Bonnie Posted November 16, 2015 Share Posted November 16, 2015 I hate to lower the quality of discussions here, but there is a category for help findings things. I can rough it with the best of them, but two things I find hard to do without are a hot shower and soft bedding. We solved the shower problem with an electric hot water heater in the master bath, but I'm having no luck with the bedding. The sheets we brought with us are gradually disintegrating, and the ones I have been able to buy here so far feel like they're made of new dish towels. And two "king size" blankets I've purchased here are noticeably smaller than those I brought from the States, resulting in nighttime tug o' wars. Has anyone had any luck finding high thread count sheets and true king size blankets? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JudyS Posted November 16, 2015 Share Posted November 16, 2015 Price Smart and DoIt Center have high thread count sheets that are very soft (300 or 350, don't remember),100% cotton, have deep pockets for thick mattresses, and are large enough. They are very nice. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bonnie, You definitely are not lowering the discussion quality. You have a valid question, and this is a good place for it. We appreciate your use of CL and hope you get answers that work for you.

Keith Woolford Posted November 16, 2015 Share Posted November 16, 2015 Certainly not convenient but one of the best places I've found to look for high quality sheets at good prices is Dorian's in Albrook Mall. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JoJo Posted November 17, 2015 Share Posted November 17, 2015 Bonnie, have you tried Conway in Plaza Terronal? I don't know that the king size blankets are as big, but they do have good quality sheets and other bed linens in my opinion. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

(Admittedly, they have grown softer with repeated laundering and the use of fabric softener.) The undersized blankets came from Pricesmart.

Carol Posted November 17, 2015 Share Posted November 17, 2015 Last year Price Smart had some very nice (over sized) Tommy Bahama light weight comforters. But of course I have not seen them again. The Importadora Americana stores in David often have Kohl and Macy brands of sheets. I bought some, and they are very nice, of course the down side it they are not sets and you have to mix and match.

But I found that you pretty much get what you pay for and bought a more expensive set and have been very satisfied with them. I have to admit that I opened them first and the sales lady didn't have a problem with it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jay Kay Posted December 17, 2015 Share Posted December 17, 2015 If you like smooth crisp sheets you need to look for percale on the label. I did find at Conway but had to read almost every label to find them finally. The girls there didnt know what i was talking abouf. I tried one set and went back to buy 2 more i like them so much. Label says Dobby Collection. Deep pocket, too.I think the set was around 40 bucks. Good luck. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
