My wife, Cecily, 77/20+ has been using satin sheets for 2or 3 years and no problems. She doesn't read in bed, I imagine that would be a problem. She feels that the advantages of the slipperiness overcome the disadvantages. Make it so much easier to move around in bed. We got the idea from a friend that had PD and muscular dystrophy. We got them at Sears, altho I would think that any fair sized dept store would have them in the linen dept, or could get them. Bob Anibal [log in to unmask] P.S. New Years Eve was our 56th aniversary. Can anyone beat that ?
