Based on MY taste/observation/experience, Costa Rica is REALLY lacking in good higher QUALITY bedding/sheets for sheet snobs like myself (my bed [a complete memory foam bed with NO coils as coils in a bed are REALLY BAD for anyone with High Blood Pressure, Pain and/or Arthritis!!!!]) is my SANCTUARY and I use soft/sensuous sheets of 600+ thread counts and have the MOST LUSCIOUS•SENSUOUS feeling blanket I've EVER found (from Orotex)!! I sleep so little so when I do, I want it to be a MAGICAL experience!!!!
Typically the sheets I've found in many stores doesn't even have a thread count listed on it so Goddess only knows what it is and it often is quite rough and scratchy and often the elastic on the bottom sheet doesn't last long.
Finding special/COOL sheets - hahahahhahaha!!!
Below is a list of some places where I've found bedding of at least 200 count (again - finding thread count listed on sheets in CR is RARE so we start with what we have to!!).

I hear PriceSmart have some sheets that are at LEAST 400 thread count & they're quite cheap!!! Low as that number is for us Sheet Snobs - 400tc is quite good/rare in CR though we're SLOWLY getting better quality things but you're gonna pay for it!!!

Another option is to buy things online/on the internet/web & have friends/family bring them to you. You can have them shipped to you & though the item could be cheap, they often are in oversized boxes hence there will often be a fee for such oversized boxes.
The BEST QUALITY in bedding for the LOWEST PRICE I get online at:
OverStock.com/Home-Garden/Sheets/1/subcat.html
OverStock.com/Home-Garden/Sheets/1/subcat.html
& have people bring them to you!
Shipping of your WHOLE order within the U.S. is just $1!!
They also have AMAZING prices for Memory Foam Toppers which are shipped quite tightly and I’ve had people bring me king size ones in their suitcase! I just ordered some 330 Thread Count Solid Sateen Sheet Set for just $30!!
