Are you willing to splurge a little on some seriously fuzzy, warm sheets that you may never want to part from? The Pinzon Heavyweight Velvet are those sheets. At 190 GSM, they're the thickest, heaviest flannels we tested. They live up to the "velvet" in their name, keeping us cozy and comfortable without feeling oppressively hot. Their OEKO-TEX Standard 100 certification helps keep your mind at ease while you spend even more time curled up under these ultra-snuggly flannels. They're some of the most wrinkle-resistant linens we tested, and they come in a range of solid colors &mdash; and even a few florals &mdash; to match your bedroom decor. Their construction gives us plenty of confidence in their ability to withstand our toenails as we burrow into this cocoon.
However, if your bed is rather thick or oversized, these may not be large enough. Even on our relatively thin mattress, they were just big enough to keep it covered and tuck in at the foot of the bed. They have very little overhang, and their 15" deep pockets feel smaller than they measure. The velvety goodness that feels so nice is also quite clingy to skin and especially clothes. Tossing and turning in these sheets while wearing pajamas quickly resulted in a crumpled mess. But for a great enveloping warmth that beckons you to stay in bed all day, the Pinzon Heavyweight are tough to resist.

Best Flannel Sheets - GearLab

 After several washings, these are just getting softer and more comfortable! They are indeed made in Portugal according to the tag and the packaging, and I have no issues with the sewing or quality of the sheets themselves. I have not experienced any pilling AT ALL, something many flannel sheet brands have issues with. I know some other reviewers have mentioned extreme pilling, but honestly, I have not experienced this at all with these Pinzon sheets. I do feel the manufacturer should address the pilling issue with the customers who do have this issue

  PROS: These are equal in weight and comfort to the $250+ designer flannel sheets I bought for years. Other than some decorative detail work on the top sheet that are on my expensive sheets,I cannot tell a difference between those sheets and these Pinzon ones.

 Couldn't buy the bottom sheet separately, so I have several top sheets without mates. I saw these Pinzon sheets on Amazon a few years ago, and at that time ordered a set of the pillowcases only so I could see how they held up over time. Pleased with the results, when it was time to buy my winter flannel sheets again, I went ahead and ordered the Pinzon king sheet set a few months ago, in white. After having these for about 3 months, and using them continuously, I feel I can give a proper review now

Really like these sheets, sizing is an issue though

 It a very soft, well made flannel pillow case. However, I was really looking more for a sham to put on my bed that would match with my Vellux blanket (I haven't found Vellux blankets). They weren't what I was looking for and therefore, the 4 stars, however, if you're looking for a nice flannel pillowcase, these are very nice and would recommend.

This is flannel not velvet

 So I took off one star for the fitted sheet.  Since there are many variables in manufacturing nowadays, it's possible that I received a mis-cut sheet but it's too late to exchange.  So I will recommend the sheet set with one caveat: Make sure the fitted sheet fits properly and return the sheets if it doesn't.  UPDATE 06/02/2013: I found my memory foam topper to be uncomfortable so I removed it

 The fitted sheet fits the 12-inch mattress perfectly but if the mattress was even 1/2 to 1 inch thicker, this sheet would not fit properly.

 Until I figured this out, I kept trying to pull it down to tuck in but it refused. My mattress is 12 inches and my topper is 2-1/2 inches which is a total of 14-1/2 inches and there is NO WAY the fitted sheet (at least the one I received) will fit an 18 inch mattress which is in the description. The dimensions are conflicting because it states a 15 inch pocket but then states it will fit an 18 inch mattress. So which is it? Nonetheless, the thickness of my mattress with topper is safely within the 15 inches but the sheet does not tuck in on one side

  CONS: I didn't realize it until a few washings but the fitted sheet does not fit on one side. It looks like it was improperly cut (see the photo I uploaded). Until I figured this out, I kept trying to pull it down to tuck in but it refused. My mattress is 12 inches and my topper is 2-1/2 inches which is a total of 14-1/2 inches and there is NO WAY the fitted sheet (at least the one I received) will fit an 18 inch mattress which is in the description

Lovely and Warm Sheets for Winter

 The 190 gram (White, Cream and now Thyme) all suffer from too-small pillowcases. The measurements online are the same but in real life they differ by nearly 2" in width, making it impossible to fit pretty much any queen pillow. I only use the 200 gram pair, the others are collecting dust in the back of my linen closet. The fitted sheets are not cut as generously either, so I'm guessing somewhere along the line some sneaky cost cutting measures were taken

 This time I measured the pillowcases when I opened the package and they were spot on at 20'x30'. It's only when they were washed that they shrunk a good 2" all around and became unusable for queen sized pillows. It's probably why the sheets seem a bit skimpy in width/length sometimes too. They need to preshrink the fabric is all, I don't know why this hasn't been addressed in over 10 years but Amazon really should insist upon it if they keep charging $75 per set

  I have several sets of these velvet flannel sheets dating back to 2007 and while these are all my preferred sheets I have a few complaints. My original set (200 gram Supima, Saffron) is still perfect in every way. The 190 gram (White, Cream and now Thyme) all suffer from too-small pillowcases. The measurements online are the same but in real life they differ by nearly 2" in width, making it impossible to fit pretty much any queen pillow

 Finally the set I got in White just doesn't measure up to the others and is smaller and thinner than the others. Quality control issues have plagued this particular product for over a decade, which is unfortunate since it was that first set that put Amazon on the map for me.

NICE sheets but...

 My previous set lasted 4 yrs , constantly on the bed and washed once a week and hot dryer. It was the elastic on the fitted sheet that gave way plus i wanted o change from high color teal, which never faded, to a clear soft sage. Some companies ofter a sage but use a cheaper dye turning the sage color milky and the color does not hold up.

 These sheets are the heaviest cotton flannel on the market at 190 , that's more than the US 5.5 ounce that is the very good quality standard.

 its another chemical your body needs to process.If you can afford it , be kind to your body and sleep on natural fibers. These sheets are the heaviest cotton flannel on the market at 190 , that's more than the US 5.5 ounce that is the very good quality standard

Pinzon 190-Gram Heavyweight Velvet Flannel Sheets Review

These bargain sheets aren’t the most luxurious flannel set we recommend, but they outperformed many pricier sets we’ve tested. And they come in the most modern, whimsical prints of all of our picks.

What do I sleep on now? 100% cotton, long staple cotton fiber sheets made by Threshold, or 100% organic cotton from Magnolia Home (both Target brands). I know, right?! But both brands make cotton blends, microfiber crap, or itchy lower thread count total garbage, so be sure to read the descriptions carefully. Pass up on anything that’s not 100% cotton, or anything less than 200-250 thread count. I used to sleep on long staple Egyptian cotton sheets, anywhere from 330-1300 thread count, so I was a bit huffy about ”downgrading” to a lower number

 So because of a very generous employee discount, for 20 years I was able to sleep on Egyptian cotton sateen, ultra high thread count bedding that would normally sell for over $1200 for queen sheets + duvet cover. I’ve even had two sets of 100% silk..

I used to sleep on long staple Egyptian cotton sheets, anywhere from 330-1300 thread count, so I was a bit huffy about ”downgrading” to a lower number. But the higher the thread count you go, the warmer the sheets can become. The sweet spot for me is around 200-250

So I have a set of Ralph Lauren sheets that we got as a wedding gift maybe 10 years ago, they were expensive at least the "MSRP" was high like $300 I think.  I don't know anything about them and have long since thrown out the packaging.  The only thing I have to go on is the tag (see picture linked below)...

[https://www.amazon.com/photos/shared/gsT6jHh1S-6uY0Lyc6BToQ.KcsHPWg7qShBtXV7GZiFU5](https://www.amazon.com/photos/shared/gsT6jHh1S-6uY0Lyc6BToQ.KcsHPWg7qShBtXV7GZiFU5)

I contacted Ralph Lauren through via social media and they said they had no idea what model the sheets I have are, and the best they could do was recommend their current set of Sateen sheets.

These sheets are 100% cotton but they are super soft and silky - even from day one.

I have tried buying a few different sets of sheets over the years but cannot find anything that compares. Unfortunately, these Ralph Lauren sheets are starting to fall apart due to use.

Hoping someone can help me find a replacement that would be comparable!

I've tried the following sheets, a lot of them seem to be promising out of the packaging but they aren't as soft after washing:

1. Lauren Ralph Lauren Spencer Cotton Sateen 475 thread count Queen Sheets - these felt great out of the packaging but after washing they lost their shininess and silky feel.
2. Cariloha Resort Bamboo Sheets - these remain soft after washing, but the lack the crispness of cotton.  Not a huge fan of them.
3. Ghostbed Tencell / Cotton blend sheets - these felt great before washing too, I had high hopes - but after washing they feel like cheap cotton sheets, I washed them based on the directions - normal cycle, cold water, dried using the delicate cycle - I washed 1 pillowcase to compare and there is a big difference between pre-wash and post-wash.
4. Brooklinen Luxe Sateen - same deal with these, I followed the directions for washing and they were not soft after washing. I contacted them and they said to try them and keep using them and they will get softer over time - but I don't think that shine / silky feel will return.
5. Eucalypso 100% Tencell - I only ordered the pillow cases to try them and they remain really soft after washing, but similar to the Cariloha sheets there is no crispness to them the way cotton sheets would be, or maybe it is the thickness of the sheet itself

I probably have missed a few sheet sets I've bought over the years - but these are the most recent ones I've tried.

In terms of the washing machine / dryer, both are relatively new - and the washing machine is one of the high efficiency upright kinds that are supposed to be easier on your laundry. I dunno!

I'm willing to pay more for a good set of sheets that will feel like that Ralph Lauren set I was gifted \~10 years ago, I just can't find one and a lot of the more expensive sheets do not have a return policy and I can't bring myself to spend $450 on a set of sheets that I can't test out first.

Any suggestions or recommendations on brands I should try that might be better / also have decent return policies so I can return them if they don't end up being good after washing?

Trying to find replacement bed sheets - none are as soft and silky-smooth

I have a king set of Threshold cotton percale sheets from Target which have been much better than I would have expected from the $40 on sale price. I bought them as a temporary replacement for a $300+ set from Pottery Barn which ripped after 6 months. They’ve been so good, almost two years later I still haven’t replaced this “temporary” set.

My wife usually grab s a set of king white sheets at Marshall's but after a 8-12 months they always seem to rip and thin out

What are some quality percale sheets that Target, Tjmaxx or Bed Bath has that are good? How can you tell if they're percale?

I literally just want to head in go direct to the bedding section and get the exact ones you folks recommend.

I'm also going to order something from LL Bean

Target / Bed Bath Percale Sheets?

 I just need that thick blanket that goes on top of your sheets. Around the same price would be great but I won't be shocked to find out a good comforter/whatever costs a bit more than that.

I did the best research I could before setting on the Target brand Threshold for a good set of sheets. I hated them so much. They felt way harder than I expected and got more and more so after going through wash/dry cycles. They also ended up tearing
