New sheets are scratchy

[JBB]

So I got some new sheets and I find them to be a little abrasive. I slept on them no problem, but they're not overly comfortable/soft. After a washing will they be a lot better, or just a little?

Should be much better after you wash them.

[keikiwai]

Just a little.

Important considerations:

Make sure 100% contton (or silk, not other stuff).

Make sure thread count is high.

In my experience, a lot better.

JBB,

This thread is worthless without thread count information.

[wacki]

if not you can always stone wash 'em.


Next time get high thread count egyptian cotton. It's the nutz.

Me too, but why don't you just wash them and find out? If OOT said they wouldn't be that much better after washing, would you try to take them back or just buy new sheets?

i'm in the market for some new sheets - you people need to suggest some for me. I know nothing about sheets, OOT was the first place I'd heard of 'thread counts' and what not. i'm a nerb.

Putting the sheets on and off the bed is a bit of a production, and I'm quite lazy. They're styaing put for a little bit.

They are egyptian cotton, i do not know the thread count off hand.

If they are not suitable after washing i will probably just toss and use the 2 other sets i have.
