DickSimmons Report post Posted January 10, 2011 Need some higher quality sheets. Only have 9 days till I fly back overseas and need to pick some up while I'm here. Good sheets in China are a rip off. The stores want like $1500 for a fitted sheet, flat sheet, pillow cases, and duvet with cover. Rip off. US prices are much more reasonable for same quality. I'm looking at high thread count sheets on Amazon and such, but I'm hardly seeing an good reviews. Google isn't turning up much either. Any suggestions on brand? What do your wives bring home?

mad_74 Report post Posted January 10, 2011 I second the request for recommendations. I've had some HORRIBLE experiences lately with new, pricey, high-threadcount sheets that ended up feeling like scratchy cardboard. Threadcount ain't everything. There's apparently more to it than that. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

GARY JAVO Report post Posted January 10, 2011 Most don't know it, but I own a small chain of mattress stores. One of my lines is Tempurpedic and they have a nice line of linens.

DickSimmons Report post Posted January 10, 2011 Wiggs probably sleeps on strands of hair from Russian virgins. I just ordered these sateen ones in white after reading a PR blurb somewhere and review from a linen retailer which seemed reputable. I'll let you know how they feel. Should be here in 2 days. http://www.echelonhome.com/catalogue.html Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Assman Report post Posted January 10, 2011 Brian, though others may not agree with me, if you live in a cold/cool climate in the area of China you are in, I've found the best sheets are flannel sheets. Once they've been through the wash a couple of times and the fuzz/lint is gone, they are second to none IMO. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

DickSimmons Report post Posted January 10, 2011 Get some Chinese house wife MAKE ONE for you for a steal price! If I don't like these ones and can't find anything good in the next few days, I probably will do that. There is fabric/upholstery marketing not too far away and they can do custom stuff. Just don't feel like dealing with that. That reminds me though, I'll need to have someone measure my bed before I get back. The mattresses sizes are't the same.

Tempur is my favorite Every time we move we never take the furniture with us but my Tempur mattress always goes with me, the only thing I hate the damn thing is so heavy and awkward to carry the removal guys always bitch about it. Brian I will ask my wife for you when she gets home. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

topcabron Report post Posted January 10, 2011 I would think that going to a high end department store would have what you are looking for. I use sheets with a very high thread count and our climates are about the same. They seem to be holding up and have remained soft.

Chipster Report post Posted January 10, 2011 I need some sheets with DEEP pockets. I have a pillowtop and the damn sheets never stay on the corners and then they crumple towards the center and im left with sleepy lines all over myself. Anyone know where to get really deep sheets for a King size? Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

DickSimmons Report post Posted January 10, 2011 I don't see that being a big issue The fitted sheet will be bigger than the bed in one dimension and won't be, well, fitted. Will be a bit loose. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
