WestPoint Home

Third Avenue has its share of showrooms, but few handle the basics quite like WestPoint Home. The 7th floor at 777 3rd Ave—just above the Midtown hum—is where sheets, towels, and blankets land after leaving the mill. No seasonal displays or flash sales; the inventory runs to percale, sateen, and terry in weights that feel familiar the moment you unfold them. Call (212) 930-2000 before you climb the elevator; the receptionist can confirm what’s in stock and whether the freight elevator is running for larger orders.

Most customers are designers or hotel buyers who already know the difference between 300-thread-count and 600, so the sales floor keeps samples organized by fiber rather than color. If you’re mapping the trip, pull up directions—the building entrance is easier to spot from 48th Street than from the avenue itself. The neighborhood still moves at a clip that makes linen feel like a quiet indulgence.
