Sleeping Pretty: Finding the Right Satin Sheets

If you’re looking for original satin sheets that you know you won’t find in the stores, you’ll want to know about smaller stores that you can order satin sheets from—preferably at discount prices. Here are a couple sites and stores to purchase satin sheets from, as well as some tips on how to create satin sheets yourself.
www.ewaterbeds.com has a great selection of satin sheets in a variety of colors and sizes. You can find the colors you want online, or request a color if you don’t see what you like. You can also purchase satin sheets with special pleated bed skirt designs, and there are sheet sets for almost any size bed. Sheet sets are no more than $200 no matter the size, so you can expect to spend about $275 at the most (including taxes and shipping). It’s a good idea to visit the site often, so that you can find out about discounts and specials for satin sheets, as well as waterbeds if you are thinking about purchasing one.

Online shopping sites like www.overstock.com and www.shopzilla.com also have satin sheets at a discount prices, so if you’re looking for satin sheets, you may want to check the sites often to see if any new products have come in, and to buy the sheets you want before it’s too late. The satin sheet sets on these sites are usually name-brand as well, so you can be sure that you’ll get a quality product, even though you’re not paying a fortune.

If you’re making your own satin sheets, you’ll want to ask someone at your favorite fabric store, or a professional seamstress for tips on how to cut and sew the fabric correctly. Satin sheets are not all that difficult to make, since there are not too many intricate cuts—the trick is making sure you don’t make too many cuts in the fabric, and making sure that the piece you choose is large enough for your bed. You may even want to pair up your sheets with additional colors for trimming at the top of your sheets and pillowcases. You may even be able to find satin at fabric warehouses—you’ll be able to get more for your money, and you can use the extra fabric to create other satin accents for your home, such as seat covers and curtains. For satin fabric varieties, visit JoAnn Fabrics (www.joann.com) or your local fabric store.
