Any recommendations for good quality sheet sets whether a material, brand, store, etc…? Thank you.
We have switched from sheets to linens. Before linens, we preferred percale sheets, 200 to 310 thread count, 100% cotton.
Beware the Bamboo hype. The majority is marketing hype, not truth.
I was at ****** last weekend and noticed a booth offering Bamboo sleep products. Thankfully there was a small print disclaimer posted at the counter.
Bamboo is a “rayon”, a chemically derived wood product.
For more about Bamboo, read the FTC report.
Under the Textile Fiber Products Identification Act and the Textile Fiber Rule, textile fibers must be labeled and advertised as provided by the FTC. Textiles can only be called bamboo if they are made directly from actual bamboo fiber. Textiles made from rayon (or viscose, which is the same thing) that was created using bamboo as a plant source may be labeled and advertised as “rayon (or viscose) made from bamboo.” Sellers are responsible for ensuring that their textile products are labeled and advertised correctly. Below you’ll find plain-language guidance for businesses that make, advertise or sell so-called bamboo textiles, and information about Commission enforcement actions and warning letters.
Size matters too. You’ll want to shop for a fitted sheet that fits your mattress. IOW, if your mattress is 10", a 15" pocket won’t perform well. Find an 11" pocket sheet.
Gotcha Covered offers nice sheets.
For Linens, Rough Linens is an excellent source.
Hi Uunderr,
There is some good information about sheets in post #7 here and the other posts and sources of information it links to that may be helpful.
