The last thing you want to do is order new sheets and, upon realizing your distaste for them, have to send them back. To avoid any painful sheet purchasing scenarios, keep the following in mind: 

Fitted Sheets vs. Flat Sheets: What's the difference?

For queen size sheets, expect to pay anywhere between $50 and $300, depending on the style of sheets. In general, materials like linen and silk will be the most expensive. Cotton, bamboo, Tencel, or other similar materials can vary — some are quite expensive, while others are more affordable. Polyester and other synthetic fabrics will generally be the least expensive.

Jersey bed sheets use the same type of knit cotton or cotton mix as the humble t-shirt! They are soft and stretchy but not particularly durable.
