Need recommendation on sheets for STR

[Kurt Baltutat]

New to the STR space. We just purchased Walmart's high-end cotton sheets. Came out of the dryer with wrinkles on every square inch. Looks bad. My better half tried to iron them but did not work so well and we sure as heck aren't going to do that every time. Suggestions for these sheets? Recommendations on better ones to use?

Hey @Kurt Baltutat. We use Kohl's Big One 275tc 70/30 cotton/poly sheets. they are percale weave, not sateen. I would avoid sateen weave due to pilling and overall they are less durable.

We are still using the first sets of these sheets we bought in 2017. We have 8 sets for queens and 6 for the king. Like @John Underwood said, get extras when they are on sale.

I find these sheets very durable, they look great and don't wrinkle much. Now, I wouldn't go nutz about wrinkles. Sheets will do it, pillow cases will do it. Unless you have a 2k a night rental, people aren't going to complain about a few wrinkles on the sheets.

They key is the blend. Pure cotton is nice, but it doesn't wear very well and wrinkles. Microfiber just plain sucks IMHO. The majority cotton with some poly works perfectly. A 80/20 or 65/35 is OK as well.
