Amazon Basics Lightweight Microfiber Pockets Reviews Summary

Comfort and Feel

Pros:

• "The best part of these sheets is the fact that they kept me cool all night long, not once did I sweat while laying in these sheets and that’s a huge plus for me!"
• "It fits perfectly on our TempurPedic and it sure is a snug fit."
• "Really helps us stay cool while we sleep."
• "These sheets are soft as silk."
• "They're very soft and fit my thick mattress perfectly."
• "These sheets are wonderfully soft and pretty much wrinkle free."
• "These sheets genuinely feel like a fluffy cloud against your skin."

Cons:

• "These feel like a fabric shower curtain liner you’d use in your shower. There’s nothing soft about these sheets.... super disappointed."
• "The flat sheet has a weird slick texture."
• "Material was initially soft but the area that received the most wear became rough 'pilled up' by the second wash."
• "They don't fit as advertised, they are too big for the bed and wrinkle and bunch up."
• "By the first night the bottom fitted sheet kept getting all wrinkled and pulled around."
• "These sheets feel like plastic, don't breathe at all, and are very hot."
• "I hated the feeling of the fabric on my skin."

Quality and Durability

Pros:

• "Great sheets for the price!"
• "I've been buying Amazon Basics bed sheets for a few years. I like them a lot. Easy to wash, easy to put on, durable."
• "I have had these sheets for three years now and they lasted through 4 total moves in and out of college with me, they are so durable and as soft as the day I bought them!"
• "The color has never faded with all the washes and they are just as soft as they were from day one."
• "I was very surprised by the quality of this set. Even after almost one year of use and it being washed very often because my son’s dog sleeps in the bed. The color is still vibrant and it is still in excellent condition."
• "They wash up fantastically and just keep feeling softer each time."
• "These sheets are super soft AND very inexpensive."

Cons:

• "Color Fades: The colors may fade quicker than your summer tan. So, expect them to look less vibrant after a few cycles."
• "But just after 3 months I am disappointed. The sheets are dingy and worn."
• "They don’t shrink and they will pill after time and they have ripped."
• "These are the worst sheets I've ever seen, bordering on a scam. Amazon describes them as 'microfiber,' but they are nothing like other microfiber sheets I've purchased."
• "This one with one color is terrible after the first wash, the sheets were covered with little balls like a 4 year T shirt..."
• "Unfortunately, just a couple months and less than a dozen washes later, they have begun to seriously pill."
• "They will not last more 6-10 washes and extended use."

Fit and Size

Pros:

• "It fits perfectly on our TempurPedic and it sure is a snug fit."
• "I have had trouble finding fitted sheets that actually fit a double pillow top bed, and this, fits perfectly!!"
• "The fitted sheet would probably still fit on a thick mattress. The flat sheet covers completely and is not tight."
• "They fit the bed very well, and are pretty soft on the skin."
• "Fits my Sleep Number i10 duo King (2 extra long twins) so much better."
• "The elastic is strong, and they fit my twelve inch mattress well."
• "For once I have a fitted bottom sheet that has enough material and good elastic to go under the mattress far enough that it doesn't pull out but stays put."

Cons:

• "They don't fit as advertised, they are too big for the bed and wrinkle and bunch up."
• "By the first night the bottom fitted sheet kept getting all wrinkled and pulled around."
• "The fabric itself is very nice, but if you have a deep mattress, these will pop off in an instant."
• "The fitted sheet was for a twin bed and I had ordered a set of full size."
• "They do not fit a queen bed unless it has a very thin mattress."
• "If you have a pillow top mattress they don't fit as snug."
• "The sheets are almost 2 inches too wide for my full-size bed the pockets are nice and deep but I can’t hold them tight because it’s too wide."

Color and Design

Pros:

• "I love the color, it is very classy!"
• "I live for the grid design so aesthetic!"
• "The color is exactly like the one in the magazine."
• "The red poppys are so sweet and just the right amount of color."
• "I ordered a pack of queen sheets just for the guest bedroom. when they arrive( on time) I was elated to see how crisp and bright they were."
• "Absolutely love the print and color on these!"
• "This set is an awesome value! I loved the richness of the color."

Cons:

• "I got the yellow one which in the picture looks like a light creamy color but when I got it it was a very dark mustard yellow."
• "I was a little shocked at the dark gold color when I was looking for some sort of yellow."
• "Olive color looked to be a nice green on the web page, but when it arrived I was disappointed that it was more of a brown-tan olive color."
• "I order a pale yellow set and received what I can only describe as mustard yellow."
• "Ordered Emerald green to fit a different pattern and turned out darker than I thought (or the online picture suggested). Still looks good. Keeping them."
• "I ordered the one that looked like a vibrant mustard yellow and it was more like a dark gold."
• "You can see through these sheets."
