The Sheet Saga

Kevin & I once bought this set of sheets when we were in Sarasota, on vacation. We bought them at Steinmart. These turned out to be the Best Sheets Ever. They are soft, smooth, silky! It is like a dream being ensconced in them! Sadly, this was about 3 years ago, and they have since been worn down to not much. We would wash them, and put them back on, forgoing all other sheets.

Now we have a sheet problem. We cannot find another set of sheets like these sheets! I have a set of sheets that came from JCPenney a couple years ago that come very close, and would be a good substitute I think, but I dont know what type they are.

We keep buying "soft" sheets, only to find them not quite good enough, or worse, scratchy. We have bought 5000 thread count sheets (feels like sleeping on denim, but will be with us until the end fo time because they are quite certainly indestructable), we have bought 200 thread count sheets (wonderfully soft for 2 washes, pilled up after 3), we have bought other in-between sheets. None will do!

The last set I bought was from Kohls - by Vera Wang. They are "OK". They'll do in a pinch, or when there is nothing else. I also bought a 1000tc set of "luxury" sheets from Kohls last weekend, and while I do like them, HOLY SMOKES they are so thick, we both sweated the night away they were so hot! Good winter sheets I think, they have light courderoy type texture which is strange, but soft. But only in the dead of winter.

So, does anybody out there have good sheets? I need SOFT, SILKY sheets. No scratchy! Scratchy bad!

I wonder if other people spend as much time obsessing about sheets?
