New sheets?

[Brandi]

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.

Our DS has bamboo sheets on his bed that we got from Target. I LOVE them. I need to get a set for DH and I. To me they feel like a cross between satin and t-shirt knit sheets. So soft. We currently have flannel sheets, but they do get sorta rough after a while. The bamboo are just as soft now as they were brand new.

I love flannel sheets, but my husband can't sleep with them because they are too hot for him. So basically at this point it's just buying 300 or higher thread count sheets.

Not cheap ones though. I usually go to Macys.com and look for sales. I have the added pain of needing super deep pockets.

I can only sleep in super stiff sheets. I like them to feel crisp and cool, even in the winter. None of those flannel or t-shirt or super soft sheets for me. The stiffer the better. I had been using some sheets my grandma gave me that she bought in Singapore in 1960. They were awesome. But I got a bigger bed and a deep mattress. 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.

+1 on flannel as the temps get cooler. We always get ours from LL Bean.

How much money ya got?
I looked all over the web, had a cardiac looking at prices. and did find what I wanted by cruising the Macy's sales for flannels. I will have to look and see what brand they are. The flannels I did get fit a little better than barely, but it's still not a super great fit. But at least the corners don't pop off. 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.
