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
So, Target organic cotton sheet fans, are we talking about these? https://www.target.com/p/organic-cot...3/-/A-51818784

Also how recently have you guys purchased them? One reviewer said they used to be great but aren't anymore.

Default Where do you buy good sheets these days?

My Target sheets I have had for 3+ years. Oh and yes those are the ones.

I agree with that price point but better quality.

I've found some good deals at stores like TJMaxx, Burlington Coat Factory and Marshalls. Hit and miss though.

Ikea. Everywhere else is too expensive for lower quality.

Yes those are the ones. I ADORE ours. I bought three months ago or so I kinda wish all my other sheets would kick the bucket so I could justify replacing all of them with the organic target sheets.

The softest, highest quality cotton sheets I've ever found were at Costco, but now I'm tempted to try the Target ones.

Crazy, but my dh bought 400 count sheets at Wal-Mart and they're great. I think he paid around $40-50.

I hate the trend of microfiber sheets. Does ANYONE like those?

I've been paying way too much for sheets.

YES! Those are the Target sheets that I have, and those are the ones that match my list!

I bought sheets at Costco for years before I found the Target ones. I also learned that the Costco ones have some sort of "anti" treatment. Was it "antimicrobial" or "antiwrinkle"? I can't remember, but yuck!

Hm. I've never seen anything "anti-" listed on the packaging of the ones I've bought, but I have seen "anti-wrinkle" on other sheet sets.

I've never tried microfiber, but I've used the jersey t-shirt sheets and while they start out soft from the package, they stretch, and twist, and bunch up, and shrink, and YUCK! Our pillowcases are not rectangles any more, but more rhomboid.

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

I used to have Target organic sheets. I did love them but they didn't last as long as I thought they should have. But I bought mine well over 6 years ago. Then didn't come in white at that time, either. I think I'll try them again. They were soooooo soft.
