I dont know how to imbed a link. But anyone ever try these sheets...

When I was at the store I was able to feel a small sample and they really do feel cool and smooth. I was offered a free set of sheets when I bought my BR mattress set and I wanted those but she wouldn't budge on that (I got an el crappo set, figures.) I am still thinking of trying these. I can't find reviews anywhere and no one else seems to make them except the S-store. If I hadn't felt them w/ my own little hands I would be skeptical but they felt awesome. Sleeping on them is another story, of course. |

if you might end up getting a topper you will want a sheet bigger than what you need right now. you will probably want to ask Matouk if their sheets are pre-shrunk or not...sometimes a 17" sheet will end up being a little smaller after its been laundered. most of the high end stuff is not pre-washed but they cut accordingly to how much the warp and weft yarns are supposed to shrink. |

Thanks Budgy. So if I went for these: http://www.beddingsuperstore.com/i?store=cat&id=6479&sid=A4116DFS8J0I8H I'd have a little slack to play with (unless they shrink like you said???). Can I secure them somehow if they are loose? This message was modified Oct 7, 2010 by jtpoulin

| they are a fitted sheet...unless they are really huge you should be able to tuck a fair bit of the extra fabric under the mattress. those guys have good pricing for US customers. |
|
It seems they have a US and Canadian version of the site......hmmmm?
Maybe I'll give those a try. Would these still fall in the cool/comfortable/good quality realm? I know they are bit cheaper than some of the other ones mentioned here. |

Those "my favorite sheets" from www.beddingsuperstore.com are awesome, my wife only buys those ones. Regarding that fitted sheet comment, they have an elastic around the entire sheet, so it will fit even if they are too big :) Your gonna love these sheets!

| Thanks Jim, feeling pretty good about these. Would you say they are good at not getting too hot? |

*edit - oops I removed this post because I figured out my problem but Budgy responded before I removed it (thanks Budgy!!) This message was modified Oct 25, 2010 by jtpoulin

| they do take a while to get, when we run out of stock it takes about 4 weeks to get them. and we are very close to the manufacturer, everything these guys make is essentially done custom. they buy the fabric in bulk and make the sheet sets themselves where as most sheets are already imported as completed sets and readily distributed. |
| thanks Budgy!! |

I currently live without air conditioning, and sleep on the 2nd floor. If you want really low price, and "cool", the cotton sheets sold by Family Dollar really are not bad. They are thin, and cost $15 for full, $20 for queen, or thereabouts. They have a hard finish, and I bought the taupe and the olive green and they wash up well and didn't fade. Excellent for cheap sheets, I think. But very thin. I really liked them when it was sweltering hot up there. I really can't stand microfiber, sateen weaves, sueded finishes, jersey, or about 95% of what's out there on the shelves. I am so glad that I have a huge stockpile of old percales, lol.
