…and ripped off?
Criminey! Just had to order a new set of queen-sized sheets. The pair I’ve been using ripped up the middle (that’s a new one on me!!). Forhevvinsake: FIFTY-FIVE BUCKS for one set of cotton sheets!
This, because the G.D. Mayo Clinic took away my driver’s license, so I can’t in any sane way get to a department store to buy the damn things.
Is this weird (not to say infuriating)? I have never had a sheet RIP right out from under me. It looks like probably a toenail somehow got caught on it, so that in moving around in my sleep I pulled the fabric apart.
Grrrrrrr!!!!!!!!!
Yes, I do have another set of sheets. But only ONE such set. Those quacks at the Mayo have invalidated my driver’s license(!!!), so I can’t even drive to a store to select a new set.
One needs two sets, so that one set can go in the wash while the Cleaning Lady from Heaven is making the bed with the already clean set.
And yes, I surely should feel grateful that Amazon exists. Ordering the things online is less than perfectly desirable (one would like to see and examine a purchase before dropping $55(!!!!!!!) on it. But it appears that I don’t have much choice.
There is a store within walking distance where you can buy linens. But it ain’t the kind of place where I’m used to buying that kind of stuff, and frankly it gives me pause. So does Amazon, of course: either way, you can’t be sure of the quality you’re getting.
Well…I hope this doesn’t turn into the disaster that I’m expecting. Rather little hope, I must say: when you have to buy something sight unseen, you pretty well guarantee a nice little fiasco for yourself.
A nice expensive fiasco!
I hear ya! I’m having a hard time trying to find a decent set of predominately cotton sheets. I used to get them at Tuesday Morning, but they went out of business.
I looked at sheets at Walmart recently and the selection was extremely limited. I do NOT want a set of gray sheets! The last time I bought sheets at a department store, they lasted about a year and a half, then began ripping apart on me.
When it comes to things like sheets, I need to inspect the merchandise before I buy. I’m very picky about the way sheets feel when I sleep on them. Anyway, let us know how you like yours.
Try Amazon. Understood about wanting to inspect them…Amazon puts the kaibosh on that. Otherwise, your choice is to go to the most expensive old-fashioned department store in your precincts!
