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
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.
I have found that the quality of sheets made in China not only vary in size but in thickness as well. I purchased 1,000 thread count sheets made in China and found that not only did they barely fit my bed and the 18" depth but they are the thickest sheets I have ever purchased. Might as well go with a good quality flannel sheet that goes by American measurements. I used these sheets once and not only did I donate them but I will NEVER buy sheets made in China again. They were the worst. Everything you are looking for in a good quality 1,000 TC sheet will not be found in sheets made in China.
if you are looking for softness and comfort- invest in this sheet set. i bought the white and it has a chic sateen finish. i am loving it!
Hard to sleep on my other set of sheets now that we have these! Soft and well put together.
After purchasing these sheets I was very excited to sleep in really soft sheets. When I got them they were the least soft sheets I have ever purchased. The 350 thread count I had on my bed currently were far softer. The tag on the sheets themselves only read 100% egyptian cotton with no mention of thread count, not surprised.
Wow! These were some of the more expensive sheets offered but worth every penny. I wanted something swanky for the bed in our guest room for when my in-laws come to visit. These definitely have the swank factor!! Very thick and soft. No signs of peeling after first wash. I got the king size in a beautiful grey. (Just as pictured) - my husband threw a white t-shirt in the wash when I washed them the first time and it came out a little discolored so a word of caution... But he knows better than to wash whites and darks, especially new, together. - may not be able to save these for the in-laws because I want them for myself!!
