Bedding Sheets & Pillowcases, 100% Egyptian Cotton Sheets Calking Size, 800 Thread Count Dark Grey Sheet Set, Solid Sateen Weave, 16" Deep Pocket (Fits Upto 18" Mattress), Cotton Bed Sheets - Charcoal

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.

So my wife is pretty picky about sheets, so I bought these after reading some of the reviews. I could tell immediately upon receipt of them that they were very thick based upon the weight of the package. I washed them and put them on the bed, the fitted sheet was nice and deep and had strong elastic, which I like because I usually pull the sheet off the mattress when I move in bed. That has not happened with these sheets. The sheets are dense, heavy, and soft. They remind me of the sheets at a high end hotel. I could not be happier with them! My wife even commented the next day when she returned home from work about how well she slept with the new sheets and that she couldn't wait to use them again! I'll be ordering a second set for our bed and another set for the guest bedroom.

My first impression upon taking them out of the package was how incredibly stiff they were. I figured after a wash or two they'd soften up and actually be "soft" as some of the reviews claim.I had no such luck. I washed them in cold water as instructed with my normal laundry detergent and dried them on low. They came out of the dryer stiff. I tried it again with some fabric softener, and I noticed no difference. I washed a third time with some Arm & Hammer Super Washing Soda, detergent, and fabric softener. Still stiff and scratchy. The item description even says they're soft, and there's absolutely nothing soft about them.There's also no way the fitted sheet would fit an 18" mattress as the package claims. It barely fits on my 12" mattress. Not nearly as generous as other sheets I've had that only claim to fit a 15" mattress. I think after another washing they won't fit at all. This is unacceptable for sheets at this price point. It also comes in generic packaging with no name brand which doesn't make me confident that these are genuine Egyptian cotton.This is my first "Egyptian cotton" sheet set and I'm not impressed. I honestly have no idea why this product has so many positive reviews unless they're getting random sheets from different manufacturers and sticking them in the same packaging. The only good thing I can say about these is I like the color. Other than that I don't think I'll be able to use them.

Loved these for 4 months! Great color, great feel. Then, as with other reviewers, the fitted sheet started to tear at the seams. The "Fully elasticized fitted sheet provide 15-inch-deep pockets to accommodate both deep and pillow-top mattresses" did not manage to handle my queen-sized mattress-and-topper, which together total less than 12 inches. Very disappointing. I would definitely have paid an extra $5 for better stitching.

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.

These are super stiff and uncomfortable. We have washed them 5 times now and they are still not usable :( If anyone knows of soft, comfortable sheets please let me know.

I splurged on Egyptian Cotton after researching before purchase. Some of the sheet I looked at were WAY more money. These were listed as 100 percent so I risked it. Sooooo glad I did! They feel wonderful. There is an ever so slight sheen which makes them smooth as you move under them, without being in anyway slippery. The material feels rich and full of quality. I really hope they hold up long term...directions call for cold water and low temp drying which I will do because I absolutely love these sheets. Best I have ever had!!!!

I was a bit skeptical at first.thinking to myself "are these bed sheet really worth the price and hype.They can't be much different than regular sheets."I was wrong they are by far the best sheets I have had.I have brought 800 counts sheets before but the quality wasn't nearly as good.the Egyptian Cotton does make a difference.The price is great for the quality you getting.

These arrived in packaging with no label, sheets themselves have dodgy labelling attached. These sheets feel like 100% polyester, they are not Chateau Home Collection.

If you are looking for a set of high quality luxury linens, keep looking. These are NOT them.I bought these sheets because I was impressed by the high thread count, and the reasonable price. But then I learned that high thread count does not necessarily mean high quality, and the low price of these sheets is more of an indicator of what you're getting.In fact, these are very low quality sheets. And the proof of this can be seen in the attached screenshots, which shows the pilling (little balls) that has formed on the sheets, after just a couple weeks of use. These pills were not caused by mistreatment, because I hadn't even washed the sheets yet. They were caused by a breakdown of the fibers as a result of poor manufacturing and low quality cotton.Do yourself a favor and avoid these disappointing sheets.

I was alarmed by the shrinkage in these sheets after washing and drying. I paid top dollar for the sheets and I did notThink this would happen like it does for cheaper sheets. The material should be pre-shrunk before hand.

I was excited about how these felt on arrival, however after 4 or so washes with them in an alternating rotation with another set, they are pilling in the main sleeping zones. Gives them a rough texture. I have never seen that in bedding before. Disappointing.

Very low quality for price. Could have purchased a higher quality product from a discount store. Washed them 3 times and the started to ball up. Quite thin as well.
