how do i choose the best bed linens for me?

cotton vs.combed cotten,vs.egyption,vs.prima ect. thread count is over 450 any diffrence?how much diff. does sateen mean? I want soft sheets that arent stiff or ball up that are not that heavy.


It all depends on what feels best to you. Go to Linens N Things or Bed Bath & Beyond since they'll have samples. Usually, the higher the thread count, the softer and the more expensive. Sateen makes it more satin-like. Comped cotton feels more like a tee shirt than sheets.

Which is a better sheet Egyptian cotton or Sateen?

I want to buy some new sheets for my bed, and I want them to be VERY good. I don't which sheet is better Egyptian cotton or Sateen. I found 3 different sheet sets and don't know wich is better:

1. Luxury Sateen 1200 tc Combed Cotton Sheet Set $66.99

2. 1000 Thread Count Solid Egyptian Cotton Sheet Set. $99.99

3. 1000 Thread Count Egyptian Cotton Sheet Set. $149.99

What is the difference in these 3 different sheet sets. and which is a better sheet/deal? thank you in advance

btw, I found these sheets at overstock.com.


You must be thinking Satin. Sateen is different. Sateen IS cotton, it's just the type of weave. When you are looking for fine sheets you want Egyptian Cotton. Then what type of feel are you looking for? SATEEN is a smoother silkier feel; PERCALE is a crisper cooler sheet. The stuff that you listed is NOT good sheeting. If you want a 1000 thread count sheet set you will be looking to pay around $500-$1000. The ones you're looking at probably feel like cardboard! - Thread count is the amount of threads woven per square inch and should generally be 1-ply. A lot of companies market their product as 1000 thread count but it can be several plys, causing the sheets to feel thicker! Keep in mind that it will not breathe and be very hot in the summer. I would highly advise AGAINST buying the sheeting that you saw. Put it this way, if you buy FINE LINENS at a 200 thread count...it will last you longer then buying cheap 1000 thread count sheets. Sheets are an investment, if you buy good ones they will last you for over 15 years. You should have 3 sets of sheets-1 on the bed; 1 in the wash; and 1 in the drawer. Make sure you care for them properly too! Machine wash cold with maximum water. Only wash the flat sheet and cases in the first load, then wash the fitted by itself. If you wash it all together, everything will get wraped in the fitted sheet and become a wrinkly mess. Dry them on LOW heat. Make sure you're home to keep an eye on it. DONT overdry because you will fry the natural fibers.

"The Other" poem by Judith Ortiz Cofer opinions?

have anyone read this poem...
i would like ur opinions and how u took the poem to be about.


"The Other"
A sloe-eyed dark woman shadows me.
in the morning she sings
Spanish love songs in a high falsetto,
filling my shower stall
with echoes.
She is by my side
in front of the mirror as I slip
into my tailored skirt and she
into her red cotton dress.
She shakes out her black mane as I
run a comb through my closely cropped cap
her mouth is like a red bull's eye
daring me.
everywhere I go I must
make room for her; she crowds me
in elevators where others wonder
at all the space I need.
at night her weight tips my bed, and
it is her wild dreams that run rampant
through my head exhausting me. Her heartbeats,
like dozens of spiders carrying the poison
of her restlessness,
drag their countless legs
over my bare flesh.


I think she is haunted by the woman she is not.
"The Other" is the woman she secretly desires to be, but for realistic purposes either cannot be or won't allow herself to be.

Isn't it sad that this small list shows the full extent of Black American practical inventions?

It's so small it's laughable, i could count it on one hand

    I was very happy to find this kind of product Twin XL size. Why Twin XL beds is so difficult to find is beyond me. Now back to the review.

    I was very pleased with the design and the visual quality of this mattress satisfied. He corresponded on the mattress like a fitted sheet would, then we have a cover sheet placed on the block. The mattress of the bed is the special character-Pedic memory foam, which, unfortunately, the cost is about $ 2,000 for the mattress and a foam material, really sucks fluids. The cost of the mattress was appropriate and the mattress pad itself was soft and does not wrinkle sounds like plastic would.

    The first time, the older, more experienced urinary incontinence during the night by “accident” while he was asleep, and later was awake and informed me of the accident, I immediately went in his room at 3.00 clock and deprived of the sheet and mattress cover. I was very disappointed that the liquid had soaked the accident through the top sheet and mattress cover waterproof and quite a substantial part of wet foam mattress under the sheet and the “waterproof” mattress pad . I immediately pulled the bedding of the bed, the mattress, but could could not be used until I was clean and dry (a whole work day).
