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.
