Years ago I bought a bamboo sheet set and hated it. They went hard and super course in no time at all, but I keep seeing glowing reviews on how great bamboo is. I need new sheets, I'm baulking a bit at how much Sheridan Egyptian cotton is, and I'm wondering if I just got a really lousy pair of bamboo sheets the first time. Any comments on how you've found bamboo appreciated, and did they get better or worse with age (mine went downhill fast). Any recommendations for super comfortable sheets available in Australia appreciated. My current sets are Sheridan Adkins 700tc cotton, pretty good but expensive, and there is also for slightly less money Sheridan Egyptian cotton 600tc, but again around the $200 a set mark. Would prefer something a little cheaper if possible. All comments welcome.
I found someone selling sheets made by an old Italian business, and they weave 400 and 800 thread count Percale sheets (plus satin up to 1,000 thread count), with real Italian long stem Egyptian cotton. I was thinking of the 400 thread count Percale for a room in the tropics (not for the winter in a mountain region of Italy). They told me the 800 thread count is much softer to sleep in and should not be noticeably warmer than the 400. They also said they had buyers from hotter parts of Asia who enjoyed the 800 thread count.
Does this make sense? I would have thought that the 800 thread count is necessarily much denser, but I don't know if it's still cool because of the percale weave (as opposed to satin).
800 thread count percale is not typical but has anyone here actually tried it (as opposed to 800 or 1,000 thread count real satin sheets)?
