These are great sheets at a value. However, these will only be great sheets for you if you understand the material and how to launder them. If you have never owned Egyptian cotton sheets, do not let the 1 star reviews scare you off. They have never owned them either, and have never been told how to properly care for them.

Egyptian cotton sheets start out rough. Google it - this is the norm. They soften with each wash, but there is a specific way to launder them. First and foremost (as with anything), wash them according to the tag. To prevent shrinkage, maintain color, and extend their durability, wash cold on a gentle cycle, with gentle detergents. You don't even need to use the normal amount of detergent, either. Follow the instructions of your washing machine on your top or side loader (i.e fill the top loader with water first). And don't use fabric softener.

If you don't want to see your sheets ripping up or have their seams busting or unraveling, wash your sheets separately from other garments so there is plenty of room. And don't wrap your sheets around the agitator. Overstuffing your machine or circling sheets around the agitator tends to beat them up and cause the issues of sheets (and other clothing) falling apart.

Don't leave them sitting in the washing machine when done. This increases wrinkles. And of course there will be some wrinkling - it's cotton. Wrinkle-free sheets have formaldehyde added to them, so best of luck if that's what you want. Dry on the lowest heat setting. Heat shrinks cotton, and adds wrinkles. It also reduces the life of the sheets. If you want to try to hasten the softness of the sheets, you can use dryer balls or clean tennis balls in the dryer. And don't over-dry them. They actually are best taken out when barely damp.

If you know what you're getting and know how to take care of them, you will really like these sheets. I think the main problems with the low reviews are that people aren't really taught how to launder their clothes anymore, and that is not the fault of the manufacturer. When you invest money in clothing, bedding, etc., it's always a good idea to put some effort into taking care of them properly.

Like many of you, I read through a ton of reviews and gave myself a mini education before buying a set of sheets. I never write reviews, but wanted to help out others that are out there searching like I did. I poured through info on thread counts "true thread counts" different weaves, fit, etc. I have to say a week into owning this set that I am quite happy! The color is exactly what i was expecting for the charcoal grey...the picture was accurate. They have a great weight to them and have a terrific quality feel. they arent "scratchy" like some of the reviews i read. They have a nice cool feel as you get into bed, breathe well, dont bunch up, the fitted sheet stays in place and has nice deep pockets. Egyptian cotton only softens with washes (dont use fabric softener!) but they are already quite nice after the initial wash out of the box. they have the official Egyptian cotton logo tag and also state 100% egyptian cotton. they are a sateen weave...dont mix that up with "satin" which is a completely different thing/material. they do have a slight "sheen" to them aka a "shininess" but it isnt anything that is over the top or looks silly or cheap, just a nice quality weave. The pillow cases fit my pillows just fine, and they are on the fluffier side. This is a bit long winded, but i wanted to be sure to give the info that i was looking for and learned about. If you're apprehensive at all...don't be. the price is great, dont let that scare you into thinking its too good to be true. I highly reccomend this set and am very happy with the purchase.

Arrived in terrible condition. Ordered white sheets but they arrived possessing an off-yellow/brown color to them. Stains could clearly be seen on the sheets and they had a weird, sour smell to them. Both the box and the plastic case that the sheets were contained in were undamaged which leads me to question why my sheets arrived in such a poor condition. The photo shows the stain covered sheets against a white mattress, which is the color I expected them arrive in. If I could rate this lower, I would.

I'm giving these sheets 3 stars. Pros: They are thick, nice color, and seem to be sewn with quality. I think they used nice finishing stitches and thread. Also, the packaging I think is legit unlike some other sheets I've read reviews on , meaning I believe these are 100% Egyptian Cotton 800 thread count. They just feel nice and thick. Cons: The fitted sheet does not fit a 15 inch deep mattress. They advertise that these will fit mattresses up to 18 inches and that is in no way is possible. The top sheet doesnt reach to the sides of the mattress either. They are incredibly wrinkly out of the dryer. I have only washed them once and I wouldn't say that they feel extra soft or anything of that nature but I have read that cotton sheets become softer after multiple washings. Mu husband didnt notice the wrinkles and said he thought they felt great. Right now I would say that I wouldn't buy these again bc they don't fit my bed but that if they did fit better, I very most likely would order again.

As the title says, this is a tough review to write. I loved the sheets... they lived up to everything the other positive reviews indicated. The sheet material itself was quality... the kind of sheet, after you washed it and crawled into bed, felt like you were at a 5 star hotel. Moans emanated from my mouth. So why is this a tough review to write. Because after 4 washings, the material tore at the corner seam. I contacted the seller who was extremely responsive and offered a full refund if I returned them or a partial credit if I kept them (I had sent her a photo of the tear). I took the latter because I loved the sheets so much and was able to sew the corner. Would I order them again. Probably. The seller was very willing to solve the problem, issued an immediate credit so I chalk it up to a one time issue.
