I put new sheets on my bed. I can't remember the thread count if it matters. Anyway,only on my side of the bed there are these little balls of fabric, kinda like lint balls they are not on the other side so it is something from me. I have washed them and they do not leave. I was wondering if anyone knows what might have caused it. I was thinking maybe because I had prickly new growth leg and arm hairs from shaving, or my lotion. My boyfriend felt it and thought it was funny but this has never happened with any other sheets and why only on my side?? I washed them before we put them on the bed and the next time I washed them they appeared on my side and seem to have gotten worse. It's just strange...

it is OK. they are lint balls - caused just by the friction of you lying there and turning over.
It is likely that theses sheets are all polyester or a poly-cotton blend.

Hi, Sheets with polyesther will do that. Don't worry, it's not you! Next time buy sheets that are 100% cotton. Not only will they wear better but they will feel softer and cooler while you sleep. Good Night! :)
Hi, This morning I'm editing this to add one thing: I found a web site that may help you to choose. :)

take a few of these little balls to a doctor for analysis. He can have them tested to determine if they are caused by a medical condition or something else. If you have washed the sheet and it was perfectly clean with no balls, and after one night they were there again, please have them checked as soon as possible.

well your body produces oils when you sleep and it could be causing the threads to wear away quickly nothing to worry about... It could just be the brand of sheets you got if they are 100% cotton its not crazy for something like that to happen..

You either bought cheap sheets, or washed them with something that shed, like a towel. I have never been able to repair sheets once that happened.

Maybe you move alot in your sleep causing you to use the fabric more?

It could be the detergent you are using.
