I love my new sheets!

I would love to have such a linen collection and the furniture to use it with! Maybe someday..I just bought my house a year ago and am furnishing it slowly. My dining table is an old laundry table the former owner left in the basement and I bought a tablecloth from a thrift store. Someday I hope to have a nice dining set and some nice furniture, but I have to wait until the perfect pieces come along--and I can pay for them!

thank you dear for the BR..have a nice day..

I don't like satin, either! Satin is polyester and they're very hot, especially in the summer. The sheets I got are cotton so are cool. But they are a closer weave so they're silky and smooth. I didn't know the difference until a couple years ago when I decided since my husband had left I would get something extravagant for my bed--what a difference!! The silkiness of satin but the coolness of cotton, and I loved it. These sheets cost more, but they last a lot longer. You can buy ten sets of the cheapest sheets over a period of about six years or you can buy one set of the high quality. Cotton is wonderful, it's the best stuff for anything that touches our bodies. But there are different qualities and the higher the thread count, the softer and silkier the cloth. Try it when you can, you'll love it. This was a big sacrifice for me but it's worth it.

I didn't want to spend that much, but they're worth it. I bought my other set from a factory outlet and I think that's why they only last a year. I liked the price, though, at $40! These were a little over twice as much but they're not "seconds" so I think they may last a lot longer. I don't sleep very well in the summer, either, I'm very sensitive to heat. I have a fan going and the a/c turned down to 73 at night and I'm still uncomfortable. I hate to rush the season instead of appreciating every moment but I can hardly wait for the cold weather!

I think the better quality, denser sheets will also last longer. If I bought cheap, 200 thread count sheets I'd be buying a new set once or twice a year and they wouldn't feel nearly as nice! Sometimes the cheapest things are false economy.

I wasn't going to but after a few months on regular low count cotton sheets I was miserable. And my mom, always so good at talking me into buying things for myself, pointed out that you can't put a price on a good night's sleep! She uses satin. My dogs love the sheets, too!
