I have to wonder if some of the people reviewing these sheets are actually receiving/reviewing the same product. One person says, "these were too heavy - like canvas! Not good for warm climates," and right after or before that, someone said, "these were so flimsy and lightweight, there's no way they are 1000 thread count!" Another example was a reviewer who said, "these were so scratchy out of the package!" Right next to that was, "these were so silky smooth, right out of the package!" But the best one is, "these are way too shiny to be Egyptian Cotton sateen" followed by, "these are not even shiny lilke real Egyptian Cotton sateen should be!" I would just like to clear these up, assuming we are, in fact getting the same sheets. I just received mine (king size, white.) Out of the package, they actually did feel silky smooth on one side, less so on the other. I immediately washed them in cold, normal cycle, then dried them. My dryer setting was "more dry" so they did come out with the typical wrinkles expected from a high heat tumble of heavy cotton sheeting. They feel incredibly soft - still, one side (the finished side of the fitted sheet, the side of the flat sheet that will touch skin, as well as the outer sides of the pillow cases) is silky smooth with a dull sheen, and the other side is not as silky smooth with no sheen. Also, to those who gasp at the fact that the sheets are made in China and, therefore, couldn't be Egyptian Cotton, that is an INACCURATE statement. Part of my college design courses included Textiles, and the term, "Egyptian Cotton" refers to the fibers, themselves - the COTTON, which is from Egypt. Manufacturers all over the world use Egyptian cotton so, for example, a more expensive set of sheets I purchased last year were made in Italy. They are still sold as Egyptian Cotton sheets, made in Italy. I gave these sheets 4 stars instead of 5 because I do see that, out of the packaging, the end threads weren't trimmed off sufficiently, so I did that myself - a measure I didn't have to take when I purchased the $700 Egyptian Cotton sheets made in Italy. But, snipping off a few threads was well worth the savings on these. I am curious to see how they will wear over the months, and if, in fact, they do pill (one of my pet peeves,) I'll be sure to adjust my review rating.

have purchased 1000 ct egyptian cotton sheets from overstock in the past and am disappointed in this set. these sheets were more like 400 to perhaps 600 ct in softness and thickness. in addition i found them to be somewhat skimpy in size. i would not buy them again nor recommend them to others.

These are the scratchiest 1000-thread counts I've ever encountered, which I presume is why the price is so reasonable. I expect these will soften with use but I still would have preferred a softer texture from the start, as is achieved by other high-thread-count sheets. Pros: deep fitted pocket fits my sleep number mattress + 4 inch memory foam topper. The color I ordered (stone/taupe) is beautiful. Cons: unpleasant texture

• Would you recommend this to a friend? No

The color of the sheets is lovely but the quality is very poor. I have washed them many times and while the sheets themselves don't seem to pill, they literally shed onto everything, i.e., mattress pad, blankets, quilt, nightgown and carpet. The seams in the pillow cases started coming apart after one wash.

As the title implies, I've been buying high thread-count sheets for years now. When you first buy a pair of high thread-count sheets, sure, they're heavy, but they shouldn't be overly stiff as these sheets are. And with washing, they get softer over time. I have sheets from about 6 years ago, that, while they are getting a bit worn now, are probably the softest sheets ever, and they were like that when I took them out of the package. These are probably a double ply sheet. They're very stiff and yes, heavy, but it's like wearing a canvas blanket. I've had them for about six months now and they haven't really softened up at all, like I hoped they would. I don't know who you're trying to fool, Overstock, but it isn't me. You used to have great sheets, but not anymore. These are cast-offs.

The word santeen conjures up images of satin and silk and softness...not scratchiness, which these sheet are. I've had them close to a year now and through several washes and they have not softend one bit. I won't go so far as to say they feel like cardboard. They are a bit heavy, so I only sleep on them during the fall/winter season. The photo makes them look shiny, but they are not shiny at all. However, they are a nice chocolate color. I have sheets with lower thread count that feel silkier than these. These sheets aren't awful, but they do not live up to their reputation.

I purchased these sheets for my new king size bed and wasn't apprehensive about ordering from Overstock because in the past I've never had a bad experience. These sheets are terrible in quality. My husband put them through the wash one time and the pillow cases started falling apart and the seams. I returned them right away and got a full refund.

As advertized. True to color and quality. Devoid of any embellishments. Laundered beautifully, and I will be happy to use these sheets for years to come.

• Would you recommend this to a friend? Yes

I love these sheets, They are supremely thick and soft and beautiful, and are lovely to slide into! The warnings from others that they are scratchy at first are quite true, and I would say maybe 6 washings to feel really silky, but now I have incredibly thick and soft sheets that should last forever! I will order more in another color!

Was wanting that upscale boutique luxury hotel feel for the master bedroom and these helped complete the effort. Beautiful contemporary colors, simple tasteful design. Soft and luxurious, they are a pleasure to snuggle into each night. I am sure there are "better" sheets out there, but these fit our budget and are worth every penny. Also hard to find good deep pocket sheets to fit thicker pillow top mattresses, but these fitted sheets stay put.

I have a Cal King bed with a pillow top mattress. Many of the sheet sets I've purchased in the past don't quite fit the bed. The top sheet usually is too short on all sides and the fitted sheet won't completely cover the mattress.These sheets meet that criteria. They fit like a dream and are made of a heavyweight cotton sateen that feels and looks beautiful when my bed is made. I would definitely purchase these again.

They are a thick cotton and keep their shape. Wash well. Just what I wanted.

Excellent quality! A tremendous value for the price.

I ordered 2 sets of these sheets. I received them yesterday, I couldn't wait to get them washed and put on my bed. Good thing I only opened 1 set. I'm very disappointed, I have 800 tc that are better quality. I will be sending the one I didn't open back. I wish overstock would refund your full price on stuff you are not pleased with. once you open it you are kinda stuck. Either you keep it or take less than what you paid. For that reason I have not been ordering as much as I used to. It's a hassle to send stuff back and not get a full refund.

When my husband noticed that the new sheets were on the bed, I knew I had a winner! The fabric is quite comfortable, with a great feel as you slide into bed. The fitted sheet pockets are extra deep so very easy to put on the bed. And the top sheet is generous so there is adequate drape for tucking at the bottom and on each side. They are cotton though so they do wrinkle. Even so, this can be somewhat minimized by putting them on the bed straight out of the dryer. I purchased an extra set of standard pillowcases, which I would also recommend. Again, generous sizing so easy to fit my fluffy down pillows. I'm a stickler for good bedding. These meet my standards!

I have given similar set to my friends as gifts and have gotten rave review.

This is not a 1000 TC sheet. They are decent after several washes but they are thin and don't feel like a high quality sheet. Probably around 6-7 years ago I bought several sets of 1000 TC sheets from overstock that I loved (link below). They are thick, luxurious, soft and just really lovely sheets, but no longer available. In the past year I have bought 4 different sheet sets from overstock to try and replace them since they are kind of old now. However, I am still using the sheets from 6-7 years ago because the sheets in this listing, as well as the others I have recently purchased here, are not truly 1000 TC. The main thing to look for is in the link below the description specifically states that it is a 2-ply yarn. That is the standard. But most of the descriptions now do not explicitly state this - which means they are most likely a 1-ply yarn - which is a scam to call 1000 TC since it is effectively a 500 TC sheet. Still looking for a good sheet. These were the best: http://www.overstock.com/Bedding-Bath/Luxury-1000-tc-Sateen-Sheet-Set/646681/product.html

I have used these sheets for only a couple of months and they are now rough as sandpaper. They feel more like 150 count instead of 1000.

• Would you recommend this to a friend? No

These are the best sheets I have ever bought. Lush and luxurious feel. Fit well. Wrinkled when you take them out of the dryer, but soon smooth out once on the bed. I now have two sets!!

• Would you recommend this to a friend? Yes

The sheets are good, but they are definately not 1,000 thread count. I own several sheet sets between 600 and 1,000 thread count and all of them feel softer and smoother then these sheets. I am a little disappointed in the quality.
