<p>A thought about printing on knit (jersey) sheets: I don’t know if it is universally true, but often the printing sort of sits on top of the knit in a way that makes the texture odd. Now, the way I tried to describe that is odd, too! I hope you get my meaning.</p>
<p>The Linens N’ Things flyer in today’s paper has a sale on XLong twin jersey sheets and also Christmas Tree Shops if you have one nearby.</p>
<p>Linens n Things actaully had a large selection of jersey.</p>
<p>
Where did you find those? I’ve been looking everywhere for powder Tide, but all I can find is the 2x concentrated liquid Tide.</p>
<p>DD loved these Dropps individual packets that dissolve in the wash. </p>

<p>I like Garnet Hill myself…they have an x-long twin section online, in several different fabrics including jersey:</p>

<p>stripes! yarn died, so no printing!</p>

<p>Oh, patient already mentioned Garnet Hill.</p>
<p>Thanks for all the tips. We’re well aware of all the nuances of jersey sheets (as in the strtched-out shapes and the weird foldings), since D has always had them on her bed. I didn’t think about the possibility of using regular-sized twins on her dorm bed, though - that’s a good idea.</p>
<p>Well, we’ve got one set, and I’m seriously leaning towards the Company Store for a second set. (Loved the ones from Garnet Hill - but H balked at the price!)</p>
<p>scout59 ~ take a look at this [Boscov’s</a> Online - Your Full Service Department Store](<a href=“http://www.boscovs.com/StoreFrontWeb/ProductSearchResults.bos?storeId=10001&langId=-1&noResultsUrl=StoreDirectoryView&clearClickHist=Y&searchText=jersey+knit+sheets]Boscov’s”>http://www.boscovs.com/StoreFrontWeb/ProductSearchResults.bos?storeId=10001&langId=-1&noResultsUrl=StoreDirectoryView&clearClickHist=Y&searchText=jersey+knit+sheets) Nice selection of prints and you can’t beat the price! Unfortunately for me, S didn’t like any of them. I officially give up!</p>
<p>XL twin only 6 inches longer than regular twin…so our experience is regular twin works fine.</p>
<p>Our Jersey knit beach? sheets from BBB got holes in them after 1 year…dissappointing. And these were our home sheets, so no commercial washing machines.</p>
<p>^^I guess son did not wash his BBB beech sheets all that often! :rolleyes:</p>
<p>Funny…Don’t think that most boys do laundry as aften as the women and this continues into adulthood!</p>
<p>Just noticed this thread…saw lots of patterned, jersey, extra-long sheets at Home Goods this weekend (spin-off store from Marshall’s on the east coast & (maybe?) elsewhere).</p>
