    Tbh, with jersey sheets, you’re better off going cheap. The knit is going to fail at some point, and the thinner ones are actually more comfortable overall.

    Yeah, the cheap ones will wear out faster, but not by much.

    Iirc, the longest lasting I’ve had were Utopia. The most comfortable were something polo, US polo, or something like that.

    We switched away from Jersey when we buy new sheets because there’s some issues with it at queen size, but I do have a couple of sets that are over ten years old from both of those brands (again, iirc, it isn’t like I have receipts right in front of me or anything).

    We’ve had some percale sheets from The Company Store for a while. I recommend that brand/website.

      Unfortunately, I have 2 percale sets and a bath mat from them, and cannot stand any of them. The sheets are very thin fabric, and tear easily (and frequently). The bath mat just fails at every quality that makes for a good bath mat. I will not be purchasing from them again. But I am very glad that you have gotten enjoyment out of them, and continue to do so.

        Bummer. Ours are from 6 or 7 years ago and have held up well. There’s always a chance they’ve decreased the quality in recent years.

    I will counter with advice to spend more for a good pair of sheets. They will literally last you years. If you amortize the cost it will be worth it.
