Boll and Branch sheets
 
Has anyone purchased their sheets? Worth the money?

Nucky 04-24-2019 07:32 AM

We are expecting our Boll & Branch Delivery on this coming Friday. We tried The Mr. Pillow Sheets first, they are OK but not great. Mr. Pillow is also half the price.

We have friends who are as tight as a crabs butt and twice as waterproof and Boll & Branch is all they own and swear by them. So I'll let you know. They have to be great because the order came from a great part of N.J.

I skimmed over the title quickly, and thought it said something about boiling your sheets.:faint:

Kenswing 04-24-2019 08:31 PM

Wow.. Just looked on Amazon at these sheets.. $260 for Cal King. Do they do anything special? They don't need batteries do they? lol

DangeloInspections 04-24-2019 08:37 PM

Rush Limbaugh advertises these sheets and has a discount code...if you do not listen to him you may find it on his website....

Are they cool and crisp? Are they returnable? I dislike smooth sheets or the no-iron sheets. They're too hot.

I'll let you know in a couple of days CFrance. Obviously, the ones I have now are broken because I can't sleep....I have NOTHING on my mind! 30-day return policy. I think we got $50 off and free delivery. :pray:

Given the amount of time of ones life is spent in bed, there are two things (to me)...where price becomes secondary.

That being the mattress...and the bed sheets/pillow cases.

While the Boll & Branch ones we've owned are very nice and hard to beat, we've found that overall...we prefer the 100% Egyptian Cotton from Mayfair Linen (#13 in the link).

The biggest thing we love about them, especially living in Florida and me being a 'furnace'...is their awesome breathability. :thumbup:

That they are also relatively reasonably priced, which not having to pay high-priced spokespersons probably helps in that regard...makes them a great buy in my book. :cool:


Everything you wanted to know about bed sheets...AND more. (poke here) :D



I also like their return policy, which thankfully...we've never had to use.

Thank you. Kind of overwhelmed but this surely helps.

We have had them for 3 years and love them. Buy when on sale and worth the money.

Nucky 04-26-2019 08:11 AM

They just showed up. Have to run them through the Washer first to get all the N.J. Chromosomes off of them and then I'll be Testing them for our TOTV'S family!

NotGolfer 04-26-2019 01:49 PM

I miss the Percale sheets I grew up with and also used when we first were starting out. NOW can't find any that are comparable since textiles have been out-sourced.

I laughed out loud at the person who asked if they required a battery or did anything special. I'll check out what everyone is recommending!!!

I miss the Percale sheets Oh, me too. Used to get mine in Marshalls for next to nothing.

Midnight Cowgirl 04-26-2019 05:26 PM

I see many comments about different types of sheets and specifically, Boll and Branch sheets are mentioned, but no one has mentioned Bamboo sheets.
They are cooler in the summer and warmer in the winter.

They are a "green product," softer than 1,000 Egyptian cotton, naturally odor resistant, hypoallergenic. They are not inexpensive, but Boll and Branch probably wins the prize for being up there price-wise.

I'm surprised no one has mentioned and are aware of Bamboo sheets. One caveat, however. Do not ever buy them as a bamboo blend. They must be 100% bamboo and they are simply wonderful.

Thanks for your review on this. I was looking at sheets recently and wondered about them. It also appears as if they are wrinkle-resistant. Do you find this to be the case?

We are on the cusp of our Domestic Research on The Bed Sheets.

1) Sams 800 thread, GARBAGE.

2) My Pillow, not too shabby and the price was around $100. Not too bad.

3) Forgot to start the washer before so a delay on The Boll & Branch
Test. I looked thru the Beautiful Box they were delivered in and for the life of me, I couldn't find any BATTERIES included. Not even out of the dryer yet and the first report is they are badly wrinkled. Ut Oh!

In NOTHING but my defense, I am sorta Technologically Challenged and our Washing Machine can be turned on by Cell Phone. Why this is necessary is beyond me. Unless its for a bonehead who forgets to start the Washer and realizes it when HE (Me) get to the Square. I also put a Camera on the Garage door so I can check to see if its closed when I can't remember if I did it. Back to the Sheets. Thanks, CowGirl. These better pass Mrs. Nucky From Consumer Reports.

I have two sets and not made by the same company. I think being wrinkle resistant has to do with the depth of your mattress and the depth of the contour sheet itself.

I don't care what they look like when I fold them. But I am very happy once they are on the bed. Yes, they are smooth as silk.

pooh 04-26-2019 06:52 PM

Dream Fit Sheets are wonderful, not quite as expensive, but not inexpensive. Bought my first set from Flobeds...the most comfortable bed we’ve ever owned. Dreamfit sheets come in Pima cotton, Egyptian cotton or Tencel.

The Boll And Branch Sheets get the Mrs. Nucky Seal of Approval. That's after only One Night. I've been trying to get the same Seal Of Approval for over 20 Years. Once on the bed, wrinkle-free, the sheets also and they are cool and way different than anything I've ever slept on before. The price all in with an extra set of Pillow Cases was $262. They had a special $50 off on the day we purchased.

The order was due on Monday and instead, we slept on them on Friday Night. Underpromise & Overdeliver. 4 Thumbs Up!

asianthree 04-27-2019 05:05 AM

We have been buying Comfort Zone sheets for couple of years. No iron (I don’t remember my mom ever ironing them, and no batteries needed).
Every time we have company always ask what brand. Even the boys noticed them, so that in itself is a great review. I buy online.

I'm with you with buying Online for most stuff.

To answer the OP, These Sheets are an absolute GO! Definitely worth the money! You will not be disappointed. Can't take it $$ With Us $$.
Not all of it. :mademyday:

Villageswimmer 04-27-2019 03:39 PM

Ok. I just ordered a set. Has anyone purchased one of their beautiful blankets? I’m very tempted!

For those of you who say you miss percale sheets, what you have been buying for many years now IS percale.

Why the name/word percale has vanished from the face of the earth, I don't know. :shrug:

When the name/word percale vanished from the face of the earth . . . . . Well, I don't know that either! :shrug:

Percale is simply a type of weave of over 180 threads per inch.
Now, with that knowledge, everyone should be feeling and sleeping better!

Thank you Midnight. I know I will now sleep like a baby with this information. LOL

Nucky 04-28-2019 10:08 AM

Great info Midnight Cow. It almost seems like I feel I know you already. The style of writing and the thoughfulness of increasing the size of certain words is very helpful in your post's. Thank's for your kind assistance. Percale, before my time I guess, I'll check it out. Welcome.

Do people really iron their sheets?

Back in the late 1940s and early 1950's my mother used a large mangle to iron sheets. I think she stopped when permanent press or the like came out. All I remember is the mangle disappeared one day. It was much longer than the one in this video, or at least seemed so to me.

My mother had one of those. She did all our sheets, underwear, and my father's work shirts. It also looked bigger than the one on your video. And I too don't know what happened to it. Also, I always thought "mangle" was a funny name for something that irons things flat.

Velvet 04-28-2019 06:05 PM

My bamboo sheets could use a mangle. But I got a Miele drier instead with a steam dry function. The sheets come out dry but not over dry and not so wrinkled, like what a cloth steamer would do.

rexxfan 04-28-2019 06:38 PM

We have a set. They are very soft and get softer every time they're washed. Very comfortable. Maybe we're not following the laundering instructions carefully enough, but they come out of the dryer pretty wrinkled (although once back on the bed and smoothed out, most of the wrinkles are gone).

If you are old enough to live here you've probably slept on percale sheets unless your mother bought Muslim sheets (ouch!).

No, we don't know one another. My style of writing? Not sure what you mean by "style???" As for being thoughtful, TOTV's regular font is so small. Maybe by making it larger, you won't have to put on your readers!

Midnight Cowgirl 04-28-2019 10:15 PM

I hate to upset many of you who have purchased the Boll and Branch sheets directly from them.
If you go on eBay, you can find a set of king size sheets for $140.00 including shipping and no tax.

starflyte1 04-29-2019 06:39 PM

I hesitate to buy many name brand items on EBay because I think many are knock offs. Especially expensive hair care and skin care products. You

I called Boll & Branch today about this issue. They are aware of the price difference and I believe they know the answer why the Ebay product is cheaper but as any good company should do they wouldn't say a peep about Ebay. More or less they said find out for yourself.

Now I tried Ebay and got zip, zero, zilch. That's it that's the price the person selling has no complaints and they didn't seem to care.

I'm going to pay the freight for the real deal from Jersey. Just ordered another set. For the guest room. (Over My Dead Body) The guest gets the Mr. Pillow Sheets. End of story Period. That's if my wife says it's OK! :1rotfl::1rotfl:

Proslayer 04-29-2019 09:28 PM

100% yes. The best sheets I've ever had. Changes sleep time!!

I've been buying and selling on eBay for over 20 years. Knockoffs are illegal and eBay does a pretty good job of deleting those type of listings and getting rid of the sellers who try to sell their bogus items.

In all my years' experience, having made thousands of purchases, I have never purchased an item that was not as it was purported to be. In addition, eBay stands up for buyers who have an issue with a seller and the buyer will always get their money back when the seller is wrong.

What kind of problem have you had or is this just a supposition on your part???
