First you need to learn something and that is thread count the higher the count the better the sheets for example I only buy 600 thread count of Egyptian cotton they cost around $90.00 per set and that is cheap because they would normally cost around $125.00. The most expensive sheets I have ever purchased was 100 count and they cost me $400.00 and worth every penny they are softer then silk . So to your answer cotton or silk cotton but the higher the thread count the better the sheets.

I can't stand silk sheets. They slip off the bed all the time, and you can't keep the pillows from falling off.
Get a fine thread cotton. It's just as luxurious, but you don't have sheets that don't say on the mattress, or a top sheet that slips on the floor overnight. Plus silk wrinkles a lot too. Stains are easy to show up.

Go get some nice Egyptian cotton sheets with a high thread count. I personally hate the feel of silk. In my opinion it's a waste of money.

I am a huge good 'ol fashion cotton lover. I've tried silk and I've tried other things like flannel or t-shirt material, and I hate them all. I would recommend sticking to the good 'ol fashioned cotton sheets, but get a really high thread count if you're going to splurge and want the really comfy ones. Good luck!

I personally don't like silk sheets. It seems like a good idea but the reality is that you spend most of the night pulling them up because they keep slipping off of the bed. My personal favorite as far as sheets go are the "Jersey Knit" (or T-Shirt) sheets. They are extra soft and comfy! (not to mention a whole lot cheaper than silk) :)

cant say so, though i'd still prefer using cotton. silk is way too down the barrel in terms of comfort. if you're done with the cotton sheets, try some new colours, more vibrant perhaps. see if that cheers you up.

Well, I think silk sheets are colder in the winter. They are overpriced too. We all sweat too and cotton is best to have when this happens. My choice would be cotton, all the way.

If you buy silk sheets, make sure they are machine washable. Some are hand wash only. Also, even if they're machine washable, you have to use mild soap, cool water, and the gentle cycle. You can put them in the dryer, but if you over-dry them they'll be ruined.
Surprisingly, they don't wrinkle too much if you take them out of the dryer promptly. And they're very comfortable.

Silk sheets are takcy and they are not comfy. Plus they are a pain to clean. Don't do it! If you feel the need for silk, buy some boxers.
