Amazon Basics 5 Piece Light Weight Comforter Reviews Summary

Quality and Durability

Pros:

• "For the price, this bet set is absolutely worth it!"
• "The comforter is warm and the house is cold so very happy on that score."
• "It was a breeze to slip on, the comforter is VERY light, and it looks like it can stand repeated washes/dryings/and general wear and tear from everyday use."
• "The comforter is really warm, unlike many cheaper alternatives."
• "The comforter is thicker and warmer than expected."
• "The fabric is very soft and it holds up great to washing in my washing machine."
• "I have had it now for 6 months and it's in fantastic shape."

Cons:

• "The fitted sheet sometimes slips off."
• "Just finished washing this set before putting them on the bed and the comforter color already ran!"
• "Unfortunately it has not even been in use for a month and at the seams this comforter has started to come undone."
• "This item is very cheaply made. I ordered this for my son and after washing it one time the seam on the comforter came apart."
• "The sheets however, are poor quality and after washing it probably 3 or 4 times, it has already starting 'beading up'."
• "The fitted sheet is already beginning to pill a bit."
• "The bedding is comfortable and looks great, but unfortunately the comforter began to tear and thread on the corners when washing it."

Comfort and Feel

Pros:

• "Very soft and almost satin like. Comforter thicker then expected."
• "It's soft, and cool and feels good against the skin, you'd never believe how inexpensive it is."
• "The sheets are very soft and pleasant to sleep on."
• "The comforter is light weight. It’s cool over you when it’s warm out and cozy when it’s cold."
• "They are soft and satiny Not at all like other Piling microfiber sheets that I have slept on at other peoples houses."
• "Sheets are great and very soft."
• "The colors are absolutely gorgeous and the comforter is so soft."

Cons:

• "I absolutely hate these sheets. They're about as soft at the carpet in my dorm which forces me to wear long pants and socks to bed."
• "The sheets are paper thin and feel terrible on your skin."
• "The fitted sheet seemed just a bit too large-not tight, like it should be."
• "The sheets seemed too scratchy."
• "However, the comfort factor is lacking. It is not very comfortable at all."
• "The first night I slept in it, it seemed a bit hot."
• "The sheets and the comforter are wrinkled."

Design and Appearance

Pros:

• "All the pieces have a different pattern (the sheets, the shams, and the comforter) but they all coordinate exquisitely."
• "I totally love this set, it looks just as good as the pictures, fits perfect and there is no nasty smell."
• "The colors are as bright as shown and the quality was a lot better than i expected when I received it."
• "The color is beautiful and vibrant, it looked exactly the same after the wash."
• "Beautiful bright color, comfortable, fits great!"
• "Even though it's clearly darker than what's shown, this is still a beautiful teal color."
• "The blue and white color pattern was a very cute choice."

Cons:

• "The color is not the same as the picture, it's actually teal... very teal."
• "Also it was wrinkled very badly when we unboxed it and will continued to be wrinkled until I dewrinkle it."
• "Think you'll get a mandala on the pillow shams? Think again. Off center.... means not at all a mandala on the cases."
• "The color pictured was pink but it was a vibrant peach, not the right shade of pink."
• "The color on here is probably 3 or 4 times lighter than what I got, it's more of a dark navy no real lighter stripes."
• "The colors have blotches and bleeding right out of the package."
• "I just expected more gray like the color of other gray blankets I have."

Value and Price

Pros:

• "Well worth it though considering the price."
• "I was completely surprised by the quality of this sheet set for the price I paid."
• "I was so pleased with the vibrant colors and good quality of this comforter for the price."
• "What a bargain! Replaced our guest sheets with these and they look beautiful."
• "For the price this comforter is perfect!"
• "With how affordable this was, I was sort of expecting to be disappointed. I was WRONG!!"
• "It is a really good deal, the material is really good, soft, and comfortable."

Cons:

• "This item is described as 7 piece, but this is false. There are only 5 pieces."
• "Don't waste your money. Put a few more dollars towards a quality set."
• "Absolutely awful, considering the price."
• "I feel misled. Why show the shams with pillows in them but the full size pillowcases empty if they're both going to show up empty?"
• "I like that there's a cheap option available, but I have to say that I've found cheaper and higher quality at bargain outlets (big lots, etc.)."
• "Absolutely not as described. Item is listed has a 7-item purchase: A comforter, a flat sheet, a fitted sheet, two shams, two pillowcases. I only received a comforter."
• "Also, it said it was a 5 piece set. I only got the fitted sheet, the flat sheet, the comforter, and one pillow case which was disheartening."
