Expert Guesses Cheap vs. Expensive Bed Sheets | Price Points: Home | Architectural Digest

In this episode of 'Price Points: Home', Bedding expert and Founder of Buffy.co Leo Wang guesses which one of two bed sheets is more expensive. For each round of bed sheets, Leo looks at material (fabrics like cotton, silk, satin, etc), thread count, and weave, before guessing which set of bed sheets costs more. Once the prices are revealed, Wang explains why a specific set of bed sheets costs more and how to make the different bed sheets. Furnished by Feather, France & Son.

[@lattice737]

Instantly, I can tell that his voice has a higher thread count, with a smooth timbre and a lotion like flow through my ears. It also sounds like it may have a higher quality cotton, with soft stops and round inflections. I think I would be more comfortable with his speech, having a percale weave vocabulary and long fibered sentences.

Leo, if this bedsheet business doesn't work out for you, might I suggest lending your voice to audio books. Or, really, lending your voice to anything.

[@alanc6468]

Wow, this video deserves way more attention. The host was smooth, charming and incredibly knowledgeable. He was tested on fabrics that weren't all crazy differentials like what Epicurious pumps out. I actually feel informed and not just intrigued by what I watched. Good job AD.

[@dukewheeler7846]

What do you mean “no crazy differentials” there was over $1000 price difference on one comparison

[@JemimaDoesASMR]

I feel like maybe he meant there was only one real point of comparison on each set, e.g thread count, weave, material, rather than a combination of them.

[@MilwaukeeWoman]

My favorite sheets were 300 thread count cotton. I had higher before and they were so tightly woven that they didn't breathe even though they were cotton. I hated them, they might as well have been plastic bags they were so sweaty. My favorite set cost $50 at Home Goods. If I spent $300 on sheets I wouldn't be able to sleep at night!

They do have some options down in that relm but when you get to their 600tc an up jacquard sets they range well over the 1500$ mark. My family is in the manufacturing of fine Italian linens as well and we have a single sheet that sells for 1579$ per sheets and that is at wholesale price, in a retail setting they should sell for about 3500$ per sheet.

lmaooo

[@saysoun752]

@@BrooklynBoy206 Because 300 thread count is just fine and won't blow most people's budget.

[@screamtoasigh9984]

@@saysoun752 It depends on the sheets. I just ripped my favorite sheets, after 7 years (accidentally cut them on the edge of something while moving my bed, It wasn't from use). They kept their colour (duck egg blue) and are crazy soft, and created to have less wrinkles without chemical addictive. They were $70 from QVC. I have two other sets. To me that's a bargain. I've spent way more and way less and it's still the best sheets it's ever had. And I'm rough on using them and washing them (I'm bad at following the instructions). So it depends on the quality, but yeah after 600 count sheets I'm not going back to 300. I personally find only bamboo is ok at 300, and it's not my favorite feel.

No wonder his voice and calm nature are so evident. He probably slept in silk all his life, being that his family is in the bedding business. He was so informative, articulate and passionate about bedding that it caused me envision myself selling bedsheets as a sale representative. Got me thinking how successful I could be. The school system needs lessons from great content creators.

[@DanielaRodriguez-vb3mt]

We used to manufacture high quality sheets here too. Dominion Textile, Domtex, was one of the biggest manufacturers of bedding and it had 14,000 employees and factories in Canada, the United States, Ireland, France, Italy and Tunisia. A leader in a number of areas, it became the world's largest producer of denim. I still have some Wabasso sheets. Now it's gone, along with hundreds of thousands of other good manufacturing jobs. Free Trade wasn't Free.
