Recently purchased my dream bed, so I keep looking for presents for it. I’m interested in jersey sheets to mix things up, but I’d like thick luxurious ones not those college jobbies. And they have to be 100% cotton.
Thank you for the excellent recommendations. I didn’t realize that Coyuchi had a year long satisfaction period. I used to only buy percale it does wear very well. I’ve slept on Coyuchi linen it was super cozy.
Jersey sheets will never be "buy it for life" just due to how they're made expect to replace them fairly often
Fair point, they don’t have to last that much longer to qualify for bifml!
Jersey sets aren’t bifl. They are too thin and not constructed well. You’re going to want percale.
Good point, totally agree. I may have posted to the wrong sub. I’m not sure I want to keep sheets for life. After about two decades I start getting that wandering eye ;)
Try serena and lily sheets.
Thank you, those are some posh sheets for sure.
You are not interested in thick luxurious ones as those are not terms of purchase.
You are interested in the highest weight fabric you can find. Flannel weight is displayed in grams per square meter (GSM) or ounces. Get the heaviest ones you can find. This is the left hand of the Venn Diagram of Purchase.
Long Staple Cotton, Egyptian Cotton, Pima Cotton or Supima Cotton is the type of cotton you want. This is the right hand of the Venn Diagram of Purchase.
You may have to buy lighter weight Pima flannel sheets vs. heavier weight "cotton" sheets but such is life.
Now go to google and put in the work now that you know. And also know that while this advice is great...this is BIFL and flannel sheets are generally known as the shittiest sheets you can buy.
Rule #1.
How lovely of you to bite the hand that feeds you. I literally told you how to buy BIFL flannel sheets and yet you felt the need to be a cockbag and snipe me for my last sentence. I am drawing one line through your name on my Christmas Card List.
Don’t be a shitty person while asking for advice. This was a well thought out comment
I had serious respiratory issues for a year, finally took a good luck at my mattress, one day, after changing my sheets.
Red "dust" embedded in all the quilting folds of the mattress top. Vacuumed that shit right up, threw the red jersey sheets in the trash, no problems since then.
Ugh that’s horrible, glad you found the cause.
I don’t know about luxurious jersey sheets, but tbh a good set of flannel sheets is just as cozy and you can find them in all cotton. I have a set from LL Bean and they’ve held up well
Thank you. I don’t think of LLBean for bedding but in other threads I see them mentioned a lot.
Costco has the best cotton sheets of anywhere I have tried. I get white and bleach weekly and they last 4-5 years usually
Yes yes this. The Hotel Signature 800TC sheets, anyone reading this immediately go to the Costco website and buy these. They are marvelous, better than sheets at any hotel I have been able to afford! I have the white ones, they are crazy luxurious and make me feel like I’m sleeping inside a Vera Wang wedding dress (in a good way). However they are sateen, not jersey.

I have percale sheets from Coyuchi, they sell jersey though. Best part is you can get store credit for up to a year, so if the jersey doesn't hold up like you expect, you could try percale. All of my items from Coyuchi have been holding up well, except a pillow case sham where the button came off in the washing machine, which i then sent back for store credit and got something else.
Also, I'd personally suggest getting white so you can safely treat stains without worrying about being color safe
