I don't understand people's mentality that that's seen as sickeningly expensive. We spend a third of our lives in bed, and good sleep is fundamental to health. It's a small investment.

I mean, that was equivalent to two months’ worth of mortgage payment back then. So yes, it was very expensive.

It is sickeningly expensive when you’re living paycheck to paycheck. I’d love to buy some more expensive quality sheets, but 300 for a sheet set is WAY beyond what I can afford. I’d have to save up for quite some time.

People think bedding is disposable. They don't think it's bilf accessable as microplastic sheets are marketed as doorbuster deals at $25usd a set with a 1500tc, when a proper set of 250tc sheets cost $500usd.

Bridge pricing is worse, when people flex their spending and buy something at $250usd then those sheets don't close the quality gap and fail, those people then say expensive sheets are bad. There are multiple examples of this on this thread. Literally, a decent percale is $500, a decent linen is about $700-1000. There are people here complaining that their $300 linen sheets failed, but they have no understanding of Belgium or Ireland flax protocols, or staples and weaving.

Sorry for the rant, but you are soooo correct that a third of life is sleep. Good sheets are healthful.
