Queen size fitted sheets

k0llectable5 — Mon, 01 Sep 2014 22:33:30 GMT

Hi everyone 🙂

I'm needing some new queen size fitted sheets, does anyone know where I can get really good quality sheets for a decent price atm? I've done a bit of a search on here and on google but some personal opinions would be much appreciated.

let me think...i think that's 8 inches normally..roughly 20 CM,i think? so you'd likely want a 10 inch(25 cm,roughly) pocket,in case they shrink.

i ask because we got a new bed recently,and the mattress is 8 inches. BUT,since i'm not fond of the firm mattress,i got a 3&1/2 inch twin size foam topper for my side. so i have to buy sheets with a 15 inch pocket,or they don't hold onto the corners of my side,lol!

Thanks 61840 I will check their website and see what the local Spotlight has to offer.

Yeah Sin, I'm thinking 10 inches is about right for what I would need.

Does anyone know any other stores that may be having a sale on sheets atm. I really want to get them today, I think I have one decent fitted sheet left all the others really need to be chopped up for rags now lol

I just checked DJs ... some were on special ... depends what you want with colour and thread count ...

k0llectable5 — Mon, 01 Sep 2014 23:13:53 GMT

Is that David Jones? We dont have any of those stores locally...

Re: colour and thread count, I'm not too fussed about what colour just any light pastel colours or solid colours would be fine. I'm not really looking for patterns or polkadots ect lol

As for thread count, um I'm not really sure what the difference is. It seems the higher the thread count the more expensive the sheet. I'm really not wanting to pay a heap of money for them becasue I want to get about 4 (not sheet sets, just fitted sheets) and I dont really want to pay anymore than $20 or $30 dollars per sheet. Or is that too tighta$$ for something decent do you think?

You will find most sheets are sold in sets now.. Flat,fitted and pillowcases.
So there will be limited choice for sheets sold separately. It is cheaper per sheet to buy the set, than one sheet too usually.

$20 -$30 is not much for a quality sheet.

I don't know, Sec. I like cheap thin cotton sheets. They seem to warm up easier 🙂

I just checked a website I sometimes use, but they only had sets there.

Re: Queen size fitted sheets

cherry*135 — Mon, 01 Sep 2014 23:32:56 GMT

We can't really give names of other places to buy on ebay forum.

Re: Queen size fitted sheets

k0llectable5 — Mon, 01 Sep 2014 23:36:09 GMT

Really AM? Does it say that in the rules somewhere?

Re: Queen size fitted sheets

katydidthat — Mon, 01 Sep 2014 23:45:20 GMT

Sec, I just had a look on eBay ... great bargains, fitted sheets by themselves, or with two pillowcases ... big variety of colours.

I searched on fitted sheet queen ...

Re: Queen size fitted sheets

k0llectable5 — Mon, 01 Sep 2014 23:46:18 GMT

I dont know about that Am, I cant find anything in the rules that says we're not allowed to reccommend other places to buy goods...

Re: Queen size fitted sheets

cherry*135 — Mon, 01 Sep 2014 23:49:58 GMT

Past experience. Ebay sells a variety of goods..why would they want posters recommending other stores.

Re: Queen size fitted sheets

k0llectable5 — Mon, 01 Sep 2014 23:51:55 GMT

Yeah Katy, I did do that myself before starting this thread, and for sure they do seem like good bargains and I'll always shop on eBay first if it's the right product for the right price.

I guess my problem is I kinda wanted to have them today...

Re: Queen size fitted sheets

k0llectable5 — Mon, 01 Sep 2014 23:55:38 GMT

Because sometimes it's also good to shop locally.

And as I said if you can find a specific rule prohibiting posters from reccommending other stores then so be it.

I'm actually more interested in peoples personal opinions on the topic.

I know how you feel about wanting it NOW ...

If you filtered the search so that it only looked in Australia, you could probably have them by the end of the week.

Anyway, like I said I like them cheap and thin. No need to worry about washing them, I just shove them in the machine and then the dryer. No need for ironing them. And, when they get old, I just buy new ones.

k0llectable5 — Tue, 02 Sep 2014 00:07:11 GMT

No need for ironing them.

LOL whats an iron hehe

Nah just kidding I know what an iron is, but I dont think I have ever ironed sheets before, it has to be a pretty special occasion before I will iron anything (apart from work or school uniforms ect)

The higher the thread count the thicker the sheet is, so I have one high count pair for winter but lower count for the rest of the year. Being the bottom sheet, they would last longer being high count. I've seen seperate fitted and flat sheets for sale at big w. don't know if you have one nearby?
