Buy bed sheets online
The old saying that “if it looks too good to be true, it probably isn’t true” applies as much to buying bed sheets online as anything else. As a buyer it’s really easy to get sucked in to a deal that looks like a bargain, only to find it really isn’t when you get the goods. You really do get what you pay for when you buy bed linen online. There are a couple of areas where some unscrupulous sellers often cut corners to make a few dollars more.
Thread counts
The thread count is probably the most common area where claims are often too good to be true. As a seller it’s really difficult to compete with the sellers offering 1000TC sheets for the same price as your 250TC products when you know the high thread count is misleading, or a flat out lie. By the time the buyer realises their bargain purchase really wasn’t, it’s too late. Here’s how it’s done. A budget 250TC product is woven from single strands of cotton or polyester. If you braid 4 thinner strands together and weave the same fabric, you can call it 1000TC. It isn’t any finer or any better, in fact it feels much the same, but that 1000TC label is a great selling point. Real 1000TC sheets cost good money.
100% Pure cotton
The amount of cotton in your 100% pure cotton sheets is another potential problem to be wary of with some online sheet sellers. A couple of years ago, the price of cotton rose quickly and wholesale prices of cotton products went up too. Around the same time we saw a whole lot of so-called luxury products emerge. Bed sheets with high thread counts and “pure” Egyptian cotton flooded eBay and markets. Sadly you can’t check the material without a lab or setting it on fire so we say buyer beware. Good cotton costs good money too.
We try hard to make sure every product listed on our site really is what it says it is so you can buy bed sheets online with confidence.
