So, I just had the radio on and heard an ad for Boll and Branch sheets and I have a few questions for anyone who owns them. I have a queen size bed and the first set I looked at were $240. The info said 300 thread count. Maybe because I never had a set of sheets that expensive, I just don't understand what makes them worth so much more.
It sounds like I am paying for the box, which sounds nice but generally speaking, if I am buying something for myself, I don't need fancy boxing. I thought the conventional wisdom was the higher the thread count the better the sheet and their website says something about the length of the thread.
So if you own a set of them, can you please tell us about them. Were they a gift or a splurge? Were you delighted enough with them to buy them again? Do they wrinkle like mad?
I will never spend that much on a sheet set, but I really want to hear from others how they feel. TIA
I have a set (full) that I received as a gift. They're really nice and not dissimilar to an ancient inherited set that I use to make up one of my guest beds. When line dried, they're especially nice. Crisp, yet soft, if that makes any sense.
I either fold or put my sheets back on the bed immediately after drying, so I've not noticed any excessive wrinkling. Most of my laundry is line-dried, though, which helps to prevent wrinkles, so I'm not sure how badly the sheets would wrinkle if left in the washer or dryer for an extended period of time.

Not no; but Hell No!
Not paying that for a set of SHEETS! I was born at night, but it wasn’t last night!
They just pandering to those that think cotton is better if it is grown organically, has not been unethically obtained (whatever the Hell that means), has not been exposed to chemicals, and on, and on, and on...
...is it possible that most would not know or feel the difference? And isn’t that the top criteria?
I own a set. They are terrific! You will be pleased . Mega dittos!
Once again. I am not in the market for $200 plus sheets. I was just trying to determine why they were worth so much more. I am a pretty simple gal. Never had or wanted the best, but always wanted the best for “me”.

Second that. Very few products advertised on the radio or even via programs I like (YouTube) are anything worthwhile, it's just clever marketing.
I have never bought Boll and Branch, and never will unless they have clearance, and even then I'll look at it carefully first.
I buy a sheet set (queen) yearly or every couple from Amazon. Lookup "best sheets" online and back it out from there. I have no complaints and haven't spent more than $79/set, for niiiiiice stuff: I like Egyption Cotton, 600 thread count. There are many options.
$240 a set is (you-know-what), tugging on the heartstrings.
Never heard of them and never bought sheets in my life pete. I still got the same 1's from 2010.
