Which is better for a thick mattress?

The Eddie Bauer Harrison. It is rated for mattresses up to 18 inches deep, and the Laura Ashley set does not state a pocket depth.

Is the Eddie Bauer set pure cotton?

No. It is a cotton and polyester blend. The Laura Ashley Evie is 100% cotton percale, which breathes better and feels crisper.

Which has more size options?

The Laura Ashley Evie. It comes in Twin, Twin XL, Full/Double, Queen and King. The Eddie Bauer Harrison comes in Queen only.

Neither maker publishes a durability figure. Pure cotton percale like the Laura Ashley tends to soften with washing, while polyester blends hold shape and resist wrinkling but pill more often.

Is the Laura Ashley worth the extra?

Its recent range was $49.99 to $63.30, so it is not clearly pricier. Compare the current price at each store before deciding.

Which is better for a kids' room?

The Eddie Bauer plaid in gray suits a kids' room and its deep pocket handles a thick mattress. The Laura Ashley florals and prints also work well and come in more sizes.
