Yeah I’m the same way, I’ve found high thread cotton sheets to wear quite nicely, they can seem touch stiff by still luxurious and as they wear they get a really nice feel to them. I shop around at Tuesday morning and marshals and can usually find 1000 count sheets king sized for around 100$ and you get the added bonus of getting to feel them. As a other poster indicated not all are of equal value, and online sales reviewers may not like the same attributes as you do (or be fake reviews)
