Before getting engaged i had always admired these sateen, Egyptian Brushed cotton sheets. They were only sold in Myer stores in Aus as far as i know. Cost a FORTUNE even when they were on sale at %70 off, so you can imagine how expensive. But they are the most divine, Softest, smoothest sheets ever. Nothing compares so far. I cant remember the thread count. It was back about 13 years when no-one knew what that meant. Still so amazing to sleep on.
