Shop For Sin in Linen Skulls and Stars Sheet Set, Twin, Black


My approach to interior design is somewhat offbeat. Between my bright purple walls, baby blue sink and curtains made from Halloween-themed fabric, I like my décor to be fun and reflect my tastes. I enjoy working around the house, and it's always neat to find home and garden items with character. Needlesstosay, I was absolutely thrilled about this sheet set. Made by Sin In Linen, the Skull Star "Pretty In Pink" sheet set is not only bedding that features skulls, but it is also PINK. Bright, vivid, awesome pink. As a Goth with a love of pastels, this was right up my alley. Not only are these fabulous sheets fun and different, they're also comfy and high-quality, made out of 100% combed cotton sateen, with a 230 thread count. This item would be a perfect housewarming gift for the punk on your list! I imagine I shall turn to Sin In Linen in the future as an excellent alternative to drab home furnishings.

1200-Thread-Count Egyptian Cotton 1200TC Sheet Set, Queen, Lavender Damask Stripe 1200 TC Get it now!


I now have 3 sets of 1000+ thread count sheets and this set, even after only 3 washes, is my favorite. Most of the high TC sheets tend to be sateen in my experience, and while it feels soft and great, they don't breath at all. This set doesn't have the sateen finish, so it's not quite as soft initially as my others have been, but it breaths and they are still reasonably soft. After another 20 or so washes, I'm sure they will be just perfect. I'll be getting other patterns of this same type.Get more detail about 1200-Thread-Count Egyptian Cotton 1200TC Sheet Set, Queen, Lavender Damask Stripe 1200 TC.

MARRIKAS 300TC Egyptian Cotton PillowCase Pair (2) STANDARD SOLID IVORY Buy Now


Before selecting these pillow cases you should know that they shrink considerably. In fact, after their first washing, they no longer fit my pillows. In addition, they definitely need to be ironed. Now I have 4 new cases that are unusable to me. I mistakenly gave this product two stars instead of the 1 they deserve.

Nautica Seagrove Pink Queen Sheet Set Order Now


When I was about 10 years-old, my mother taught me how to iron by practicing on pillowcases. Came the percale revolution, and ironing sheets was no longer necessary. When I took these sheets out of the dryer, I was transported back to the '50s, and wondered if I should try to find my iron. It was just a fleeting thought, though.

Nowhere, not on the packaging nor on the attached label, does it say the thread count of these sheets, although the label does say 100% cotton. I would say they are 180-count, and are quite rough to the touch. I read somewhere that they were sailcloth. I believe it!

The set does come with two pillowcases, which is not mentioned in the description, and the bottom sheet will fit mattresses up to 16 inches.

I will say that the colors are true to the photo, and quite pretty. So, I would recommend these sheets to anyone who wants (after ironing them) a nice looking bed, but doesn't intend to sleep in it.Get more detail about Nautica Seagrove Pink Queen Sheet Set.

ALLER-EASE Classic Pillow Protector Right now


Great, great product! I purchased a complete set (pillow, pillow protector and mattress protector) and have found that my step daughter's allergies and asthma symptoms have significantly improved. The pillow protector seems to be blocking all of the household allergens that trigger her attacks -- and she is not coughing and sneezing like she was before. What a relief for her and me!Get more detail about ALLER-EASE Classic Pillow Protector.

Lowest Price DreamSacks Seamless Silk Sheet Set - Queen - Soft Blue


I've had these sheets for about a year now, and they've really stood up to being washed very well. I don't see any difference between how they look now as to how they looked new.

I use a soap designed for silk, and place them in my front loading washer on the hand wash setting.

They're consistently soft, durable, comfy, and keep me warm in winter and cool in summer.

In fact, I like them so much I'm buying another set. Get more detail about DreamSacks Seamless Silk Sheet Set - Queen - Soft Blue.

Low Price Satin Sheet Sets - Twin Sheet Set, Color Ivory or I


These are very poor quality sheets and the pink is definitely more salmon colored than shown in the picture. They got good reviews on their web site, but I don't know why. Cheap, thin satiny poly.Get more detail about Satin Sheet Sets - Twin Sheet Set, Color Ivory or I.

Discount Homedics DSH-UPPK DreamSheild Pillow Protector, King Size, White


I love my pile of old down/feather pillows -- but, bless 'em, they were shedding and I was sneezing and menopause had me soaking them through almost every night. Old, and rather spendy, pillow protectors didn't help. So I bought four of these pillow protectors over a year ago, cleaned the pillows and stuffed them inside the new protectors. Side zipper makes that soooo much easier than for protectors with end-openings. No feathers in the bedding now, pillows stay clean, my stuffy nose cleared up, and -- wonderful bonus! -- the silky texture of the protector can be felt through a pillowcase. Lov

Cheap Tommy Hilfiger Cold Spring 300 Thread Count 100-Percent Cotton Sateen King Fitted Sheet


Generally, it seems that sheet manufacturers haven't caught up with the trend toward "princess and the pea" mattresses. You know, the thick ones that are almost to heavy to turn and that strain the corner seams of not-quite-big-enough fitted sheets. It's frustrating.

I can't say whether this sheet actually fits an 18" mattress. What I do know is that it fits our 15" pillowtop with a little fabric to spare. Whew!

Shrinkage of linens is always a concern for me, one of those things I've learned by sad experience. What I'm doing to deal a delicate hand to this sheet is to wash and rinse it in cold water, only, and to dry it on low low low. The last of it can finish draped over the banister-cum-drying-rack.

One thing to be aware of is that, on the spectrum of crisp and crunchy to soft and snuggly, the sheet so far is pretty far out on the crisp/crunchy end of things. This is how I prefer cotton bed linens, and the pattern hides wrinkles pretty well, but it is not to everyone's taste.

We like flannel duvets with percale or cotton sheets. Pinzon 160-Gram Yarn-Dyed Flannel King Duvet Cover, Black/White Plaid looks just great with this sheet.Get more detail about Tommy Hilfiger Cold Spring 300 Thread Count 100-Percent Cotton Sateen King Fitted Sheet.

Buying ROSE Floral Vine Print 350Tc Sheet Set - KING


I loved these sheets in the photograph, but didn't order them in time. I got the pillow cases, though, and they were lovely. Finally, the queen sheets came back in stock, so I ordered two sets. The roses on the sheets I received are brown, not pink. I am terribly disappointed. My bedroom is pink, burgundy and green, so the sheets in the photo would have been perfect, but the brown just doesn't work. I will be returning them ASAP.Get more detail about ROSE Floral Vine Print 350Tc Sheet Set - KING.

Buy Michael Kors Bali Italian made 100-Percent Cotton Sateen King Flat Sheet, Yellow


I bought a complete set of these sheets. Absolutely happy with them. Very fine, soft fabric. Print looks like it is woven as the dye goes all the way through. I love printed sheets and miss not having them like in the old days. But those old one weren't so fine. I hate to get out of bed in the morning!Get more detail about Michael Kors Bali Italian made 100-Percent Cotton Sateen King Flat Sheet, Yellow.

Purchase METRO Bed Sheet Set 600 Thread Count Solid Sateen 100% Egyptian Cotton Gold (King)


Seriously disappointed with the lack of softness of these sheets. Egyptian cotton fabric is normally very soft. These sheets feel coarse and do not appear to even be the sateen weave (except for product photo). I have slept on much softer 300 Thread Count sheets! Makes me really wonder if these sheets are improperly labelled.Get more detail about METRO Bed Sheet Set 600 Thread Count Solid Sateen 100% Egyptian Cotton Gold (King).

Order Fieldcrest Luxury Taupe Dusk 500TC Embroidered Sheet Set - Full


It did take a lot of washes to break these in. after those initial washings they have become soft and silky. These are nice, but the bad is that they are supper wrinkly, and there is nothing you can do about it. I guess you can iron them, but seriously that's a little neurotic. They look super fancy and have a wonderful sheen to them. They will hold up nice, it's just weird how wrinkly they are, I never had sheets do that before.Get more detail about Fieldcrest Luxury Taupe Dusk 500TC Embroidered Sheet Set - Full.
