I DESPERATELY need some new sheets and am not sure really what to buy. I know that the higher the thread count the better, but what about 100% cotton vs. cotton/poly blend? I hate it when sheets pill, esp at your feet. [even at the coldest I don't wear socks to bed so feel even the littlest ball] Any suggestions?

Bubba, I got Egyptian cotton sheets which we like a lot. Very smooth feeling. I forget the thread count but it was pretty high.

The higher the thread count, the more they wrinkle? I like 100% cotton sheets. Two hundred thread count or a little higher. They don't wrinkle badly. And I like Lands' End bed linens because their flat sheets are longer than the norm. More to tuck under at the foot. Lands' End has the best customer service. And I'm lucky -- I live near a Lands' End outlet (or inlet as they call it). Year or so ago they did stop carrying home products (including bed linens) in the inlets. Phooey!

Cotton polly blend will pile. If you want a crisp cool sheet you need 100% cotton and 200 or 225 thread count. My DH sweats and likes a cool sheet so it's a 225 100% cotton for us.

A higher thread count will result in a softer and less crisp sheet as long as it is 100% cotton. You pay more for a higher thread count and only you can make that decision.

Lands End and The Company Store are great for finding what you want online. Send for a catalog and register your e-mail address then they will send you special discounts with free shipping at times.
