Good quality fitted sheets that Last

[MyProperTea]

I’m fed up of buying fitted sheets that wear thin and develop holes within a year!

I originally blamed dh (standard procedure) but now it’s started happening to my 10-year-old’s sheets too, so I’m beginning to think it might not be a him problem!

At this point, it doesn’t even have to be cotton. I will genuinely consider Kevlar if it means getting a fitted sheet that lasts longer than 18 months.

I’m happy to spend more for quality, but I’m sick of constantly replacing sheets!
If you’ve found a brand that genuinely lasts, please tell me your secrets!

Equally, if you think this could be a washing issue rather than the sheets themselves, I’m open to advice on that too. For reference, I currently wash them at 30°C on a cotton cycle, using non-bio detergent and a 1,000rpm spin, then air-dry them.

Am I missing something obvious, or are fitted sheets just not made to last anymore? Please share your recommendations (and brands to avoid)!

Dorma

I suffered a similar problem with John Lewis cotton fitted sheets. I’ve since bought from Dunelm and they’re cheaper, thicker, with stronger elastic and just feel better quality. I’ve only had them a few months so can’t be sure, but I’m hopeful.

I buy Marks and Spencer 230 thread count cotton deep fitted sheets and have had them for approx 3 - 4 years. I wash the colour ones on a 40 degree cotton wash and white ones on a 60 degree cotton wash. The other brand I like is The White Company. A bit pricey but have got a couple of flat sheets that I wash on a 60 degree cotton wash and are 7 years old

I use these and they are brilliant.

Rise and Fall or La Redoute

I buy these from m&s too and they last for many years at 60 degrees.

I buy the deep ones.

True grip 100%cotton dunelm. Love them

Dorma are good Dunelm sell them. Ive also got some Egyptian cotton ones from M&S think they were thread count 600 they don’t appear to do them anymore sadly but mine are roughly 7 years old.

Rise and fall.

I love Linen bundle sheets.

I’ve honestly never had sheets that wear out! I tend to buy supermarket sheets, but also have had 100% cotton sheets from Dunelm (their own brand) and sheets from IKEA that have both worn very well.
I wash them on the hottest setting using bio powder and some of that anti bacterial rinse, line dry in summer, tumble dry in winter.

DS got me onto IKEA bedding. Very thick durable cotton and really reasonable in comparison with similar quality elsewhere.

£80 for a fitted sheet!!!!! I’d expect a full set of king size bedding for that money!

I buy all my bedding from La Redoute. It’s always lasted well.

I brought some from IKEA years ago. They are always washed at 60 degrees and air dryed. Still going strong now

White company, got 9 years out of the last ones about 230- 250 thread count

You need a good thread count and Egyptian cotton. Anything over 400tc upto 600tc
it’s a matter of looking in the sale as some are

You are paying for the quality - they really do launder very well and feel pretty luxurious.

Sheridan. I was them at high temperature.

Rise and fall - expensive but worth it imo!

Piglet in Bed linen/ cotton blend. Expensive but worth waiting for the sales.

I like Bianca for sheets, reasonable price, never had one bobble.
