I'm thinking of having a laundry service this summer. I'd like to make life easier for them and me and have all white sheets for the queen beds. Lets say I'm going to order the sheets and I'm not going to go out to a store for them.
Have you found anything you like on Overstock, JCP, Target or one of those sites? (I do NOT want microfiber sheets from Comphy, I find them very uncomfortable no matter how many sets someone sells every week to happy guests.)
Because I have to order 15 sets to be sure I have enough, I'd like to keep them under $50/set. I'd use my regular sheets in the off season when I have time to iron.
Help! I don't want to order single sets to test them only to find out I have a bunch of sheets that don't fit the beds or are scratchy or whatever. This is why I need proven sheets! (Like the bb mattress covers. They were a wonder! Great advice here.)
I tried Innstyle and was very unhappy.
 
We like the all cotton wrinkle free from Targe and JCP. For JCP you can buy second hand gift cards that will save some money, plus their usual coupons and sales.

Can you give me a model number or name when you get a chance? I've gotten wonderful sheets from JCP that I've been using for 8 years. And, I've gotten awful sheets that I used for a few months. It's always a crap shoot.
 
For Targe... Threshold Performance Sheet Set 300 thread count. (These say wrinkle-free in the description)
For JCP... Studio 360tc Fit-True Wrinkle-Free Sheet Set (These say quick dry finish)
Now, a word about wrinkle-free. Wrinkle free is actually a chemical that is put on the material to make it set up flat. It usually lasts through about 50 washes. It won't make them perfect, but it does make them wrinkle less. After it wears out they will still be relatively wrinkle-free because the fibres have been set up that way.
Both sets are all cotton. JCP also has a 550tc but they won't last as long because the threads are thinner, but they will feel more luxurious. And as with both, these go on sale from time to time that cuts price.
 
I like Choxi (they used to be called No More Rack - I liked that name better) and have also used Overstock and Amazon ... depended on the price.
I replaced six sheet sets in the house from No More Rack in late 2014, all are holding up just fine.
I got the Clara Clark premier deep pocket sets from Choxi/NMR there are big mattress pad/covers on all the beds and two mattresses are high.
White is very nice and they wash up well in house (I'm not an ironer) At the inn, I used a laundry service. Wash dry and fold - no pressing - but they put starch in the wash and they sure looked ironed!
If you read the reviews for Clara Clark, complaints I saw are about colors ... but white was white and just fine for me.
These are not the top of the line sheets --- but they are comfortable (I sleep in them) and soft

I'm using the performance towels and they are great. Will check on the sheets this week. Thanks!

I know I've stayed in places that had really top of the line sheets and bed linens. I remember buying some that were pretty expensive for my budget and was shocked that they didn't hold up. It's really a crap shoot, as you say.
 
We have always uses 100% cotton sheets. Bought one set of microfiber and hated them. So I was surprised to find, during a recent upscale-hotel stay, that the cotton-poly blend sheet was soft, wrinkle free, and felt very much like cotton.
If I were ordering new sets I would not rule a quality blend out.

My really durable sheets are cotton poly. They don't shrink and they don't need ironing.
 
ps NOT pushing Choxi, but if you haven't ordered from them - if you give them your email address (I use a special 'ordering and promo' email address for this purpose) $15 off your first order. Just give it a few hours to hit your inbox before ordering.
 
I did order a couple of sets from Target. Will wash them up to see how they come out. They were under $50 each and i might get some shopping coupons out of it too.
Loved reading the reviews:
People! First off, understand what percale means... And it goes on from there.

I love the fact that people don't know that they are supposed to actually do something about their calluses. Incidentally percale is minimum 180 threads in USA but 160 in Canada. Don't know why.

Still, that seemed like a LOT of torn sheets. No other sheet option had that kind of review.

Specific did in at least 2 sets of sheets that way. I think he has to use a grinder on those heels.
I use those sheets and haven't had that kind of problem.
 
My sheets arrived today! Going into the wash as we speak!.
