As any expert napper can attest, good sheets are one of the most important parts of the napping process. Sure, some people say it's too much work to get undressed and into bed, but those people are lazy. Good naps need just a little effort to become perfect naps.That said, one of the best investments a person can make is good sheets. A couple months ago, I purchased these sheets on a Deal Of The Day website. And now you get to hear about them!
TEST CONDITIONS:
Bed size: Queen
Color: Celadon
Pillows involved: 6 (four regular, two body)
PERFORMANCE:
These sheets are pretty great, with a caveat. I've ordered from Hotel Fine Linens before and, while their sheets are basically pretty great, they're definitely a 'wait and get them on sale' type of thing. $100 for a set of sheets is a bit much (especially when you can get them on sale, on a good day, for $65), but owning some really nice sheets is a definite must-do. But that's not the caveat.The caveat is -- you probably won't like these sheets the first few washes. In the past, I've had two sets of sheets arrive from a similar batch at the same time: one was incredibly scratchy, and one was silky smooth. The scratchy ones got washed a half-dozen times, and used a few times, and they became normal comfy smooth like the others. Apparently this isn't an isolated thing; there are several customer reviews citing scratchiness as a major downside to these sheets. But don't believe it; after a few washes and a little use, they're good to go. Some might argue that if you're paying that much for sheets, they should be awesome from the start. I would agree, but as I said, they've arrived hit or miss for me.
I do have to say, they're pretty awesome overall. My room gets a little cold, and these sheets tend to stay pretty dang warm, in turn keeping me pretty dang warm. Definitely good sheets.
RECOMMENDATION:
Honestly, I'm a big fan. If you're willing to roll the dice and gamble on getting soft right out of the package (and you can find them on discount), these sheets are pretty cool.OVERALL:
