I definitely now prefer sheets made of spandex, never bunch up under you. So good.

[–] Catfish@aussie.zone 6 points 2 months ago

Oh another thing! I’d really want to touch those in person first at that price point though.

Wow, they sound amazing. I have many questions.. actually just 4: How do they handle romantic interludes and the various resulting bodily outcomes? Are they sweaty in summer? Do they dry easily after you wash them? Do they stain easily?

Well @PeelerSheila@aussie.zone just killed my attempt at polite

[–] PeelerSheila@aussie.zone 2 points 2 months ago

Lol I'm as subtle as a train crash when my diplomacy fails, there is no middle.

I don't fuck under the covers usually, I couldn't tell you! But I have spilt chocolate and coffee on them. They look and feel brand new still after a year of washing and machine drying. Seems safe with oxygen bleach.

They aren't sweaty/hot to me. I sleep hot at the best of times, I think I would have noticed if they make it worse.

I've not had the need to air dry them, my guess is they'd be similar to cotton.

Thanks for the info. I sleep hot also and once bought microfiber.. ugh. Worst sheets ever. Using a cotton blend atm but the dust and fibres! I change the sheets and make the bed and it looks like I haven't dusted in weeks!

Somehow, I'm brutal on my sheets. I wear through fitted sheets quickly. I've taken to using a heavy linen throw as my base sheet, it seems tough enough to take whatever I'm throwing at it.

Check out W H Amad online - they supply Sheraton Hotels in Australia with all their sheets and linen, and Ronald McDonald House with theirs. The plain white sheets are amazing - lovely strong linen that copes very well with all kinds of abuse. There's a direct to public shop in Gaffney St Coburg.

Er, May I send you a rather personal question about these?

[–] Pilk@aussie.zone 1 points 2 months ago

Sure
