    Hey Guys,

    DH and I are having a BIG problem with our sheets pilling.

    DH and I spent some of our wedding gift money on a new King size bed and what we thought was wonderful sheets.

    The first sheets we bought were from Home Outfitters from the Home Damask Collection. 100% Pima Cotton 400TC. The sheets were wonderfully soft and silky for the first month or so but at the 2 month mark there were uncomfortable pills. We took them back and tried again.

    The second sheets we bought are from the Bay and they are from the Fieldcrest Luxury Collection. They are a rayon/bamboo blend and around 300TC. So ridiculously soft... but now we are 2 months in and they are pilling AGAIN.

    I am so fed up! We are spending LOTS of money on these sheets why are they doing this?

    I have read tons of reviews at this point and it seems like you just can't win. Pima or Egyptian cotton are supposed to be the best but we still got pills with the Pima cotton.

    So here is my question to the hive. Have you found sheets that don't pill? If yes, what is the brand? Fabric? Thread Count?

    I am so frustrated with the whole situation. Please help a fellow bee out!

    I bought some cotton sateen sheets from overstock.com I absolutey love. Occassionally, they come back into stock: http://www.overstock.com/Home-Garden/Cottonova-Egyptian-Cotton-410-Thread-Count-Sheet-Set/4662028/product.html

    I bought three sets and have only used the one over a three month period. I wash our sheets once (sometimes twice if i'm real anal)  a week and haven't had a problem with pilling.

    I would suggest the hotel collection sheets.  We got ours off our registry at Macy's.  They are super expensive but usually Macy's will have a good sale on them.  We have been using them pretty frequently since our wedding in March and they have held up really well to washing. And they are sooooo soft.

    We got some nice Chaps ones (700 thread count Egyptian cotton) from Kohl's for like 70 bucks. I love them!

    We have a set from Target that we really enjoy.  They are 450 TC Fieldcrest Luxury.  They just say 100% cotton.  For under $100 for a set of King sheets we have been REALLY happy with these.  We've had them for about 4 months.

    We're all about the Brian Gluckstein sheets from The Bay. They're all we've used for the last several years and have never experienced any pilling.

    We had a set on our queen that lasted for about 4 years (until DH's restless legs made them too threadbare) including weekly washing/drying. Then for the wedding we got some new BG ones that are absolutely lovely (400 or 450 t.c., I think). We've only been using them for about 6 weeks, but absolutely no signs of pilling yet.

    We are also upgrading to a king (getting delivered tomorrow...can't wait!) and I just picked up some BG "Luxe" 600 t.c. sheets. They're on sale right now...I think 25% off, and then if you were registered at The Bay you can use your completion discount to get an extra 10% off.
