Bed sheets, primarily from their Threshold line, are favored by influencers. "They have nice prints and solid colors, they are soft and durable, and they allow for a very deep mattress without ever coming off. They have elastic on the corners that keeps them in place. They also have little tags that tell you whether an edge is the top/bottom or side. They are just really well-designed sheets! Just make sure to look at Threshold," writes one shopper. "I love my Threshold cotton sheets," writes another, who prefers the "performance" sheets.
