I am the author of two books on sewing, so I know a bit about textiles. I am also "mature," so I remember when ordinary sheets lasted for 10-20 years. In days of yore, there were two types of sheets: muslin and percale. Muslin were less expensive because they were more loosely woven and softer; less textile, less money. Percale were crisp, tightly woven, had a characteristic crackle when shook, and lasted forever. If you got a set of percale sheets for a wedding present (a very nice gift back when) you were still using them when the kids when off to college, no kidding. I have sheets that are over 36 years old that are in better shape than the ones I ordered and am returning. It burns me that I have to pay return shipping for this junk. These sheets could be called percale because they are tightly woven, but they are very, very poor quality. They are so thin as to be transparent; the hems are all ripply because they are off grain; and why can't pillow case hems be sewn properly by sewing the seam first and then folding over and sewing down the hem? How hard is that? These sheets would not last through a winter without ripping. The claimed 300 thread count means nothing. Is anyone going to send them to a textile lab or count the threads themselves? If the threads are made of short fibers rather than sturdy longer fibers, and those fibers are not tightly twisted into quality yarns, and the resulting yarns are of a very thin diameter, the fabric will be thin and will not wear well. I am so tired of marketing hype that consists of lies and misleading claims. The truth is that these sheets are cheap junk made in China, which isn't exactly known for its quality textiles. Had I known that they were made in China I would not have ordered them. We used to have such high quality sheets at reasonable prices made in the US and from cotton grown in the US that European visitors filled their suitcases with sheet sets to bring home with them. No more.
I purchased these sheets because they are percale rather than sateen and I prefer the feel of percale. They are soft yet crisp and look terrific on our bed. The embroidered pattern is classic and adds just a touch of color. They are everything that I hoped they would be.
These sheets have a nice hand, and are crisp and cool. They launder beautifully. I press the pillowcases, which I always do, but they can be folded out of the dryer nicely, too. The quality is outstanding and the embroidery is a nice touch. Forget about the phony 500-600 Egyptian cotton you can read through; buy percale. This set is a great value.
Unless you are lucky enough to own a mangle to iron these sheets or have full time help to do this type of chore, skip buying these sheets. Fresh from the washer and dryer they were so wrinkled I would have spent hours ironing them. Twin size might not be so bad but king size was way too much. Overstock was wonderful about refunding the cost less shipping.
i purchased the percale sheet set, hoping they would have that same cool, crisp feel as some percale sheets that i already have.......... i was not disappointed................the sheets were very white, with a nice sage green scallop, and they are very crisp and cool feeling. i love the way they feel and how they fit nicely over our deep mattress. they wash up nicely. now they do tend to wrinkle a bit, so i do iron the pillowcases, but not the sheets. i am willing to put up with some wrinkles just to have cool, crisp sheets. i would definitly purchase these sheets again.
Purchased my first set of percale sheets and I'm very impressed! I live in San Jose, CA where the nights are pretty warm, so I was looking for a sheet set to keep me cool rather than warm. I'm a warm sleeper. This set did the job! I slept in the room that was at about 80 degrees with these sheets on and an alternative down comforter on and didn't break a sweat. Only down side is they wrinkle. I washed them and they wrinkled a lot and I was too lazy to iron them. I put them on the bed anyways and the wrinkles seemed to let out a little after being put on the bed. I'd definitely recommend this sheet set to the "too warm" sleeper :)
I ordered the duvet and loved it so I ordered the sheet set and I am just as pleased.
Sheets are very nice and comfortable. They are definitely crisp, percale sheets and I would recommend them to anyone who like this. Love them!
At first I was wary of buying this sheet set because the thread count is a little lower than I usually look for. I'm glad that I decided to get this one, though--these sheets keep us comfortably cool and feel great!
Have washed these sheets several times since we received them and they have kept that crisp feeling that percale is noted for. I would recommed these sheets if you like that nice crisp feel. They are extremely comfortable and show no signs of giving up the crispy feeling that I love. Will be purchasing more soon for the guest room !
