Seems to be muslin. However the closest thing we have found to “grandmother’s sheets” that are still in production are Red Land Cotton. It has a thread count of 140!

Red Land Cotton has been a big disappointment for me. It is possible they are BIFL. I bought sheets and towels for my wife for Christmas. So it has only been a little over a month, and they’ve only been through the wash a few times.

The sheets are just “ok”. Not particularly heavy, not particularly thick, and definitely not soft. They are just ok. An ok product for a premium price. Would not buy again.

The towels feel like junk. I got the “bath sheets”. The size is big, as advertised. But they are very very thin. Not anything close to fluffy luxury. Thin enough you can see through them when you hold it up to the light. My Target towels with 8 plus years of washing are way better. Soft fluffy and absolutely nothing to be seem through them. 8 years of use and they’re better than brand new Red Land Cotton. Would not buy again

The sheets take about 6-7 washes to really soften up and after that, they are amazing. My wife insists on only using them, which is hilarious since she thought I was exaggerating about them. Nothing is for everyone though.

To us the towels are the perfect weight, feel, and absorbency. They aren’t as “fluffy” as others maybe, but they all lose that feeling anyway since it’s mostly chemical induced. We only use their towels too, but the sheets are worth it more than the towels. Sorry you were disappointed with RLC, their products truly are incredible. I would wash the sheets a few more times for sure, but if you don’t like the towels you probably won’t ever

Agree. Red land sheets are fantastic. The whole thread count thing is mostly just a marketing gimmick
