Yes compare the most expensive 250 CT to the least expensive 1000 CT good job. But you're only paying ten dollars more for a less durable sheet in your example. So I think you're failing to appreciate replacement cost.
I did say thanks. Its like this, I'm an old bloke, you're a young one. I've been buying sheets for 30 odd years. I've been through a lot of brands and quality levels and settled on preferring those. For my mind, they give the nicest feel for the longest time at the most reasonable cost per year. Damn, 1/2 the time, nights are so damn hot here, don't use the damn sheets anyways. I end up on a recliner out on the patio.
Gotta say this s one of my pet hates ( baddum tish)................ when some regulars think its ok to just randomly hug women if they are not great friends and maybe they are just people they talk to rather actual friends.....
