Recommendation for sheets

Thisismyname1953

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 only saw this now sorry but at least we agree.

I’ve done a lot of research on sheets .
Funnily enough I’m not too keen on the 1000 thread count . I usually go for 400-600.
Dorma bedding sold at dun elm is always good . As is hotel collection.
If fitted make sure you get correct size and depth mattresses are much deeper now.
I like silk pillowcases to keep my hair lovely and not too hot

I find Dorma cotton very good. They are a quite heavy and a very generous size. I have flat and fitted and find the flat sheets easier to use than fitted as my arthritic fingers cannot cope withe pulling the corners down on the fitted ones.

Surely super king would be too wide CariadAgain - it sounds to me that you really need them to be king size but much deeper?
Of course if you are using flat sheets maybe you are buying the longer ones too - I can see how difficult that would be!

I have seen some really, really deep fitted sheets somewhere... sorry can't remember where just now...
Maybe someone will have some suggestions?

Yes, if you are buying fitted sheets, definitely check how deep they are - modern mattresses vary quite a lot.
I like crisp cotton - M&S or White Company, but really can't do brushed cotton/ flannelette...

I tried my old king size sheets from previous bed - but they were too narrow to even try and tuck underneath and kept shifting around.

Anyways I now have two sets of what should be good quality super king size sheets - so - at early 70's agegroup they should "see me out" and plenty of wear "to spare". I've now got 3 lots of sheets - double bed, king size and super king size. Guess I ought to do some rationalising of stocks - I need to keep some spare for any friends staying a night or two....but I do have surplus to requirements now and a house that is smaller than I'd like ideally (it's 2 bedrooms/1 bathroom/no utility room) so time for a bit of clearing out I guess.

Be wary of 100% cotton fitted sheets.
They shrink and won't fit on the bed.
I got caught out like that.

M n S cotton ones ones don't shrink at all. Just go for quality.

Their deepest fitted sheet is 38cms, is that deep enough?

I stayed at an ex boyfriend’s home donkey’s years ago and when I asked his mother “shall I strip the bed” “No you only
used them once” I will re-iron them on the bed.”
I do it now - takes 2 minutes and just as good as struggling with the ironing board

Don't buy from Dunelm. Bought several of their "good quality " high thread count sheets. Didn't last much over a year. Go for a high end brand.

Dorma sateen. Luxurious.
