Size and Fit

Pros:

  • "They have deep pockets on the fitted sheet, that easily cover my 12" mattress."
  • "They are silky, soft, super thick fabric, that fit great over my mattress and 3 inch topper."
  • "They fit my mattress perfectly-plenty of room for those with larger mattress sizes."
  • "These are great on my king size bed. They are not too big and my bed is not a pillow top."
  • "I have a 4 inch pad on top and it's difficult to find sheets to stay in place, but these have a little extra and work great."
  • "This, of course, is difficult to do online because I can’t feel them, so I rarely buy them blind."
  • "These were brand new upon opening, so there were no issues there."

Cons:

  • "I ordered the queen and it's more like a full. I could barely get it on."
  • "It's like trying to sleep in saran wrap."
  • "The fitted sheet never manages to stay on my bed."
  • "The fitted sheet is deep, making it a good fit for pillow top mattresses, even though I have a regular mattress."
  • "The fitted sheet is slightly bigger than my king sized mattress, maybe it was made to fit even more overstuffed mattresses."
  • "I must start by saying that I love the fabric feel of these sheets. The fit is another story."
  • "My dad needed a sheet that had stripes on it (to help when making the bed), but had substantial quality."

Material and Comfort

Pros:

  • "I couldn't believe they were so soft and 100% polyester which means they won't shrink."
  • "At this price, I didn't expect a lot from these sheets. The fabric was very soft which is what I was really looking for."
  • "They are silky, soft, super thick fabric, that fit great over my mattress and 3 inch topper."
  • "I was surprised by the quality and feel to the touch. They are soft, with a satin texture underneath the flat sheet."
  • "If you remember Costco sheets from waaay back and liked them, you will dig these. They do not feel cheap or satin-y."
  • "They don't include any fancy details, but are well made. They have deep pockets on the fitted sheet, that easily cover my 12" mattress."
  • "I can't feel any texture whatsoever without it interrupting my sleep. Most sheets are scratchy, or have the slightest texture to them."

Cons:

  • "The polyester material, while durable, traps heat and leads to uncomfortably warm nights."
  • "They do not breathe and do not have that cool crisp feel of cotton. I sweat last night and was soaked."
  • "These sheets are soft enough and look nice, but simply don't breathe very well."
  • "The material is slick and makes me sweat, zero breathability."
  • "These sheets are ok for the money but there is one issue with them. I have washed them 3x since purchasing and they are 'shedding'."
  • "The polyester is not as comfortable as natural fibers."
  • "Gross! Feels like plastic synthetic hot sweaty awful! Don't buy synthetic sheets."

Quality and Durability

Pros:

  • "I've had the white set for almost two years, and I'm ordering a set in another color because I like them so much."
  • "The stitching though is absolutely horrible. It looks like a child sewed it using a cheap sewing machine."
  • "After 2 years of weekly washing, I've only recently noticed that the stripes on the pillow cases have begun to fade."
  • "After a couple of washes, the sheets pilled. I have washed it the first time after receiving it and a month later it was used."
  • "I bought these in navy blue 2 years ago when my husband and I split up. I was getting back on my feet financially then and these have been the only set I've slept on since then."
  • "These sheets are ok for the money but there is one issue with them. I have washed them 3x since purchasing and they are 'shedding' like a Terry cloth towel does when you 1st get them!!"
  • "These sheets get softer with each wash. I’ve purchased 10 different sheet sets and these are, by far, my favorite."

Cons:

  • "Purchased these sheets in February, now searching for a new set in October. The sheets pill significantly over time, losing their initial smooth touch."
  • "As you can see in the video there are many many pieces of string hanging from the stitching."
  • "Be careful of buying very soft Egyptian quality type sheets. They wear out really fast. These got holes worn through them within a matter of six months."
  • "The fitted sheet never manages to stay on my bed. The thing has no greater goal in life than to pop off the mattress."
  • "The fitted sheet is too loose and kept bunching under me while I slept. I had to add some mattress clips to keep it on."
  • "They slip and slide all night, and every morning we had to remake the bed, from the fitted sheet up, because these sheets would slide around so much during sleep."
  • "The fabric feels thinner and less durable than sheets I’ve purchased in the past."
