I am looking for some comfortable bed sheets. Nothing too pricey, just comfortable. The sheets that I bought at Carrefour are itchy and awful! Does anyone know of a store with good quality/good priced linens? I particularly like jersey sheets but I am not even going to hope that they are sold around here. Thank you!

Carrefour, Lulu, Geant etc usually sell polyester/cotton mix sheets which I find uncomfortable.

I prefer 100% cotton. Ikea are good value, try also Home Center (I think), but for better quality, try one of the specialist shops in a big shopping center.

I saw Geant were advertising 100% cotton sheets not so long ago.

I looked at the Home Centre website and I don't see that they sell sheets. I may be wrong though. When you say "shopping center" do you mean "mall"? I have been to Ibn Battuta and Mall of the Emirates and I have not found any good sheets there.

Also, the sheets I originally bought were from IKEA, but those were worse than the ones I found at Carrefour. I am looking for more than just 100% cotton... preferably something with a high thread count and Egyptian cotton.

If you have no idea where to find these things no big deal. I will have to search more I suppose. I have googled all the possible word combinations I could think of looking for a place that sells these kinds of sheets in Dubai, no such luck.

Yes .

Oh. I thought you only saw them in movies .

There was a shop in Deira City Center, above where IKEA used to be, that sold expensive sheets.

"The One" in Jumeirah might have something. Marks & Spencer in the Wafi? Wafi and BurJaman have more expensive shops, might be worth a look.

Thanks! I am embarking on my sheet expedition tomorrow. Wish me luck.

Debenhams in MOE and Ibn Battuta sell Sheridan Bed Sheets. They are a bit exxy but top quality. Maybe 350dhs a set?

Oh great! I have never heard of Sheridan but I looked them up online and they seem like exactly what I am looking for. Thank you.

You guys are very helpful. I've bought 2 different sets of sheets previously only to feel itchy when I am going to sleep.

Hey now. Don't go insulting my hygiene! That's not very nice. And no, it's not lack of showers... of course the water here is awful but that's another topic (that I've posted in because finding a freakin shower filter here is not easy).

I have always used either Egyptian Cotton sheets or Jersey sheets both of which are very soft and comfortable. So, to use the scratchy sheets that I bought at Geant and IKEA isn't really working for me. Call me spoiled... but we are all spoiled on some level compared to the majority of the global population.
