We wanted to go to Poly-M, but most of them have now closed. The one in bundang doesn't have anything (we called).

We looked at Costco, but what they had was pretty ugly.

Any suggestions?

That Ikea online place.

Forgotten it's name. PM Spliff he will remember. Do 100% Cotton sheets for pretty good prices.

Dongdaemun fabric market, though I saw mostly sets.

Lotte Mart, too, like Emart.

I went through the same process a year ago and ended up buying a set on vacation in the USA for $30.

We bought a hypo-allergenic cover for our mattress at Costco, but we need sheets still.

Excuse me, but what kind of insanely organized website is http://weagookinmall.com?

Categories:

Best of Best, New & New, Hit Collection, Event Sale?????

I did a search for sheets. Nothing. I looked at all 10 or so web pages. Nothing.

Next.

I've seen some garishly ugly sheets at EMart that looked like they were 20 percent fabric and 80 percent paint that would hurt my eyes even with the lights off and probably feel about as pleasant as sleeping on sand paper.

I do not want prints. I want nice soft solid color sheets. All cotton. Please, Korea.

Ks seem to have some aversion to cotton - ??

sheets come and go in stores here - they are always imported but not regularly

I found some nice ones in Bangkok at a mall - I wouldn't order any over any websites here - chances are they aren't what we consider sheets but some kind of cover, and probably not cotton

best to order from back home or have someone ship them to you.
