What kind do you like?

Are you a thread-count snob?

Do you have a thing for satin sheets?

Is your linen closet full of bed sheet sets, or do you scrape by with the same one or two ripped up sets you've had since college?

I know you people are sleeping on bedsheets. If not now, then someday.

The master bedroom bed has custom made sheets 26" deep pockets - 100% organic cotton

The bed in my bedroom has LLBean sheets on it now - flannel

Kids rooms have sheets made of Beech tree fibers on them now

I have many different other sets as well

Yes. I'm a threadcount snob. No LESS than 300, but the ones I have now are 450 I think. I don't have lots of bedsheets. I save my money and buy two maybe three high quality sets.

I HATE satin sheets. Can you say 'Slip n Slide'?

Oh and they don't breathe at ALL.

They're red and cotton. I don't be knowing about all this thread count business.

Egyptian cotton for me please

I hate satin sheets. I have satin pillow cases and I swear they make me wanna kill myself.

And they snag when your feet are dry in the winter.

i hate satin sheets too. they never feel clean enough.

i'm not a threadcount snob, but i need my sheets to feel crisp and clean, especially in summer.

i don't like flannel sheets, but sometimes in winter i come to really appreciate them.

i LOATHE jersey sheets. those things are nasty. i'd rather sleep with no sheets at all.

I love jersey sheets.

Stymie said:

explain yourself, woman!!!

they make me feel all sweaty.

Anxiety said:

Fresh sheets in the summer after they've been hung outside to dry!

The Beech tree fiber sheets are somewhat like jersey ones just softer

I'll pass on satin ones

I am looking at making some silk pillow cases though

especially if no birds pooped on them

Anxiety said:

I like them in the winter because they are heavier.

Anxiety said:

Haven't you heard of Target's new line of linens???


Birdshit Sheets???


They're very chic.

Stymie said:

really? they don't feel heavy at all to me. just sticky. it's like using a giant dirty t-shirt as a top sheet. maybe i haven't used the right jersey sheets...

I have two sets of cotton and one set of really nice jersey sheets that I use pretty regularly.

Back home I also have two sets of flannel sheets that are wonderfully cozy in the winter. I haven't needed them in recent years because I've been living in very warm areas.

They're just regular-ass low thread count cheapies. I switch between black and a greyish-lavender. I've got several others, but aren't fond of the colors.


Never slept in expensive sheets other than a few company-sponsored out-of-town business trips. So smooth!

I kinda am a thread count snob. I once found this really cute bed-in-a-bag set and I was all . The sheets had some low ass thread count, but I didn't care 'cause I love a good sale . I got home and washed everything and then put everything on my bed. I laid down and I swear, I felt like I was on top of a pile of newspaper!



I really like Sateen sheets. They are super soft and just wonderful . The only thing that sucks is that they get really wrinkly.



Oh and I have about 5 or 6 sheet sets.

maybe you sweat alot when you sleep?



there are some lighter jersey sheets I think...i had a really nice pink pair that was wonderful in all weather.

And make sure you sleep on bedsheets. Keeps the bed bugs from biting.

I've done the same thing.

Brilliant thread title!

Those cheap sets from Target:

Stymie said:

i think those are the only jersey sheets i've ever encountered.

i don't mind some of target's "regular" cheepo sheet sets. some of them are ass, though.

Anxiety said:

Not the jersey ones, the ass ones. They make noise when you lay on them.

hokie said:

@ us! It was my own fault. I only paid like $20 for the whole set I learned my lesson!

Stymie said:

my sheets only make noise when the cats are hiding underneath and one of them gets a hairball.

Sheets are sheets as far as I am concerned.
