Has anyone purchased Comphy Co. sheets?
Comments (8)I decided to buy some highly rated sheets, since I've never done that in 47 years of marriage. I believed the hype for these sheets, and therefore was so disappointed that they didn't fit my king bed. The fitted sheet does not lay flat because it is way too big for mattress. As for the top sheet, I could wrap it around 2 king size mattresses. I have discussed this with the complaint department at Comphy. In all honesty, I washed the sheets first because for the price I thought I'd never have a problem. I was wrong. I was told that if I washed the sheets ,I couldn't return them, even if they didn't fit the bed. I was told that I should have measured my mattress. I have never had a problem getting a king sheet set that didn't fit the mattress, and I couldn't believe how badly these sheets fit. Then I was told I could return them, at my expense, and have them altered to fit my mattress, at my expense, and I would also have to pay to have them set back to me. I have never been so disappointed, not only in the product, but the company’s complete indifference to my problem. I hope whoever decides to buy these sheets, either measures them and hope they fit, or, personally, don’t buy them at all....See Morehas anyone bought wholesale/bulk hotel sheets?
Comments (17)So, as for some of liriodendron's specific points: At the amount that wholesale sheets would cost me and the ease of obtaining them, I don't think I would have to worry much about them wearing at the edges or getting polyester-y. I don't sleep in AC at the timeshare condo in August and the sheets are fine. I sew a lot and making fitted sheets + pillowcases would be trivial for me. You know, I have to admit that part of my motivation for switching to wholesale hotel supply sheets would be that I am sick of the retail sheet industry and would love to stick it to them in my own small way. A sheet is a plain, basic staple of bedding. Everyone I know buys and uses them. They're not inherently a specialty or luxury good. Now, I know that sheets *can* be indulged in as specialty and luxury goods. I know that people *do* make a hobby of learning about bedding fibers and collecting their favorite types. In no way do I have anything against people who want to do those things, but my point is, it shouldn't be necessary for someone who just wants to buy a household staple that won't fall apart or cost them an absurdly inflated price. In order to do this, no one should HAVE to collect esoteric fiber information. Nobody should HAVE to pass along clues by word of mouth as to who makes a decent product this month or year. Nobody should HAVE to scour eBay or find specialty stores to buy a plain, staple household item! The retail sheet industry seems to have done its best to twist and obfuscate facts in order to sell millions of poorly made products with planned obsolescence and few real alternatives. I would love to opt out of their marketing horsepoo and intentionally shoddy goods, and simply never worry about it again. $125 or so every handful of years, even if the sheets wear out faster than I would hope (and I think that rotating between 3-4 sets would do much to extend their lifespans), seems to me like a very small price to pay for that freedom....See MoreAnyone else looking for crisp sheets? Part 2
Comments (76)IF you can find them anywhere, Rivolta Carmignati cotton sheets made in Italy are the crispest, lightest sheets I've ever found. And I found them in a bin in a thriftstore! An entire bin filled with these sheets. I had no idea what they were; if I had, I've have bought the entire bin at $1 each. I bought several flat sheets and a duvet to die for. Not until later, when I found a tag and looked it up, did I realize what they are. Other than these, I have Ralph Lauren and Thomas O'Brien, all cotton that I really like, but they really don't compare to the Italian cotton. Here is a link that might be useful: Rivolta Carmignati...See Morecotton for making sheets
Comments (4)We've had waterbeds since 1978. I can't suggest a source for sheeting fabrics, but I can suggest this: Use a flat double size sheet for your bottom sheet with sheet garters on the four corners. Then just use a regular queen sheet for the top sheet. Hub and I went to a regular bed several years ago, but we put a Cal King mattress in our waterbed frame. (For a king size bed use a queen size sheet for the bottom.) I'm still using the same sheet method as I did when it was a waterbed. We still have waterbeds in the kids' old rooms, and that's how I've always done the sheets. They never come off the beds, stay smooth and tight till the next change....See Moreonvitaikayan
