Beauty is in the eye of the beholder, or in our case, the feeler, the sleeper, the bather. While we are reminded of good, better, best scenarios, are subjective, we continue to be asked for our list. You ask, we deliver!
Below, I will lay out for you, our consumer, what *most* consider to fall in the good, better, and best categories.
I'll start with the general statement that you can never go wrong with our Millennium line. It offers 200, 250, and 300 thread counts. It has been an award-winning product for years. It’s available in white, ecru, and striped. I will not include it below because this brand covers all of them. It is our tried-and-true workhorse brand that delivers in all categories for any purpose.
Concerned that a 300 thread count is too low to be considered the “best” or put in a luxury property? The construction of the fibers and the finish matter just as much as the thread count in determining sheet quality, so YES, THE Martex® Millennium 300 sheets qualify as luxury.
Let’s begin with the GOOD.
It took us years to perfect this category, but once we did, they took off. Martex® Simplicity and Martex® Classic are your entry-level options with excellent durability. They have a lower thread count, but as mentioned previously, fiber construction and finish are crucial. These brands feel like higher thread counts because of how they are constructed and finished. Looking for color and affordability? Martex® Colors works with all color palettes and offers outstanding color retention with Staybright® technology. For microfiber enthusiasts, Martex® Ultra Touch is the top choice. These products are ideal for rentals and are also frequently purchased for group living settings such as camps, rehabs, and academies.
Moving on to the BETTER.
We have some really great sustainable offerings in this category. Martex® Green and Martex® DryFast are two of our most sustainable brands. While both include DryFast® technology, saving properties up to 30% time in the dryer and increasing ROI, Martex® Green is comprised of sustainable cotton and recycled polyester. Patrican® Sheet Collection is an upscale stripe that fits beautifully in this category. Perfect for assisted living or any scale rental properties or laundries.
Finally, the BEST.
For those wanting 100% cotton sheets, the Five Star Hotel Collection is the hands-down favorite. This brand also has DryFast® Technology, making it a sustainable choice. If you are looking for luxury microfiber, the Martex® Ultra Touch Suites Sheets are a higher GSM (120), making them feel heavier and more substantial. Great for colder climates. And, last but not least, the Gryphon Sheet Collection- long-staple Supima® cotton rich with a bit of polyester to help with wrinkling. The height of luxury!
