Fitted Sheets

Where do people buy theirs from and how much should you pay?

McKneff

Hundreds of places, Argos being one of them.

Price really depends on the quality.

I buy mine from Dunelm, had them a long time though so cant remember how much I paid for them.

You buy them anywhere and what you pay depends on the quality you want!

I just bought some from Debenhams online (I think about £15 each for superkingsize with small sale discount), and they're okay, but nowhere near as nice as the Dorma ones I bought 10 years ago! The Dorma ones weren't the cheapest but the quality and feel of them was amazing. I've used 2 sheets alternating for 10 years and still feel lovely and not gone bobbly, just worn a bit thin now. The only reason I didn't buy Dorma again is because they don't have the right colour at the moment. I really think you get what you pay for and if Dorma had the right colour I would have paid more to buy them.

asda for much cheapness but the quality isn't great. They do them in loads of colours and all sizes, even ones with patterns (I recently got red polka dots). The coloured ones do tend to fade quite a bit when washed at high temperatures but I don't have anything to compare them to u.e. do expensive ones hold the colours better. The quality isn't a problem for me as I would rather replace every couple of years rather than having sheets for years and years.

I'm afraid Dorma quality has gone downhill recently. My 15 year old poly cotton Dorma sheets are still going strong and have never gone bobbly, yet their cotton sheets and poly cotton pillowcases which I bought a year ago have all gone bobbly.

Tesco's instore, reduced by 50%, maybe even further now. I can not remember what cotton thread they were, but I remember thinking it was good, and had to drag myself away before I purchased them because I have cupboards full of sheets and it drives me round the bend but don't want to throw them out, just encase I need tham hahah x

I buy these:

http://www.dunelm-mill.com/shop/100-cotton-collection-fitted-sheet-87368#pr-header-1000006695

I particularly like them for these reasons:

1) They are deep - 28 cms. I put mattress pads/ electric blanket and so on under my sheet, so like the depth of these.
2) Cotton
3) The elastic runs along the whole of the top and the bottom. Sounds silly, but it means you can easily tell which are the tops and bottoms when you're making the bed. If it's just at the corners, then you fiddle about looking for the long end.
4) Wash well, although the criticisms are that they crease. I don't worry about this, just hang them over the line, or bannister to dry and then in the airing cupboard. Good enough for my standards.
5) Colour has been fine (I bought both yellow/stone and white).

Very happy with them, but you can read people's reviews there too.

We had the same problem with Wilko's bright pink fitted sheet too - it dyed the mattress protector underneath. Theyve lasted well though
