You are conclusion shopping, let's not do that. If you want BIFL sheets, use the search engine as we have spoken on this topic like 90 times in the last 3 months. And none of those conversations stray from long staple cotton or linen.

There's an inherent trade-off here between durability and function (comfortable, antimicrobial). Denim would last forever, but would you want to wear it?

With any delicate fabric, how you care for it makes a difference in how long it lasts:

  • Hang dry
  • Wash cold, gentle cycle, or hand wash
  • Wash with other delicates, or in a mesh/garment bag
    • Rubbing up against rougher fabrics is what causes damage, you can think of the rougher fabrics like sandpaper.
  • Use gentle detergent, and less of it.
    • Most important for silk, since many detergents have enzymes to break down proteins (e.g. egg yolks), which helps get out tough stains. However, silk is a protein, so it also gets broken down.

I don't, I use a wide toothed comb for blow drying. I have short (bob length) straight hair, medium thickness. I'm worried that the heat from the dryer would damage the rubber pad or the bristles. The brush is great for detangling dry hair and moving the oils from your scalp down your hair. My hair's gotten so shiny since using it and has less static.

Denman brushes are heat resistant, and I've heard good things about them too. Maybe the Denman D38 for your hair type.
