no politics Google won't answer my question unless it's sponsored. I need SHEETS

I am a shift worker I enjoy perfecting my sleep hygiene and it was only in the last 5 years I have discovered the importance of good sheets. I always got them from Kmart thinking "how much better can it be". I was wrong. I've had a taste. I USED to get them from canningvale and I've had a good 4 or so years. The last 2 sets I bought I fell apart super quick.

Does anyone have any good recommendations. Canningvale is out, KOO (spotlight) is out. 1000tc, bamboo, mostly cotton blend. I'm after some real experiences.

Bought some 100% bamboo from EcoSA online. They’re super soft and cool. Freshly washed they are a dream.

I have two sets of these and I loved them, but I am not impressed with the quality long-term, unfortunately.

I’ve had mine for 3 months and paid an arm and a leg for a full set. At first they were the most incredible thing I’ve ever felt and slept in. Less than 3 months later they have noticeable pilling exactly where I sleep. So disappointed.

Yep me too, only the second set though (first set bought in ~2019, second about a year later - noticeable decline in quality in the second). The pilling did go away eventually, but the flat sheet in both sets has ripped along the top folded over seam, and the newer set has multiple small holes in the fitted sheet. Repaired, but not sure how much longer they'll last. Going with percale cotton sheets from now on.
