Queen size.  Mine just ripped.  Need new ones.

What thread count and cotton should I be looking at?  I ain't rich but, I'd like something decent and soft.

There is a brand that is advertised on Rush's show, bowling blank, or something like that. I've thought of looking into them.

I looked into them as well. Saw pretty mixed reviews.

Boll and branch

Thread count at least 600. I prefer sateen to percale weave. And if you can, get striped sheets because it makes it easier to know which way to place the sheets.

Do you want something that breathes, cotton.

If you want something warm, micro fiber.

Both can be soft.  Key is thread count and longer strands.  

If you want cotton, avoid egyptian like/style products on Amazon.  They are microfiber not cotton and not real Egyptian cotton.  Annoyed me so much I didn't buy anything off there.

I like cotton sheets because it is hot here and I hate being hot at night.  I got combed cotton around 400 count.  I love them.  I'm sure there are better but I'm pretty picky on my sheets and like what I got.  They were Calvin Klein.  Surprised me since I didn't know they sold sheets  and figured they would only sell product based on brand but they passed my touch test.  Got them at Marshall's.

my mom got me (for christmas) some Egyption cotton sheets about 8 years ago,not sure of the thread count, she paid $150 for them, they are the most comfortable sheets I've ever had. they were getting a little worn after 8 years. so last December I bought some egyption cotton 800thread count sheets from JCP for about $90, not as good 
I'm back to using the old ones

These.  


I have a set going on 1 yr and half. Most cotton sets I had before would wear out.  (rough feet would shread them).   Still in great condition and keep bed cool feeling.

I get mine from restoration hardware, expensive but comfortable as fuck.

I have a cali king bed and mostly use Belgium linen but sleeping on high thread count Egyptian Cotton ones tonight.

Like I said, they are expensive as fuck, but are some of the best sheets I have ever used

I've had good luck with the Malouf brand sourced through Amazon.  They have a couple of price points. Their Egyption cotton percale sheets are the real deal.

I have a set of Boll and Branch. Overrated IMO. The $65 of Ralph Lauren I had before were just as nice. Thread count is a manipulated bullet point. 800/1000 thread count is not a real thing. Read about it.

I prefer flannel year round. I keep it at 60 degrees in the bedroom for a better sleep, and it is just plain comfortable.

My ass can't tell anything over 300 count.

I bought Overstock last time I bought, I'd start on Amazon today but hey, why not check Overstock.  It's all about the O.

When the sheets are getting worn thin, don't put your window air conditioner on them.  Just saying.

Sheets with high thread count don't seem to get thin. I have as of yet to wear out one set and we've switched to them at least a decade ago.


I don't understand how people can't tell the difference. I'll never go back to 400 thread sheets.

I've done 700 thread count Egyptian cotton, they were nice.  I've now gone the polar opposite and have natural linen sheets, they are awesome.

Cotton and bamboo mix. Fells nice.
careful with the thread count. Too high and it doesnt breath as well and gets hot and sweaty in warmer climates. Some article I read said to stick around 300 for the ideal thread count for sheets.

Thats what I found too. Well, I ended up with microfiber high thread count before the bamboo and they were stupid hot. The bamboo ones I got are waaaaaay cooler. They are significantly more comfortable with my faux tempurpedic mattress. I can run my AC about 10 degrees warmer, in fact.

Absolutely none. The price was more than I wanted to pay so I only got 1 set, but they dry so quick that I can wash them once a week with ease.
