Beautiful TSV sheets -- I bought a set.

Wondering: how often you replace your old sheets (give away or throw away, or use for painting cloths) for a brand new set.

@Solar Is My Name I only replace mine when they get so worn I can't stand looking at them anymore, lol! I buy good sheets, though, so they last a long while--I've had my current two sets for several years.

I replace my sheets when they look worn or I tire of them and want something new.

I usually have 2 sets of sheets, one is cotton the other is a flannel set for winter. When they are almost see-thru I replace them!

I have 2 sets of flannel sheets for cold weather, and 2 sets of bamboo sheets for warmer weather. Although one set is always clean, I tend to just wash them and put them back on the bed, rather than trying to fold the fitted sheet. I replace them when they're either looking worn out (usually in the middle of the fitted sheet), the elastic in the fitted sheet gives out, or I just get tired of them. 

i'm thinking of picking up a set of the TSV sheets for those few weeks each year that it's not cold enough for flannel and not warm enough for bamboo.

We just replaced out sheets as part of our renovation this Fall, The other sheets were probably about 3 years old

@TheWanderingOne  I do the same thing.........wash and put them back on the bed as I hate folding sheets.

I have a lot of sheets.  I have two sets that I used when first married over 51 years ago.  I still use them.

Most of my sheets are cotton percale.  They never wear out.  I have two linen sheets sets that I love.  I have flannel too.

I rotate my sheets and they last a long, long time.  The only sheets I ever got rid of were because we no longer had those size beds.  We have five beds that require queen size, one double and one twin.  I got rid of my king size, most of my twins and double bed sizes because I didn't need them.

Maybe this is a dumb question? @Carmie

But can you tell me how I can tell if my cotton sheets are cotton percale ?

I honestly don’t know??

Not very often.  Years.  I buy the best sheets I can find and they feel good and last a long time.  The best I ever had were from Portugal!  Pale pink and heavenly to sleep on.
