Not sure there are any sheets that last a lifetime. Best I’ve gotten is out of super high thread count and having a lot of sets but still not buy it for life status. Even synthetic will break down eventually, can’t stand the feel personally tho.

Yeah, agreed that sheets are not a once in a lifetime purchase. Just looking for some quality linen sheets that I don’t have to worry about rebuying every other year.

I can’t stand the feel of synthetic sheets against my skin either. I only buy linen sheets because it feels the best against my skin and if I’m gonna spend a third of my life in bed then I’m gonna buy what feels the best to me.

When you do narrow it down to a few comparable sets, always read the reviews if buying on line, or in stores for that matter. I’ve also learned that some with the highest number of reviews and sales, are often not accurate when reviews can vary to opposite extremes. Have also learned to filter for the most recent reviews, since it’s most likely there’s been an improvement, (or decline), in many products from good brands as well as lesser known brands.

I’ve spent so much time reading reviews on sheets and other essential items, always wanting to get the best quality at the most reasonable price for quality items.

I also always write reviews for items I love and why, as well as those I do not, and why, oftentimes posting photos or short videos, too. (I also recommend watching).

Good luck OP, I understand the struggle!

Yeah I’m the same way, I’ve found high thread cotton sheets to wear quite nicely, they can seem touch stiff by still luxurious and as they wear they get a really nice feel to them. I shop around at Tuesday morning and marshals and can usually find 1000 count sheets king sized for around 100$ and you get the added bonus of getting to feel them. As a other poster indicated not all are of equal value, and online sales reviewers may not like the same attributes as you do (or be fake reviews)
