Egyptian Cotton 1200 Thread Count Solid Oversized Sheet Set

Overstock has done it again..... These sheets are not for the feign of heart. They are not your silky, satiny, impress your boyfriend or girlfriend with the feel of soft (cheap) sheets. These sheets are built for sleeping - in comfort. Yes, when you wash them they wrinkle..... but if you press them they can be made as straight as a level..... They are cool, crisp, smell like springtime freshness, sleep like a baby sheets that are cool to the touch and look like a million dollars on the bed. Don't write me about too scratchy or too stiff... When I'm in bed I like mine stiff. The fact is these are the finest quality sheets that you will ever find for the money - and I have tried virtually all of them. These things wear like iron, last for years, and will be as good for sleeping five years from now as anything in your linen closet. There... I've said it - and I've said all I have to say about this product.

This Egyptian Cotton 1200 thread count is definitely the best sheets that is out there. A lot of people prefer the sateen sheets which slides and is very slippery. Before upgrading to the Kingsdown King Size bed, we had a queen size and were using a high quality (900tc) and it was very comfortable, but this 1200 tc is by far the most comfortable I've had. I'm very happy with my purchase and will be purchasing the other different colors. F.Y.I. There is a 1000tc that is available by other manufactures that is listed on overstock, but it isn't as half as good as the Egyptian Cotton 1200tc. I know because I made a mistake in purchasing the 1000tc.

So, overall, a great price for a hefty threadcount. The sheets have gone through several washes and are still smooth and have perfect hems. They seem to be well made and durable. The only downside is they are thick sheets--really thick. Their threadcount seems to relate to the density rather than the feel of the fabric. So, if you're looking to slide into sateen heaven at night, these are not your sheets. If you're looking for smooth, hearty sheets, buy away!

Wasn't exactly what I thought I was getting. I thought they would be the same as the sheets I had purchased previously... so soft right out of the box. They weren't, however, after washing them a few times I can tell that they will eventually get there. It's a heavy sheet and can almost be used as a light blanket, but that isn't discomforting to me and it just goes to show that the quality of the fabric is that good. No pilling or stray fabric ends after washing, another testimate to the quality of fabric. The only thing holding me back from the 5 star rating is that they aren't soft yet and that the pillow cases aren't offered in sizes other than standard. Since I have Queen sized pillows it would have been nice to have the option when making my purchase to get pillow cases that fit my pillows.
