Default Where do you buy good sheets these days?

I haven't had to buy any in so long but ours have worn to the point of having holes. I need white king sized sheets that are just regular cotton. My go-to for stuff is usually Ikea but they charge $50 for a set of 200 thread count sheets.

The last sheets I bought were from Bed, Bath & Beyond, but they were much more than $50.

And $50 doesn't seem bad, but it seems bad for 200 thread count.

Default Re: Where do you buy good sheets these days?

I would expect to pay $50 but would look for better quality for that. My favorite sheets are the organic cotton ones from Target but I think they discontinued them

I keep finding ones that are partly microfiber (polyester) now. "Cotton-rich" meaning less than 100% cotton. Just no. We own some out of desperation, but I hate them.

Do you have a Ross store near you? They usually have some really nice sheets and they are discounted.

I agree- I'd be okay paying $50 for some good quality sheets but not 200 thread count!

Yes, totally agree- I want cotton!

I do have a Ross. I can check there. The only problem is I will only buy white. I think that will make it less likely that I will find some there but maybe I still will.

Our Macy's is going out of business and they have quite a bit of bedding stuff on clearance. Might be worth looking into if there's one near you.

We do have one. I'm not sure if it's going out of business or not.

Default Re: Where do you buy good sheets these days?

I would check the Target website. They had some on sale this week (I almost ordered a twin set) but I'm not sure about the thread count.

Target also has the Threshold sheets, which are nice because you can get the pieces separately and they label the sides of the fitted sheets. They are cotton but a bit less soft.

Do you use Costco? They usually have a couple of options.

Default Re: Where do you buy good sheets these days?

I absolutely *love* the organic sheets from Target, and I really hope they aren't discontinued!!

What I love about them....
  1. They come in cute colors/patterns
  2. They are organic
  3. They are labeled "top/bottom" or "side"
  4. They have deep pockets
  5. Elastic all the way around the fitted sheet
  6. Extra elastic on the corners to really have a nice fit
