If I were to use bedsheets, I wouldn't use 800 count. Higher counts are made with finer threads and don't last as long. JoAnn's recently had their $10 a yard 45" home dec for half price. I chose some for family room curtains, but there were so many colors and prints to choose from, it was hard. It would be a good weight for slipcovers. A 40% off coupon would make it $6 a yard.
