Percale is my choice over sateen and I loathe those microfiber sheets.

Give it a go, That is not much to gamble with.

Am thinking of a trip to Ikea but have been trying to convince myself that the exposure may not be worth it.

Other textile items that I have bought through Ikea have been just fine, but that is probably no guarantee of anything.

I like a lot of IKEA things but I have never bought any of there bed linens. I haven't been impressed with the fabric when I saw them in the store. Kohls has some of their Big One sheets on clearance. Last week I ordered a set of queen sized for $32.

I thought they didn't ship, so I tried adding an item to my cart. It looks like I can get delivery, based on my zip code. For a fee, of course, but it seems reasonable. And projected delivery date was about 10 days. Not bad at all.

Thanks, Rose, I'll check out Kohl's. I was in their store last week, but they didn't have anything I wanted to afford.

I have Ikea comforter covers, have been buying them for more than 20 years. Sheets, too. I don't like their pillowcases, tho, rather tight with a fold-over opening. I get pillowcases at Target.

I have bought Ikea sheets. The bottom fitted sheets were really big and sloppy. If you like your bottom/fitted sheet to actually be fitted, I don't recommend. They were also very wrinkly. As for duvets, I used to use them but now I don't. They are such a pain in the tuchus to put on. The larger the quilt, the bigger the pain. However, you can't beat the prices.

Read the reviews. I've had some that were like sandpaper and some that were wonderfully soft and felt like cotton sheets of old.

I purchased a duvet from Ikea which I really like. The fabric is wrinkle free and has a nice feel. The duvet has not shrunk in the dryer with low heat and has not wrinkled. The cotton blankets are nice too. I have Indira. They are perfect summer weight. Wash and dry nicely with minimal shrinkage.

Haha @Annegriet. I just now wrestled my king size duvet back into its cover. I'm exhausted.

Sushipup, good to know. Pillowcases are easy.

Daisy, I looked at some reviews, but they seem to be all over the place. I trust the people here more.😊

Happy2, thanks for your thoughts. I'm encouraged to shop further.

I like Kohl's Big One sheets, too. I have several sets & have been using them for at least 5 years, probably longer. The sheets are a cotton blend, not 100% cotton. They are a good compromise vs spending $300 for a set of sheets. I bought a couple of new sets for me last fall & gifted a set at Christmas.

ci_lantro--I like Kohl's Big One sheets too. Those are on my bed right now.

I recently bought the cheapest ones they offered for my exchange students. I thought they would soften up in the wash, they didn't. Took them to Goodwill. Bought walmart sheets in tshirt like material. Much softer. I have a duvet from Ikea and bought ones for the exchange students beds too. They all seem fine but I wouldn't buy their cheapest sheets again.

I've never slept on Jersey sheets, but somehow they don't appeal. I could be wrong.

I love the Charisma brand cotton sheets at Costco. I usually prefer percale but these are nice and cool on hot nights.

Yes, Anniegriet, they are nice sheets. Long lasting and sturdy/ not paper thin. I like them a lot.

Another good brand of sheets that I bought for my son 2-3 years ago. Also sturdy and have held up great. Amazon's Pinzon 300 Thread Count Cotton Percale. The Pinzon sheets are 100% cotton.

I tend towards the Kohl's sheets because they offer nice colors/ nice prints. Love the multi color polka dots ones that I have.

Sorry, aok, what I meant was check the reviews for individual sheets at IKEA. Some of their sheets are really soft while others scratchy. Don't fall into the trap I did by thinking that because some of their sheets are soft, all of them are. I'm also looking for sheets right now and finding it's pretty much impossible to do so online. You really do need to do a touch test.

It has been a while since I purchased sheets but used to purchase most at Tuesday Morning because most of the packages you could feel the sheets. I passed at the lower thread count ones because I have almost always found that they felt harsh to my skin. I see online more types than my local store has had.

I found out that I need to pay attention to the depth of the sheets, thickness of the mattress. I purchased and expensive set that would not fit on my mattress that I ended up using for other things. Only once have I found a set or individual sheets that would be too deep for my mattress.

Last year rather than chance the store in April I ordered more slippers and they came by one of the delivery services and not by the company that IKEA hires to deliver big stuff when you select it yourself at the store.

*head spinning again*

The Amazon ones look nice, and a good price, but not the colors I'm seeking. Although that may change because I may buy a new duvet from IKEA and sew a cover with fabric I bought years ago. Which is a completely different color scheme.

As an aside, who buys used sheets? From Amazon? Eww. DH says they were probably returned.

I gave up my Costco membership or I'd explore that route.

🤪

I've used ones from Ikea and they were fine. Like you, I'm not fussy about sheets either. They lasted a long time and I only bought new ones because I bought a different size bed. I would get them again though.

The last ones I bought and would be again also are from Kohls. See link. I know I bought them on sale with an additional percentage off with one of their coupons.

I've been buying sheets from Sam's Club. I like to wash and dry them a couple of times before using. I like how they fit the king and queen size beds we have.
