Luxury & silk bedding?

[Big Stevie]

Having spent what feels like small car money on a new bed & mattress I'm now after some really nice bedding, and I'm considering some Hungarian goose down pillows and would like some really nice & comfortable sheets and pillow cases.

Is Egyptian cotton the way to go? Thread count?

What are peoples thoughts on silk sheets etc? Are they reserved for the kind of 1970's films you found as a kid on VHS tapes at the back of your dads wardrobe, or are they actually really nice to sleep on?

Anyone used Diamond Bedding?

I see they have some Egyptian cotton 1000 thread count sheets and bedding sets for what seem to be reasonable prices.
