i don't know too much about the other lines folks are talking about.
i just spent way too much money on sheets, pillows, and a comforter.
i bought bella notte white madera sheets, pillow cases, and duvet cover. they are literally the softest sheets i have ever felt.
i also bought two bella notte linen pillow cases in a gray to change things up a little.
they are made in california which is a plus for me.
*all of the pictures that show bella notte show very shabby chic looks, but you can get plain, without all the fizzle, for lack of a more appropriate word.
then, the task of finding the right pillows and comforter. i went with scandia. they have a lifetime warranty, and every two years, you bring them in and they are sent to the scandia factory to make sure they are holding up. they also come with great packaging.
http://bellanottelinens.com/ --- they do go on sale, but usually around twice a year.

note: this is coming from someone who spent sums of money on clothes, and currently have $5 target pillows. i am waiting until the rest of my order is in store before i "remake the bed".
now, all the i need is a new bed!!!!
hope this helps.
