I need to get a spare set - ended up getting to bed at 3:30, then back up at 7:30 to let the hens out. We've been using the set we have now for years, they are getting very thin. They are Sateens from Cotco. I used to have a spare set, but DH caught a toenail on a pill and ripped them. Didn't want a seem in the middle, so I threw them out. Each time I look to get more, I choke at the price
This is why I always get mine ar Ross or Marshall's on clearance (Tuesday Morning is more expensive than Macy's!). I think the sateen ones are really short-staple cotton, because they pill if you look at them cross-eyed. IKEA has inexpensive sheets in a lot of colors but they either have to be ironed (which, no, just no) or washed several times to be really soft- but they last forever after that.
I'm like the princess and the pea when it comes to bedding; a single rough place drives me sleepless. I'm really sad that the Egyptian Cotton ones are on their last legs, even if they're boring old white. They've been good to me.
boring old white Egyptian cotton sheets actually show up fairly often at the thrift stores ... people get fancy printed sheets and ditch the nice old ones that don't pill ....
