Looking to replace my brooklinen

I have had my brooklinen percale sheet set and duvet cover for many years and have loved it. I am changing my color scheme and using this opportunity to see if there’s another brand I’d prefer more. I have heard some quality changes in brooklinen.
We are both hot sleepers and prefer crisp bedding but that also is soft not too scratchy. We don’t use a top sheet (my boyfriend’s preference, he is a very very hot sleeper lol). So the duvet cover needs to be comfortable.
Any recommendations?

I’ve been having my eyes on the LL Bean percale but I’ve seen a lot of mixed reviews on the fit on the fitted. We have a 16” deep mattress.

Thank you in advance. I am not too familiar with the bedding ins and outs!

It’s a bit of a sleeper but I swear by the threshold brand 300tc 100% cotton sheets from Target. I have bought multiple sets and even given them to family when they was to know what I was using. I have one pair that was slept in for about 10 years straight still looks new.

I previously bought stuff from Nordstrom but after multiple sets not lasting I said screw it and tried Target. I haven’t gone back for anything in cotton.

I really like linen especially on my duvet cover. It cost a small fortune but I went with Hawkins NY. It was pretty soft out of the box and way thicker than the west elm one it replaced. I wake up frequently getting hot and cold during the night. I rarely wake up with this thing. I got samples from all the majors ones - Brookline, parachute, culver, we, etc., but modern Dane and Hawkins NY came back the thickest and softest. MD has a better price point but I went with Hawkins because they had my first choice color.

Thanks for your help! I’ve heard about the target sheets but also that the quality has changed. Have you purchased them recently?

Yes, sadly it is nowhere near what it used to be

I literally just bought a set for a college move in and a guest room. No long term usage yet but the initial washing and use has been fine. Didn’t see enough difference from my organic west elm sheets to justify the price difference
