Are we not going to address the fact that satin is a weave and silk is a fiber?
God I hate satin bedware, like sleeping on a slidy mousepad, while covered.. in a slidy mousepad 😩
Puts pillowcase on pillow for the 9th time in the same night, puts pillowcase in wash and never takes it out of the cabinet again. Maybe I move around to much, but who thought a material that slips off the pillow would be a good idea. (Apparently whichever family member that got them for my spouse for a Christmas present).
High thread count cotton is where it's at. Crisp.
So I've had to sets of Egyptian cotton bedsheets that I've absolutely loved. Then I've had 2 sets of Egyptian cotton bedsheets that were so fucking coarse. Thread counts were supposedily the same... Any idea why that would be?
Exactly. One of the first things I (naively) did as an "adult" after leaving uni was indulge in a set of (discounted) leopard print satin sheets for my brand new adult bed. The novelty very quickly evaporated as the pillows shot out from under my head and the flat sheet levitated itself to the floor within 15 minutes of sliding down to attempt a slumber.
Hard agree
I'll take neither. Blech. I'm a cotton man.
"Eye... Warship... Satin?"
(If anyone can actually remember the name of that movie, please tell me; I've been wanting to see it again but don't remember what it was called)
Satin is more affordable than silk
Rayon is pretty affordable. Admittedly I don't think I have rayon bedsheets. I'm drawing off a recent dive in a semi-organic fabric rabbit hole.
Me, I'm partial for a good pair of lenin trousers in the summer.
Viscose bamboo is the way
You can have silk satin (if you're rich).
Idk that pentagram looks like the tip is north facing. These Satanist Apprentices must be from the first year class.
If it's not wool then gtfo.
