Bought these because they're listed as "percale" and because a buyer review stated they are thick like a blanket. So I expected a nice, crisp percale to withstand the humid PA nights and frankly, they are not crisp nor are they thick. They also show more wrinkles than I expected. Unfortunately, I ordered 2 sets (believed the online review ....) so I'll be looking at 'em for a while...... I won't make that mistake again. Where, oh, where is the percale of days gone by, that is crisp, wrinkle-free and thicker than a tissue???
I had been searching for percale sheets (like we used to have!) They are difficult to find, especially high quality cotton. These are lovely. I love the crisp, smooth, clean feel of the percale (which is a basic plain weave an opposed to a sateen weave) 330 thread count is fine when good quality long staple cotton is used. Loved the first set and bought a second. The old sateen ones are at the bottom of the pile now (for emergencies) and will probably leave the house!
I was looking for 100% cotton percale sheets, these are pretty good. Iam still looking for something a little more thick & crisp.
I was very happy with the quality of this product. The bottom sheet had ample room to fit a king size mattress.
Do not hesitate to buy these sheets. I can't think of anything negative that I could say about them. Very comfortable to sleep on, the color is good and they fit my new thick mattress really well.

Sturdy, everyday 100 % cotton percale sheets in a dark ivory color. The high thread count all cotton soft, beautiful sheets I was using were shredding so I did a little research online and found percale weave is supposed to be the sturdiest for everyday use. These are, indeed sturdy after several launderings in hot water. Color: as advertised; Feel: smooth and somewhat thick as compared to my soft, thin other sheets; Look: when washed in hot water and dried on low with a tiny bit of dryer sheet the fabric wrinkled, but I could smooth it out a bit. I can't bring myself to wash the sheets in cold water as the label suggests; Pros: Feel sturdy, as if they will stand up to use for a long time. Fabric breathes nicely. Nice color; Cons: On the top sheet there's a decorative satin stitching that looks nice from the right side, but on the wrong side they didn't hem up the edge, so the selvage is sticking out. It bothers me! All in all, I am satisfied with my purchase of king sheet set with 2 king pillowcases. I iron the pillowcases and live with the wrinkles hidden under the comforter. I feel the sheets will last a long time and serve well as everyday linen.
If you like percale (as opposed to sateen), you will love these sheets. They are smooth, cool, crisp, but still silky. They are excellent quality and very elegant. The fabric has a wonderful "hand" and the medium weight is just right. I am so pleased with them I am ordering another set. They are just what I like and a terrific value.
These are the best bedsheets I've owned. You can't beat the price!
Perfect weight and launder beautifully. I need to order another set!
We've had the sheets over a year now, and I still love them. They have a clean, crisp feel and hold up well after many washings. And, they look great!
BEAUTIFUL COLOR. I WASHED THE SET THREE TIMES BUT THEY STILL MAKE ALOT OF NOISE WHEN YOU MOVE AROUND. I CAN'T EXPLAIN HOW IT SOUNDS, KINDA LIKE CRUMPLING NEWSPAPER. iT'S REALLY STARTING TO ANNOY ME MOSTLY IF I'M NOT VERY SLEEPY WHEN I WAKE UP AND CAN'T FALL BACK TO SLEEP IF MY HUSBAND IS RESTLESS AND MOVING AROUND. IT'S NOISY.
Great colors, Great Fit and feel. I will definitely purchase these again!!
I love these sheets! They are soft and crisp. We've had them for several months and they don't pill at all. They do wrinkle a small bit in the wash, but nothing compared to other sets I've had. Such a great buy.
You just melt into the fabric. My husband chills very easily and he loves the set. Use a clear detergent when washing to avoid discoloration. A friend suggested this to me. I am completely satisfied with the purchase and recommend this to anyone looking for a really comfortable set. Thank you.
These sheets are fabulous for a good night's sleep. Just thinking about them being on the bed makes me want to get in the bed! Very soft and comfortable and made to fit well!
Nice feel and fairly thick material... but they DO wrinkle easily. Fresh out of the warm dryer they are heavily wrinkled. doesn't really bother me as they hide under my comforter and other pillows.
At first when taking the sheets out of the package I thought "oh no, they are to heavy" but after washing them and sleeping on them my husband and I love them they are very comfortable.
I love these sheets. They are soft and crisp. They never knot up. They wash good and don't fade.These are the only sheets I will buy for myself or a gift. I would love more colors to choose from, so I can have a rainbow of colors in my linen closet.
I really like these sheets. They are of good quality and ample in cut, and they have a nice feel to them. I have only washed them twice so far, so I don't know how much they will shrink over time. My only complaint is that they come out of the dryer quite wrinkled, but I'm hoping that will become better with repeated washings.
I love the quality and value of these sheets! They have a great look to them that includes a subtle sheen.
