Okay, I have finally started paying attention to the thread counts on sheets. At first, I couldn’t afford to be picky. Now that I am actually making more money than I am spending (having a job is really nice!) I can buy nicer things. Like sheets with thread counts higher than, oh, five. I’m pretty sure that’s what we were sleeping on before–the ol’ WalMart special that felt kinda like sandpaper. Yeah, that’s the joy of being broke.
Anyway, so we’ve gotten a couple of sets of 500 or 600 thread count sheets. The problem that I have now is that they are constantly wrinkly. I take them out of the dryer right away, but they are just covered in wrinkles.
Does anyone have any tips? Should I dry them on a higher heat? Lower? Dry them with something that is heavier and will beat the wrinkles out of them? Kinda like drying pillows with tennis balls or whatever.
I don’t know why I am posting this seeing as how no one reads this blog, but if someone does happen to have some advice, I would be very appreciative! Thanks, all. (or none, as the case may be)

My guess, as I’ve always been too poor for Egyptian cotton and thread count over 4.5, is this – cotton wrinkles! Oooh, ain’t I smart?
Seriously, cold wash, no bleach; fabric softener in the rinse may help. Dry on low, remove promptly and put on the bed while warm.
Let me know if that helps. Cuz if it doesn’t – I’ll remove this post entirely. Lol
Oh, I know this one! When you load into the drier, untwist them and separate from other laundry. That will help as will not putting so much in the washer/drier at a time.
