The Best Wrinkle Free Bed Sheets...

A few years ago, I bought several sets of 600 count, Egyptian cotton sheets. They wrinkled horribly. They looked like crinkled crepe paper with both small wrinkles from washing & deep creases after sleeping on them. I've seen origami paper has has creases less deep. :rolleyes: (Probably the reason they were on clearance. :headache: ) I'm not one to iron sheets either.

The Egyptian cotton, which I've always seen described as being incredibly soft, was TOO soft and lacked structure, instead aiding in wrinkling. As for the 600 count, I've since read in a lot of sources that higher thread count doesn't necessarily make for better, thicker sheets. There is only so many threads that can be woven into a one inch square space. If one tries to squeeze a lot more, something has to give. Often it's the threads are just made thinner to fit them all in. Sure enough, when I read reviews on higher thread count sheets, people often complain how easily the sheets shred or tear really easily.

So I went back to 300 count sheets, although I didn't want the crispy percale I had grown up with - that never wrinkled. I bought Target's Threshold brand, Ultra Soft Fitted Sheets. They are 100% cotton so they won't pill like synthetic. They are reasonably thick and they have an elastic that goes all the way around the bottom hem. So even if one doesn't have a deep mattress, it wraps around the mattress snuggly. They are soft. And best of all they don't wrinkle. :woohoo: I'm really happy with them.

I'm with you here. I got infatuated with the highest quality sheets and bought a set of 800 thread count thinking I would have the mack daddy of sheets only to find that they were soooo thick that it was downright annoying. Talk about heavy and bulky. Not great for our humid Summers in the South. I too went back to 300 TC which kind of started off the TC trend if you remember. Then it started getting higher and higher but the quality did not. I went through a phase where Modal sheets were my go to, but they definitely don't last long. They get little holes in them really quick and will pill over time, but I sure loved that silky t-shirt feel! They are hard to find these days. Walmart had them for really cheap for a while and stopped carrying them. Probably due to the short lifespan. But hey, if they're cheap enough....
 
The WHY is the same reason one gets different colored sheets, or ones with prints, stripes or damask. Presumably, it's not to give tours of one's bedroom either. It's for the aesthetics. One's aesthetics are one's aesthetics. There is nothing wrong with that. If they are not yours, then they are not yours.

Sounds like a serious case for needing a computer mouse with a great scroll wheel. You can pass by any thread that's not for you.


Relax, I simply asked a question. I don't understand the need for something to be wrinkle-free that nobody would see. Even the owner of the bed wouldn't be looking at the sheets most of the time as they are either in a linen closet or under a blanket/duvet when on the bed.
 
Looking for Best Wrinkle Free Bed Sheets then try fitted bed sheets. Fitted sheets have a elastic edge in their 4 corners that fit properly on the mattress. And your bed see as wrinkle free.
 
Hmmm....I need sheets that stay on the queen bed. The bottom sheet always comes off. And always rips right away. The corners just don't stay in place. The corners of the are deep as it is a foam mattress. I will look into those.
I have a deep Sterns and Foster mattress. I buy Ralph Lauren sheets and they stay on better than anything else I've tried. I buy them from Home Goods, TJ Maxx, Marshall's, or online when I can find a good price.

I don't care if they wrinkle. They feel crisp to me. I don't like when they are too soft, like microfiber sheets.
 
I have Charter Club sheets from Macy's. I don't pay attention to wrinkles, but the fitted sheet stays on the mattress well. I have a really deep mattress, too, and it's never come off anywhere.

All the talk of bamboo sheets feeling cold makes me NOT want them. 😄 Aside from a few days in the summer, I want my bed to be warm.
 
Is there such a thing as crisp wrinkle-free? Not really liking the feel of microfiber which seems to be really popular nowadays.

All cotton Percale sheets tend to stay crisp, even after washing several times. Perecale means the way the threads are densely woven that makes them stay crisp.

I have those target ones too I must say I’m quite happy. I’m a bad snob and usually I go higher count but these are pretty good for that price point. Me personally I will only sleep in cotton. If I see the word poly I run

Met too. Poly or poly blends tend to pill over time. :badpc:
