Yeah I’m the same way, I’ve found high thread cotton sheets to wear quite nicely, they can seem touch stiff by still luxurious and as they wear they get a really nice feel to them. I shop around at Tuesday morning and marshals and can usually find 1000 count sheets king sized for around 100$ and you get the added bonus of getting to feel them. As a other poster indicated not all are of equal value, and online sales reviewers may not like the same attributes as you do (or be fake reviews)

Not sure there are any sheets that last a lifetime. Best I’ve gotten is out of super high thread count and having a lot of sets but still not buy it for life status. Even synthetic will break down eventually, can’t stand the feel personally tho.
