I like a polypro/dynema blend for sheets because they don't absorb

I especially dislike the "clunk" it makes, capsizing into frozen water.


When this happend to me, the water was liquid, but the air temp was
below freezing. So no "clunk", just a splash, followed immediately by
the sort of vocalization you might expect under the circumstances.
