Imagine putting $50K worth of sheets in the dryer! I just bought the ones I like at a department store one-day sale. Reduced from $215 to $86. Plus I had $25 in rewards. I think $215 is too much!

Many years ago I bought a Heavenly sheet set, to match our mattress. I don’t remember how much they were but they were expensive and my wife had me return them. I’ve got two sets from Brooklinen which were somewhere in the 200-300 range and not worth it IMO. I’ve looked here through past discussions for luxury sheets, Frette stood out. I was all set to order a set, description sounded perfect and the sheets generously sized (sizing being my primary complaint with the Brooklinin) but when I saw shrinkage up to 10% I did the math and didn’t like it. Nope, not spending several hundred or more for sheets that barely reach the head of the bed if I want to tuck them in at the foot.

$50,000 sheets? Link or it didn’t happen. Several sites are citing Charlotte Thomas Bespoke as the most expensive at $2400. Even if that’s per sheet - I’m unclear - a complete set would be a fraction of $50,000. Maybe they reqd an extra zero.

Imagine farting in your sleep!

^^ Too funny food!

That doesn't seem right. If they were traveling internationally, they may have messed up the conversion?

I looked up on line and found this:

"Coming in at number one on the list of the most expensive sheets in the world are the Charlotte Thomas Bespoke sheets, which are around $2400. These sheets truly are fit for a king as they literally have 22 karat gold woven directly into the fabric. The Charlotte Thomas Bespoke sheets are crafted from the finest merino wool, backed with a silk jacquard, and then added to a 1000 thread count high quality Egyptian cotton sheet. These sheets are also handmade and catered to your personal specifications, taking around 12 weeks to be completed, more or less."

Regardless of the price or practicality, I can't imagine sleeping on sheets with gold threads in them as being comfortable at all.

Good point, she did say ”south” which could be something like Mexico. 50,000 pesos is about $3000 which is certainly expensive but believable.

Shall I count the Martha Steward percale fitted sheet that ripped in half after a few months wear? (No, I was NOT trying to put it on sideways!)

I bought a set of 100% European linen sheets and pillow cases from Rough Linen for $490.00. They have to be ironed (which takes forever), but they are very sturdy and should last a long time.

My old boyfriend had linen sheets that he sent to the drycleaner. Too crisp for me; I didn't especially like them. I do, however, miss his cashmere blanket.

I spend about $250 on my sheet sets; after many disappointing purchases, these are the ones I've decided I like best They're 100% cotton percale, good strong colours, and made in Canada. Yes, they wrinkle, but fortunately I care more about the feel than the look.

Years ago, I once spent $60 on 600 thread count sheets. Wrinkled, thick....didn't like them. I like the 100% cotton percale with little leafs better! Linden Street Vintage Queen Link

I paid $300.00 for TWO sets of summer sheets (Percale) from Vermont Country Store. Each set was 150.00 . I switch patterns every week, one week yellow, then blue.

sheets I bought. I like pretty sheets.

I think the most I've spent is $50 or $60 for discounted high thread count sheets.

" 600 thread count sheets. "

Don't be fooled by thread count - these days, it's pretty meaningless as materials and manufacturing processes change. A 200 thread count sheet can be as soft as an 800 thread count sheet.

@Toronto Veterinarian....the ones I like a LOT are 200 thread count.. Yes...I know. The 600 thread count were super thick....they were not enjoyable.

My most expensive sheets were purchased greatly discounted. I have two sets for our bed, none that brand for the guest beds. I love them to the point I'm happy putting them on fresh which gives me the opportunity to realize lucky to have them. 😊 Yves deLorme.

Thread count can also be very misleading if they are just crappy threads.

At the beginning of menopause I switched to Sheex performance sheets. I don’t enjoy sleeping on cotton anymore. I have three colors to switch between and they were pricey to me. About $250 for a queen set but worth every penny. Plus I managed to find sales.

I'm giving your sheets a try, Nicole!

I can say I am to the point I want to open packages and really feel the sheets before purchasing. I find all the labeling to be deceptive. I'm tired of buying sheets I don't care for.

I received a lot of gift sheets when I was married, and over the years, I've bought many as well. I've kept some of the top flat sheets to use as drop cloths to cover furniture when we paint or do construction. I look at them, and it's like a diary of my life! Oh, yes, I remember those! Oh, yes, I hated those! Of course, I realize that I am crazy!

Seeing this pop up again, I’ve revisited frette.com. I now notice the page that says there’s 4-10% shrinkage also says they oversize to allow for that, and give the post-wash size for king flat sheet as 106x126. I could live with that, would prefer them a bit wider but the length is plenty. But, the dimensions given on the set I’m looking at are 115x120. That would be 8% shrinkage in width, as warned, but 5% growth in length. How does that work?! Might warrant a phone call tomorrow.

Oh, and they have a sheet set for almost $5000 so I’m going to assume the $2400 quoted above is just a single sheet.

" I can say I am to the point I want to open packages and really feel the sheets before purchasing "

I agree! If I can't feel the sheet (or return my purchase for free, if I buy online), then I won't buy them.....Except, unless I've bought that those sheets before and want an additional set.

These. I have the percale "Caroling" Christmas ones, the Great Pumpkin ones, and the Thanksgiving ones. I cannot claim that they "feel" any better than the cheap sheet sets I buy off of Amazon, but I really love them. After tax and shipping they are around $200 a set. Outrageous IMO but worth it to me to aid in the holiday spirit wallowing I partake in and cherish.

I bought a queen set exactly a month ago, on a clearance sale or some such at WM for $19.50.

The highest-cost set was $160 from Cozytown Linens. They wore literally thin-out in 6 years. I pulled up the flat and my finger went through it, the fitted was worn to nearly see-through.
