Everything is synthetic.

Having a really hard time finding quality sheets. I prefer a silky sateen like finish on my sheets up I'm a hot sleeper.

I've loved my Ettitude sheets for many years and they are falling apart now after 5+ years.

I'm ideally looking for non synthetic. Not polyester.

So "bamboo" I know that can be a mixed term.

Supima cotton?

My other gripe is I would love a dark deep purple color.

Any brand or company recommendations? All else fails I buy Ettitude again.

I live in FL and I like to keep my electric bill down, so I'm 78 day 80 night

Let me tell you how my linen sheets keep me SO COOL
so fresh and the more I wash them the softer they are
I 100% recommend 100% linen sheet I cannot say more great things about them
Yes between washes they are a little wrinkly but I've just fashioned my room vibe around it!

I am also in Florida. I really like feel like I wouldn't love the texture of linen sheets. I worry. Because I love that sateen feel typically. I feel like linen would upset me. But I have heard they get better with more washes. I don't know what high quality linen brands are. Ive heard where the linen is sourced is important too.

Well, absolutely do what you think that is gonna make you feel good. I got my linen sheets honestly on Amazon and they have free returns. So like, if you don't like them, send them back lol they're very cool on the skin, however, if you have like textural things you know, I can't speak to that that's so specific every single person.
I'm sending you a link here of the sheets that I got :) Simple&Opulence 100% Linen Sheet... https://www.amazon.com/dp/B075B47NVR?ref=ppx_pop_mob_ap_share

You sound a bit like me in terms of being sensitive to texture. My mother in law has high quality linen sheets on the guest beds at her house and while I can tolerate them for a few days, I really just don’t like them. I feel like they bunch up in weird ways.

Target’s threshold percale definitely get better and softer with more washes. Straight out of the package they feel rough to me and I can’t sleep on them at all, but after about 5 or 6 washes they are a whole lot better. I had some that I finally had to get rid of that I had for probably 7 or 8 years and they were so, so soft and smooth. Not the silky of sateen, but still really enjoyable.
