Recommendation for sheets

I have M&S cotton and bamboo which I love but they are not always available. A good and very similar alternative is cotton and tencel from Soak &Sleep . Be aware that you can only wash bamboo at 30° and tumble drying is not recommended.

I tumble dry my bamboo sheets. They're fine.

Thank you 🙂

I always buy cotton percale sheets, either from John Lewis or Dunelm.

I like Dunelm bedding which as lasted well , current ones nine years old. My Christmas print bedding is M&S and just as nice obviously that is only on the bed do part of the year

White Company always. Extra long so you get a luxurious fold back at the top. Last for year. Boil wash with an Dr Beckams whitener. Never bleach.

There's a huge choice of sheets on Amazon. The only thing I'd add is if you're going for fitted sheets from anywhere check the depth of your mattress as the sheets come in several different depths.

All good suggestions. Double check your mattress depth . I bought a too deep depth fitted sheet which is too damn big and therefore too loose a fitting!

MS good as I can click and collect. Never bought JL bedding apart from mattress and pillow covers. Love the pillow protectors with a zip closure. So neat.

Brushed cotton I love love love for winter.

Have a look at mattress suspenders; some only go across the corners, but you can get long ones which span the width/length of the bed - wouldn't be without mine!

I buy brushed microfiber, i’ve been buying microfibre sheets for about seven years and I always look for extra deep 40 cm, they are as cheap as chips and so very comfortable easy to wash and no ironing required.
I’ve recommended them to friends and family and everyone that tries them does not go back back to normal sheets.
I’ve been buying mine off Amazon and there are some bargains to be had.
If you don’t believe me just buy one sheet I think at the most expensive for king size it’s less than £10 happy sleeping

I was fed up with Ikea and Dunelm cotton bedding wearing thin so wanted to treat myself to some luxurious bedding I noted that a lot of designers recommended Piglet in Bed. I bought a cotton/ linen blend set in the sale and love it. Going to buy another set so I can have one on / one in wash. Maybe pure linen ones next time. So many colours to choose from. Pricey but so what ( spending childrens inheritance).

I always go to Just Linen/Dawson's which has a huge range.

20+ years ago we shifted up to 600tc, soon after to 800tc then @6m later to 1.000tc. Love them! Gave the 600 & 800 to my son and built up a full collection of 1,000tc for all bed linen. We buy them from John Lewis mostly.

I swapped from White Company to M&S Egyptian Cotton last year. The M&S ones are far superior in my opinion and require much less ironing and look smarter. I’ve now changed all the bedding and have a lot of dust sheets!

Rise and Fall do the best cotton fitted sheets . Excellent quality and elasticated all round so never pull off at the corners. They do flat sheets , pillowcases and duvet covers do also excellent quality . Not cheap but worth every penny .

I have always gone for high count Egyptian cotton. They are lovely with an almost silky feel and wear very well.

Good to hear that - as that's what I've just done recently - ie high count Egyptian cotton.

Thought hadnt occurred to me when I found my new bed was harder than my old bed and bought a mattress topper for it and thought "Still not as soft as my old bed" and bought a 2nd one and so I've got two on my bed now !!!! that that would mean I needed to swop using king size sheets (for my king-size bed) and now have to have super king size ones and that's a harder size to get as well.

I don't know your age but if you are 'getting on a bit' (and even if you aren't!!) then I very much recommend the fully fitted M&S brushed cotton fitted sheets.

By fully fitted I mean that all four sides are fully elasticated NOT just the fiddly corners. All the way around.

It really helps to make changing the bed so much easier and less exhausting.

I bought the brushed cotton fitted ones a year+ ago and they are really great - cool in summer, warm in winter. Launders perfectly and can go in the dryer. No point in ironing. Different mattress depths available. Ridiculously low price

I bought four in King Size for two beds.
Brilliant.

Very much recommended for a cosy night's sleep.

Would king size fitted (or superking size fitted) ones do for a mattress that is effectively 13 inches thick (by the time one takes into two mattress toppers on top)?

You better believe JUST how heavy a mattress that thick can be.....agh!

I’ve found JL bedding ok but I’ve given up with fitted sheets. They eventually shrink regardless of where I buy them and then they’re a struggle to get on the bed and I end up buying more. Now, I buy a pure cotton flat sheet and tuck it in under the mattress and it’s perfect and I actually prefer it.

I have an MS flat brushed cotton sheet this winter tucked in with hospital corners and it has hardly moved in days. And a flat sheet can be used under or over you.
Never seen mattress suspenders. Will Google.

I gave up struggle with fitted sheets and found a never used pair of sheets given as a wedding present and 100% cotton. I have a small double and let the sheet drape over the sides, no need to tuck in. I like to iron and the flat style is so much neater to manage that fitted ones.

Mine are all linen....got m&s ones but they stopped doing them...got some from h&m home....and some from the piglet in a bed sale ( too expensive non sale!) ....I couldnt go back to cotton now

Rise and fall fitted sheet, wonderful quality and ir springs on due to the strong elastic. it even shows you the short side very clearly. Not cheap but worth it.
