I want to buy new sheet's anyone have some they can't live without and love beyond belief? I am tempted to get these one's we had at a hotel earlier in the year. They were 300 count and super soft and comfy.

Cotton flannel. It's especially nice for not getting that icy feeling when it's cold, but it's plenty cool in hot weather, too.
(Read about cotton farming and consider buying organic...)
+1 to flannel sheets in the winter. (I do find them too hot in the summer though...). Love getting into bed and the sheets are not icy cold.
I am one that cannot stand the texture of flannel sheets after a couple of washes. A couple of years ago I got bamboo sheets from the Company Store in Wisconsin. I really like them -- they are very soft and smooth.
Love our flannel sheets! They are a must 3-seasons out of the year. So cozy and comforting.
Not cheap ones though. I usually go to Macys.com and look for sales. I have the added pain of needing super deep pockets.Quote:

Now I just have whatever was cheapest at Bed Bath and Beyond in the color I wanted.
I really wanted some flannel sheets and just bought some at Fred Meyer because they were on sale. Big mistake. They feel like cardboard, not the soft flannel I was expecting. Major disappointment.
I need super deep pockets, too. Is there a brand you've found that works well? I've really struggled to find them myself. I have some Stearns & Foster sheets that fit, but luxurious they are not.Quote:

Standard deep pocket sheets barely fit our mattress, and super deep pocket sheets can be spendy.
For regular percale, the sheets they sell at Costco have been great. I wish they made a flannel in the same line.
The sheets we have now cost $160 at Bed Bath & Beyond (and it makes me a little sick to my stomach to type that). If memory serves, we used a coupon. I just want one other set, and I don't honestly care whether they're flannel. I just get sick of having to wash the same set of sheets week after week.Quote:
