GCR18  That is a good answer.  Yes, xxs is usually the same as the plus size clothes and many times this concept applies to other aspects in life. Just ask frequent travelers that complain about seating accommodations for the larger customer and the smaller customer who pays the same for the same seating arrangements. The question would be then, is it time to look at things differently or not?  I do not have an answer.

I agree. If the price is right then, for me, there's no rub. if it isn't then it isn't and I don't purchase them... Sometimes bedding is priced by size and sometimes it isn't... It's then up to us to buy it or not...

I price shop/compare for the size I want, not everyone else's size.  If I think twin size for $59.98 is a great price for the value, I get it. Makes no difference to me what the other sizes are -- and as @GCR18 stated, it's just like buying clothing in a size 2, when the size 3x is the same price.  Not unfair to me.

I don't really see how this is unfair per se.  They set the price.  If you don't like the price then don't buy the sheets, it's as simple as that.  As for  xxs thru 3x being the same price, yes, that does happen on shopping channels, but it's not always like that.  Plus sizes can and do cost more when ordering from other sites.  Bellyaching about things being unfair is something that just rubs me the wrong way.  If you're shopping for something and the stated price is reasonable to you, it doesn't matter what the prices of other sizes are.  Should I, as a larger sized woman, call "unfair" when the lunchtime specials only have smaller sized options?  Should I complain that my neighbor and I pay the same garbage disposal fee but they have more trash than I do?  Should I complain when a restaurant gives my DH a few more fries than me or a nicer slice of tomato?  It's really easy to find the negative in all situations if you want to, but it's just as easy to change ones attitude and either look for the positive or just accept the fact that it's how life is sometimes.

To me, it makes no sense to charge the same for a twin set, unless two pillowcases were to be included in the twin.

If you don't like the price, shop elsewhere.   BB&B price according to size as do most b&m stores.  Shopping networks aren't the only place to buy items.

If it wasn't the Scott Brothers I see your point, but the point is it's the Scott Brothers and they are very wealthy and I'm sure wouldn't negotitate a partial commission on a twin size.
