These are about the same price as a set of silk sheets. If you slept on both which would you recommend and why?

The linen sheets are unique--they really keep you cool in the summer, especially here in the South where it is humid. And there is the other "cool"factor: do you know anyone else with linen? Note: you do have to line dry them--the dryer eats them up bit by bit.

Silk is a good fabric but not as good for bed sheets.One of the advantages of Linen is many many health benefits !

Entirely different, not As smooth but substantial, great feeling like a good linen shirt. I've had silk and they did not wear well. I like them feels authentic, timely.

I recommend the linen -- it gets softer with every wash, keeps you cooler, and you don't slip around on them like you do on silk sheets.

Silk sheets would be hotter and slippery. Linen has a soft but nice rough feel and they breath.

I've only slept on silk once, but prefer linen. It feels luxurious and down to earth at the same time.

king would be overkill, queen should be perfect. You will love the weight and feel, I love it!!!

I agree with Chris. My bed is really firm and also new, and I find the topper makes it more comfortable. It's a medium amount of "squish," so if you want an ultimate pillowtop feel, maybe go with a thick all memory foam topper.

It's good for both. On a firm bed, this gives the cushioning to feel cradled while on your back, and if you sleep on your side, it improves the comfort of side sleeping. A softer mattress is typically better for side sleeping, so if your mattress is really firm and you side sleep, you might want an even thicker topper to soften it. 4" could do it.

not really ,i have both ,but extra deep would be easier to stay put and wont rise up. The regular sheets some times are not all the way down over the topper and mattress, but i still like the mattress topper i sleep much better now.

I got my sheets from Amazon. Graco has fitted sheets for 6-8 dollars apiece and they are VERY snug.

Either one would be fine. I have six inch ones, and the beds are very comfortable. There are more than the usual number of slats for stability and comfort!

I bought a: Twin Size Ultimate Dreams Budget Saver Firm, Sold by Dreamfoam Bedding from Amazon. It works great.

Putting a futon cover on top of either, I believe would be a challenge. However, I would choose the water-proof one over just a regular fitted sheet.

My error, I just looked at my history on Amazon, and BOTH of mine were bought from Defense Acquisitions. I read some of the other responses, adn I agree, if you want something new, then buy new. Having said that---they are washable, and other than the fact that someone else slept in it, I can't tell the difference. If that doesn't bother you, save yourself the money.

It would look a little weird. There's nothing holding a mattress in place and I think it would look weird to see both pieces covered in sheets. I think you should just opt for a thicker mattress like an 11 or 12 inch. I really recommend a memory foam mattress.

I suppose it depends on what you compare them to. Softer than the 400 count bed sheets I've been using at home. I like them...

I used toddler sheets... To be honest this bed really isn't worth the money.... If you lived in las Vegas I would give you mine.

I have slept on both and both are comfy, but the xtherm is much more comfy. Like another said, the xtherm is good for side sleepers too.

I did not buy these. I bought sheets from O stock for 600 Thread Count Embroidered Sheet Set with Bonus Pillowcases. I love those.

The fitted sheet is nice; the top sheet felt like rayon. The pillowcase was also nicer quality. My daughter hated the top sheet, so she doesn't use it.
