Have you tried microfiber sheets?

Jan 26, 2013 4:45 PM

Regularly, Microfiber sheets are advertised in sponsored deals and are down-voted badly. I down vote them because "Scammy the sheet merchant" uses phrases like "1600tc" and "Egyptian comfort" in an attempt to fool the buyers into thinking that they are really good cotton sheets. They aren't. What they are however, are decent enough sheets, they hold up just fine, they don't stain, and are comfortable enough unless you are really picky about that sort of thing and they are quite reasonable.

I suspect that if they tried to sell those sheets here without the trickery they might not end up at the bottom of the list. I wouldn't down vote them, Would you?

I bought microfiber sheets from another deal site (daily steals maybe). They were cheap (both in price and quality) and had holes in them within a few days. I didn't really feel ripped-off since they were so inexpensive. I guess it was just one of those "you get what you pay for" "deals."

I'm not a fan of polyester, but that's not why I downvote. What I can't abide is deceptive (or downright false) advertising. 1600TC Egyptian Comfort? 1600BS Egyptian Counterfeit.

I eat a lot of fiber, so most of my sheets turn out macro.

Instead of sleeping like an Egyptian:

As for the OP, I honestly don't care about sheets. I'd sleep on a burlap bag with no problems. :)

I know sleeping on suede (no jammies) is AMAZING - I wonder if micro fiber wound feel as awesome?

Not a farewell, just a forced redirect.

It's true, Local.Woot is no longer, but please don't despair.

Never-ending savings are still to be found on Deals.Woot each and every day, so come on in. Don't think of it as a time for tears. Think of it as a way to bring us all closer together under one roof.

Sorry

This is only for people who have bought woots

We restrict voting to users who have purchased something from one of the other Woot stores. It's not just because we want your money (which we do) - it's the best way to be sure all the votes are coming from real people and not spam-bots or phony accounts. The best way we can think of, anyway. For now.

You can always get voting rights by buying something from one of Woot's other sites:

Purchases through Deals.Woot don't count, because in that case you're not buying anything from us. And we don't have your account information for those purchases.

If you think you've bought something from Woot before and still can't vote, make sure you're logged in with the same account you used to buy from us.

Geez, why so negative?

You have to vote up more before you can vote down.

Don't get us wrong. Negativity has its place. And downvotes are just as essential as upvotes when it comes to making Deals.Woot a useful place to find deals.

But when your votes lean so heavily toward the dark side, we have to wonder. Go vote up a few things. Accentuate the positive for a little while. It'll do you some good, and it'll do the site some good, too. Then you can get back to dealing out the smackdowns, OK?

Too late, we all heard you!

Hmm... you're wanting to take your vote back?

Well, that's a bit tricky. See, we do a lot of stuff with your vote, using it to work out the popularity of what you voted for, compare that to all the other things voted on, tally up our leaderboard, work out your reputation. Someday we'll do a little cartoon showing just how hard your vote is working.

Anyway, taking votes back messes all that up, so we give you five minutes, in case you just mis-clicked. After that we've got to say no take-backs. Luckily, votes are free, so feel free to throw them around left and right wherever you see fit.
