Sheets
Can anyone recommend what kind of sheets to buy that won’t rip or pill so fast with lots of leg movement?

Watch for sales and get the highest 100% cotton thread count you can afford. My sheets feel satin-y.

Re: Sheets
If you can find them, percale cotton will last much longer. Most of us like the nice out-of-the-box feel of cottons that are a sateen finish, as well as that they do not wrinkle as much. They do not last as long in my experience.
My mom still has some percale sheets she had when I was growing up. She has RLS, but not PLMS. I have percale sheets I bought at least 12-15 years ago. But, I just threw out a 100% cotton sheet that was 4 years old - it was the softer, less wrinkly sateen. It seems to me that it is hard to find percale sheets - at least 70-80% of cotton sheets I see are sateen.
