I bought 2 fitted sheets for our king size bed 4 years ago and one of them had a huge tear (from wear) last week. I can see the other one is going as well and I am rather disappointed. The 2 duvet covers I bought 3 years ago from the same company (Homescapes, via Amazon) are still in good condition.
The sheets were thread count 400, Egyptian cotton satin stripe and they were about £20 each. I change bedding twice a month and the sheets are washed at 60 celcius and air dried.
What am I doing wrong? They always feel really tight on the bed when I make it, should I buy a size up? I really think they should have lasted longer.
