HOW MUCH SHOULD I BE PAYING FOR GOOD LUXURY BEDDING: EGYPTIAN COTTON QUEEN OR KING SIZE SHEETS SETS, DUVETS, DUVET COMFORTER COVERS & SETS?
Though we all want the best 'deal' when we're shopping, keep in mind that price is a key factor and indicator as to quality of Sheets, Sheet Sets, Duvet Cover Sets, or any new Fine Linens or Bedding you're purchasing. No one wants to pay more than necessary for a new item, and it's fun to locate a great find at good prices. But keep in mind that, with Bedding, if the price seems too low, chances are it truly is. The following is general guidelines however holds very true for the area of Fine Linens and Bedding. If you're paying less than a few hundred dollars for Sheets beginning near 460TC and above, including what are touted as 1000TC or 1200TC Sheet Sets, be aware that the Thread Count is probably not a True Thread Count and will most likely be comprised of Multiple-Ply fibers. To learn about Multiple-Ply fibers click here. The best Egyptian Cotton Sheets are Single-Ply, long-yarn fibers, not Multiple-Ply, 2-Ply or 4-Ply. Multiple-Ply sets typically require frequent replacement of several Sheet Sets per year.
Weaving is a fine art, and the Best Egyptian Cotton Sheet Sets are woven in Italy, the country known for weaving methods and looms that are incomparable with any other country in the world. Expect to pay near $400 to $500 or more for a good Egyptian Cotton Sheet Set, particularly for Italian Sheet Sets and Fine Bedding or Bed Linens, or even upwards depending upon where you purchase. Egyptian Cotton Duvets require an entire additional sheet of material for weaving, and you can accurately expect to spend in the range of $500-$700 for good Egyptian Cotton Duvets and Duvet Cover Sets depending upon size and style of weave. Some Egyptian Cotton Sheets and Bed Duvets or Duvet Cover Sets can run in the thousands but the difference in quality and feel is often minimal, so set a guide as to what your personal needs are. You may well find that double to triple the investment has little to no difference and simply may not be worth it. The difference between Sheet Sets that cost thousands and those near the $500 range is often nothing other than history of the brand rather than difference in quality. Fine Luxury Bedding is an investment, a worthwhile one that enhances peace, relaxation and rest.
