First off you’ve got to know what’s a bargain and what isn’t. Not all sheets are created equal, so to speak. There are different types of sheets and they come at different price levels. For now, forget about price differentials based on the size of your bed, and lets concentrate on the core differences that make one sheet inexpensive and another premium luxury price. Grasp the difference and you’ll know when you see a bargain and won’t be just bamboozled by a low quality product sold at a low price!
Generally the quality of waterbed sheets are determined by the type of fabric they are made from and then all shades of grey between are made up by the quality of each specific fabric. In the our case, looking from cheap to expensive fabrics, the low end starts from cotton/polyester mix sheets, then flannel or 100% cotton sheets followed by satin sheets (a cotton/silk mix) and onto the current high end fashion for bamboo mix sheets.
Each fabric type has its own unique qualities. Cotton/poly mix are hardwearing, durable and affordable, an admirable mix of characteristics making them best sellers. Flannel sheets are high on comfort factor, great in cold climes and just a little more discerning and this is obviously reflected in price. Satin sheets are not as hard wearing, but have glamarous qualities and are good in hotter climes, you pay for the glamour as always! Bamboo weaves, well, for all you enviromentally sensitive types these are right up your street, hard wearing, comfortable, renewable sources, all that jazz. Leave your wallet on the way out!
All the shades in between will generally be down to thread count, the higher the count the higher the perceived quality and the higher the bill. So you get the picture a bargain flannel sheet set may still be more expensive than a cotton/poly mix but it can still be a bargain compared to other flannel sheets on the market.
So where can you start finding these cheap priced linens? Well commonsense really. Where are you going to find a bargain? Perhaps a new store opening, a welcome sale so to speak? What about an end of season sale? Discontinued lines often offer great opportunities for the lowest prices. Alternatively research linen manufacturers on line and look for seconds, sheets that have minor imperfections.
With the internet available you can literally search the world over through waterbed suppliers and linen suppliers cross matching for the best prices. Internet prices are often the best you’ll get as suppliers need not have expensive showrooms to fund, just watch out for delivery prices and exchange rates if buying from overseas. Consider buying other waterbed accessories at the same time to get/qualify for a discounts on shipping.
