Egyptian Cotton 1200 Thread Count Stripe Sheet Set

When I was a child my grandmother ironed her sheets and I never understood why would you do that. These sheets explain it all. High thread count sheets need to be ironed and all sheets used to be good quality. Now you can buy 200 thread count permanent press sheets that come out of the dryer ready to use. I have owned these particular sheets for four years and they are great. They are durable to biweekly washing and have held their color and shape. They could stand to be ironed but I don't I just put them on as is. I have found them to be durable, comfortable and of very high quality realitive to other sheet sets I have purchased. After four years they are now starting to show wear but no holes or rips or tears just wear from use. I am about to purchase another set right now.

I was very disappointed in these sheets. I never spent this much money on sheets and really was expecting a luxurious treat. They are very wrinkled coming out of the dryer. My main complaint is that the fitted sheet does not fit - at all. Very frustrating and back-breaking! Pillowcases are skimpy. I would not recommend them to anyone.

• Please tell us about the quality of the product. Mediocre
• How accurate was the on site description of the product? Fairly accurate

After few washings the corner seems on the fitted sheet all split, rendering the sheets useless. These were expensive sheets (even at Overstock's price) to have them last such a short time. Disappointed.

• Did the color match the color displayed onsite? Yes
• How is the quality of the product? The cotton fabric is indeed thick
• Did the description onsite accurately describe the product? Yes

I bought the Egyptian Cotton 1200 Thread Count Stripe Sheet Set thinking that these sheets would be super soft like the other Egyptian cotton sheets that I have slept on. This is not the case. These sheets feel like any other normal sheets to me, excpet they feel a little thicker. Maybe I need a better understanding of what Egyptian cotton really is because these are not as soft as I expected. Next time I'll be sure to feel the fabric at a specialty store, such as ********* and then check Overstock to see if they carry the same type. Overall, I'm sure these are good sheets, but I was expecting something different. I would have guessed that these had come from ***** if I didn't know where they were purchased.
