Grand Hotel bed linen set, queen size, $171
What 100 percent Egyptian-cotton percale bed linens, 200 thread count.
Units Sold 150 last month; 45 last week.
Why “A lot of people who come into the store say, I went to Europe and had these great sheets in the hotel, and the nicer hotels in Italy use these sheets,” says owner Bob Levy. “You can play the thread-count game, but it’s pretty meaningless—the type of cotton is more important. A low thread count in an Egyptian cotton is going to feel softer and last longer than a 1,000 thread count in Chinese cotton.”
