Kalypso Egyptian Cotton 500tc Queen Sheet Set (Made in Italy)

These sheets are cool, soft, and very comfortable.I was looking for a percale (1x1 weave instead of 1x4 weave you get with a sateen) with the understanding that percale breathes better and also is less likely to pill.I think people tend to make too much of the thread count, and I can assure you these 500 count sheets seem much nicer than lost of 1000 count sheets you'd see at big box stores.It's only been two washes, but I don't see any signs of pilling. They have that really cool feel to them when you crawl into bed.They definitely are 100% cotton, and I iron the pillowcases before putting them on the bed. The whole set could all stand to be pressed after washing, but who has that kind of time?Overall, a great set of sheets and I'd recommend to anyone looking to invest in quality.

bewared!! about the color of these sheets! Didn't even open the package to look at the true feel - I ordered the "rose" and in the picture it looks light tan -- it's bright pink! i guess I'm dumb for not looking at the name.
