With your location, that is COOL!!I started off with tone on tone and then went to patterns (paisley) and now I'm on to novelty prints that match the room colors. I just found lobster sheet sets and I'm going for them! I got seashells earlier this summer..
All white Comphy.
As fellow curmudgeon Andy Rooney once said, underwear and sheets should be white..
Unless you have diff bed sizes, then they should be two diff colors.Arkansawyer said:All white Comphy.

Four different bed sizes....All white Comphy.

I just put flannels on the beds. It is supposed to get COLD here next week.Plain white for me. I no longer try to match top sheet to pillow cases. As long as the pillow cases match each other I'm happy.
I have patterned flannels that I haven't used in a few years. Might get them out again for a switch in our coldest months..

It's cold in northern Arkansas NOW! I wore a jacket all day and built a fire in the fireplace tonight. But it's a wonderful, beautiful fall after a HORRIBLE summer (but occupancy was higher than normal)!gillumhouse said:I just put flannels on the beds. It is supposed to get COLD here next week.

The weave shouldn't really have anything to do with it.White on white in white. As wrinkle free as possible. Just got my new ones from Sears. We'll see how they wash up. Fingers crossed. As always if anyone has reached the holy grail of truly no-iron, Please post.
BTW I tried part polyester percale for our vacation rental. M u c h more difficult to remove stains. I'll trade a little more time with the iron with 100% cotton over how hard it is on my hands to do some of the stain removal on the percale.
I hear what you're saying but I just can't feel what I'm doing well enough if I wear gloves..
I don't think it is the weave. It just seems that oily (lotion and the like) stains are more difficult to get out of polyester fabric. On the other hand, I have a stain release table cloth that a l w a y s comes clean, and its the one I take to fundraisers. I always expect I won't be able to get it clean, but all comes out in the wash every time. I've had that for over a decade. The problem sheets were purchased last year.

Muslin usually has a thread count of under 160 and is a loosely woven fabric, 1 over 1 under and personally, I find it close to sandpaper, even if you do use fabric softeners.
Percale has a thread count of 160 or above, tightly woven, 1 over 1 under, medium weight.
Sateen is 4 over 1 under. It should have a better sheen and be softer because of the weave.
Supima and Pima are a type of cotton, with Supima being a trademarked name licenced to mills.
Poly/Cotton usually does very well in washing, but it's always best to look for fabrics marked as stain-release or easy-care, which are chemically treated to wash well.

Most of my sheets are poly-cotton because every stinkin' 100% cotton sheet I've bought has needed ironing!I don't think it is the weave.
