Use vinegar to soften them up faster though

We are currently using the striped ones as well, after about 5 or so wash and dry cycles, like heaven!

The comforters you can’t machine wash, but no comforter will last if you machine wash it anyway. That’s the nature of them. With wool ones you can let them air out outside to freshen them up and then if accidents do happen the company has a special process to clean them.

Red Land Cotton- my mom got us one of their covers for a wedding gift, absolutely amazing and their sheets are the bomb and feel super cozy. They have a lifetime warranty.
Frankenmuth Woolen Mill- best comforters ever, my wife hates sleeping with anything else. Keeps us the perfect temperature and they last for decades. They have been making them in the same factory for 125+ years. We love their pillows too.

Reply to comment by Nanosleep1024 in Can you help identify this sheet material? It's literally one of grandma's old sheets, it seems to have a thread count of about 150, but the most important thing is the weight, it's 240gsm, twice as heavy as anything I can find online. by PrettyGazelle
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

Yes we do, we have our house at 72 in the summer and it gets a little hotter than that in our bedroom, and we use it in the winter and it is fantastic in both extremes

Silky sheets usually won’t stay that way though.

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!

100% Frankenmuth Woolen Mill. Made in the same factory since 1894 and no changes in quality. They last for decades and keep us the perfect temperature. They are like heaven. That’s an understatement. We absolutely love them, the best thing we did for our bed.

It may have been at one point, decades ago, but anyone with knowledge on textiles will tell you that it hasn’t been much of anything special compared to the overall cotton market for quite some time

Red Land Cotton, for sure. They hold up well to dogs because the fabric is a lot better than other companies. Then again that can probably be attributed to the company growing and ginning its own cotton vs buying it off the open market.

Clayton and Crume- indestructible leather leashes and collars
West Paw- also indestructible dog toys, these are awesome

1000+ thread count isn’t real, and thread count is a marketing scheme, don’t buy into the hype.
Also, pretty well known that Egyptian Cotton is a scam. There have been tons of lawsuits over it being mislabeled and in fact, a vast majority of it isn’t even from Egypt. It isn’t better than Pima, Supima, or upland Cotton.

If it is “steel” for $15 I can guarantee you it is either aluminum or tin.
