I bought new sheets.
again.
I am washing them now so I can get them on the bed & get rid of my new current sheets..
I recently got new bedding (pictures soon), so to complete the look I needed to get new sheets. Already over budget, I was looking for a bargain. I found one!... Or so I thought... I bought a set of Queen sheets at Ross. %100 Egyptian Combed Cotton / 400 thread count / white for a steal at $22!!
They were super soft and comfy so I was thrilled. However, not long after we began using them, they began to get little tiny balls on the fabric. Not good! Not soft & comfy!
I'm not sure what made them do this.. Maybe it was the combed cotton?? Maybe it's just because sometimes you just get what you pay for..
So, I saved up a little more and began looking again. I found these -------v
at Stein Mart. With a coupon I paid $48. I am hoping that the Sateen finish is better than the combed cotton.
We will see! Do you have any secrets for what to look for when buying sheets? Do tell!!
Hey Sweet Rhiannon! I have heard of that problem with sheets...someone told me that using fabric softener makes them get those little balls. Just a thought! :)
ReplyDeleteJenn! Thanks for the tip! I do use fabric softener.. Maybe that's what did it. Hmm..
ReplyDeleteHey Rhiannon! I like to get the "Sateen" vs. Egyptian cotton myself and have never had a problem! Hope your newer ones stay "newer" longer! :)
