Actually I just found out that Kmart/Martha has high thread count Egyptian cotton stuff, too.
kmart.com

It's segmentizing -- is that a word?

I guess you've heard the segments for Target -- middle class is just plain old Target, upscale is Tar-jay, and downscale is Targhetto. I didn't make any of this up.

I love high thread count- and I also buy pillow cases which button, so the pillows never come out. We enjoy our sheets so much,

At those prices, how can you get any sleep? <ggg>

It is at the point where you have to calculate an ROI.

I haven't bought any sheets since before they started the thread count wars. The last time I bought sheets the choice was between muslin and percale. Those things last forever.

The last time I bought sheets you could buy them one at a time, not just in sets. Sigh.
