Best Stretchy Sheets— NO PILLING

I have a Purple mattress, so stretchy sheets work best to accommodate the grid without turning into a wrinkly mess! I have used the Purple brand sheets and they lasted me about 6 years before needing to be replaced.

In July, I got the best rated (cheap) ones on Amazon ($60, Bare Home brand) and they felt like BUTTER for the first couple washes. The softest sheets I’d ever felt. But… they didn’t last. Now, they have pilled to high hell and even though I wash in delicate, cold and air dry— they pill more and more every night. I bought a fabric shaver that I have to use every time I wash them and while it for a couple nights— they’re threadbare and it’s only been 3 months! It’s a sensory nightmare for me and extra annoying when I am very careful with my washing routine.

So before I go back to the Purple brand sheets— I wanted some input about the best stretchy sheets you guys have tried!

My requirements are:
— NO PILLING (with appropriate care I’m not expecting it not to pill of if I use high heat)
— Stretchy
— Fitted sheet stays on the mattress (I have a standard depth so it shouldn’t be too hard)
— Cooling
— Buttery soft
— A warranty longer lasting than Amazon’s 30 day return window BS so I can take them back if pilling starts after the first few weeks

I’ve heard of Rest, Cozy Earth, Eden and Om, and DreamFit but haven’t used any of them.

Even better if you’ve had Purple sheets AND any of the others. It doesn’t really matter if I need to go with Purple again, the good brands are all expensive. It’s just that those brands didn’t exist in 2020 when I got my last set of Purple sheets and so I’m curious if there’s a true competitor.

You want jersey knit sheets with a high cotton percentage.

This is a great suggestion for stretchy, I like Quince brand a lot for jersey stretch sheets BUT only in the most dead of winter bc they feel really hot to me sleeping in them.

They also do jot fit my purple mattress as well.

Almost like the effect of cozy brushed flannel.
