    Recently bought some new Sheet Society sheets, and holy hell has the quality dipped! Maybe I just got a shit batch, but I will not be spending that much again to find out.

    Super bummed because I love my old washed cotton set, they were warm in the winter and cool in summer. This new one is just thin, see-through, and doesn’t feel at all like washed cotton.

        Basically they drop the thread count until sales plummet, then blame the market

        I bought them when they were having a big sale so I’m unable to return them.

      Hells Blankets did this too. No more 100% cotton with press studs, it’s now acrylic bullshit with a flimsy zip. Not impressed.

      The washed cotton vintage sheets at Canningvale are a delight if you’re looking for more one day. I’ve just ordered a second set to try and secretly replace my partner’s old scuzzy sheets 😬

          They’re at the end of a big sale which is probably why. If you don’t need them urgently they should be back in stock soon.

            Yes I’m kicking myself I wasn’t aware of the sale earlier. It’s not urgent I can wait.
