So I’ve had two sets of Egyptian cotton bedsheets that I’ve absolutely loved. Then I’ve had 2 sets of Egyptian cotton bedsheets that were so fucking coarse. Thread counts were supposedily the same… Any idea why that would be?
Exactly. One of the first things I (naively) did as an “adult” after leaving uni was indulge in a set of (discounted) leopard print satin sheets for my brand new adult bed. The novelty very quickly evaporated as the pillows shot out from under my head and the flat sheet levitated itself to the floor within 15 minutes of sliding down to attempt a slumber.
Puts pillowcase on pillow for the 9th time in the same night, puts pillowcase in wash and never takes it out of the cabinet again. Maybe I move around to much, but who thought a material that slips off the pillow would be a good idea. (Apparently whichever family member that got them for my spouse for a Christmas present).
God I hate satin bedware, like sleeping on a slidy mousepad, while covered… in a slidy mousepad 😩
High thread count cotton is where it’s at. Crisp.
Correction, high thread count and jersey-knit
Too stretchy. Also no good in summer.
If you live where it’s cold flannel sheets are superior in every way (in winter at least).
Soft and stretchy is a win in my book. There are thinner ones for summer, but might need a lower thread count

The knitting style. Try jersey-knit
