My favorite quilts are by Levtex. They are a bit pricey, but you can get them from Kohl's when they are on sale and you have a coupon. I have dogs, so I always buy two of everything. It makes laundry day a lot easier.

I also use only flannel sheets. They are 100% cotton and help in the winter AND the summer. They are by Cuddl Duds, also being sold by Kohl's. I only shop these items when they are on sale.

It’s always summer here in Florida sadly. No flannel for me. And yeah, for a price of $300+ I’d expect no less lol.

I keep hearing this too!! Cotten and linen are supposed to be the best fabrics for hot sleepers - thank you so much definitely going to do this. Any Cotten sheet suggestions? All the ones I’ve tried tend to wear out pretty quickly and get a ‘grimy’ feeling even with a once a week wash. Idk if that’s the right word, but hopefully that makes sense

I’ve got Cuddl Duds sheets from many years ago. Again, flannel isn’t just for winter. It’s very absorbent in the summer. Sometimes all you need are the sheets.

I believe you get what you pay for when it comes to bed linens. 🛌

I always use the search bar and put in 100 percent cotton when looking for anything.

Best wishes and good luck.

That grimy feeling might be some sort of build up from fabric softener if you use that in your weekly washes. The build up is like a waxy substance that might speed up discoloration and also prevent the fabric from breathing. Once I’ve stopped using that my clothes and sheets and towels seem to last longer.

For clothes I'd suggest trying out a hemp/cotton blend. Fell in love with that material and I don't think I can go back to pure cotton when i can help it
