Buying Wrinkle Resistant 300-Thread Count Cotton Full Sheet Set, White


I was very disappointed with the quality of these sheets, both the fabric and the craftsmanship. The fabric is very light weight; and the large hem at the at the top of the sheet unraveled the very first time I washed it. I've bought less expensive sheets at Wal-Mart that were much better quality.Get more detail about Wrinkle Resistant 300-Thread Count Cotton Full Sheet Set, White.

Buy Cocoon Egyptian Cotton TravelSheet (Khaki, 94- Inch x 45- Inch)


These cocoons work very well for travel. They are amazingly small and compact & well made. I bought the large one for a family member who is 6'4". I think if I bought another one would buy the larger size because turning would be a bit easier. If money were no issue might buy a silk one for easier movement. We used ours on a bike trip during heat so cotton was nice.Get more detail about Cocoon Egyptian Cotton TravelSheet (Khaki, 94- Inch x 45- Inch).

Where To Buy - Black/White Zebra Sheet Set - Queen


No complaints about this sheet set -- until hour number three. Cotton? Check. Zebras? Check. Fits bed? Check. Fits pillows? No.

I have standard queen-size pillows, and plenty of old queen-size pillowcases that fit them. Those pillowcases are about 29.5" long: these pillowcases are about 27.5" long. Maybe they just shrunk ridiculously in their initial washing, but they're flat-out useless with queen-size pillows, unless you want to have a couple inches of naked pillow to drool directly on while you sleep.

Shop For Tommy Hilfiger 3-Piece Malibu Sheet Set, Twin


These sheets were a nice fit for the "makeover" of my daughter's room. She has asked for a crazy pop combination of peace signs, flower power, polka-dots and about 5 colors---yikes! Finding some sheets that might work with the new bedding was my problem, and I didn't want to pay top-dollar to the "teen" catalog store whose catalog she had been browsing. This set got my problem resolved without breaking the bank on something that after all isn't even SEEN most of the time. Quality of the sheets seems good and they don't feel cheap or scratchy like some inexpensive sets do.Get more detail about Tommy Hilfiger 3-Piece Malibu Sheet Set, Twin.

Disney The Little Mermaid - Ariel Full Size Sheet Set Order Now


The sheets look really nice. However, they feel a bit too rough for a child. I ended up washing them a couple of times with softener which of course blurred the picture.

My daughter still loves it. I would have given it 2 stars otherwiseGet more detail about Disney The Little Mermaid - Ariel Full Size Sheet Set.

Cocoon Cotton Double TravelSheet Decide Now


After a recent stay in a very unclean hotel room with stained sheets I decided that the next time I travel it will be with such a sleeping-bag like product to avoid germophobia disrupting my sleep.

After a bit of research and a recommendation from a friend who also uses one of these, I ordered the double size TravelSheet. This friend travels a lot for business and told me that she never leaves home without one. She advised me to go with the cotton versus the silk as - according to her - the silk TravelSheet tended to wrap too tightly around her body at night. Since I also tend to turn and shift position a lot during the night I decided to follow her advice and order the cotton one.

Due to me moving around a lot in my sleep I went with the double size. I hate nothing more than feeling confined.

This TravelSheet fits the bill perfectly. The width is great with plenty of wiggle-room and the length generous enough to where I won't come into contact with hotel sheets if I don't want to. I am also quite happy with the quality. Seams are double-stitched, and gussets reinforced - it feels like good quality which will last a long time.

A few minor design weaknesses prevent me from giving it 5 stars:

A) The Velcro closure is only on one side of the sheet, yet this particular product is marketed as ideal for two people (I personally would find it too small to share for people like me who have "motion issues"). I couldn't help but wonder how the person on the non-velcro'd side would manage to get out of the sheet during the night if the need arose.

B) The pocket for the pillow seems not deep enough. Basically the underside of the sheet is longer at the top end, with a small backward fold-over to tuck the pillow underneath. I will definitely get a separate pillow cover instead.

C) The storage bag. It was a major effort to get this TravelSheet out of the stoage bag it came in, and I will never be able to roll it this tightly again and fit it back in. I was wondering if they actually used a vacuum to get it rolled up as small as it was. So the bag is pretty much useless.

All that said, I think that this is a great product which will give me much needed peace of mind in the future. BTW, I got it in khaki so to not accidentally leave it behind one day ;-).

Low Price 1000-Thread-Count Egyptian Cotton 1000TC Sheet Set, California King, White Damask Stripe 1000 TC


I recently bought this sheet set - very soft and good value for the price point. Quality product. I wasn't able to find anything remotely close to this at bed bath and beyond. In comparison, the BBBY 300 TC sheet set was 100 bucks. Am looking to buy from this merchant / manufacturer again.Get more detail about 1000-Thread-Count Egyptian Cotton 1000TC Sheet Set, California King, White Damask Stripe 1000 TC.

Save 1200-Thread-Count Egyptian Cotton 4pc 1200TC Bed Sheet Set, Queen, Gold Solid 1200 TC


These sheets are a great quality, the cotton is very soft and it has the heavy feel of a high quality product. They are soo much more comfortable and really make my bed the haven I need. I am loving them.

There are only two things that customers purchasing the gold solid should be aware of. The first is that it's more goldenrod than the picture implies, though that's common with things shown online. The other may be me not understanding the how sheets are supposed to fit...however my mattress is eight inches deep with a six inch feather bed on and the sheets are a really tight fit. I don't think that they would fit on a deeper bed as the listing implies, at least not without straps to hold the fitted sheet in place.

Discount Scent-Sation Charmeuse 300-Thread-Count Satin Standard Pillowcase Pair, Smoke Blue


Pleasantly surprised. Quality much greater than ones Target used to sell, for same price. I wash in machine, but hang dry inside (to avoid heat possibly damaging fabric)...dries superfast (less than hour). I bought 3 packs in white to match my white bedding. These are so fab to sleep on...cool, smooth and silky for face. Love them. Your hair will love them too. Wake up with no messy hair. Would buy again.

Cheapest Tanglewood Green Jersey Sheet Set - Cal King


After purchasing a jersey sheet set in Bed Bath and Beyond for about $60 and LOVING it, I came across this set on Amazon. I was thrilled with the price. BUT, you get what you pay for. It's not a bad sheet set, but it's not nearly as soft and comfy as a higher quality stuff. Hopefully, after repeated washing, it will get softer like an old t-shirt.Get more detail about Tanglewood Green Jersey Sheet Set - Cal King.

Cheap Pinzon Fleur Jacquard 18-Inch Square Pillow Cover, Taupe/Cream


After ordering these pillow covers online, I went to Michaels to get inserts. Naturally, I purchased 18 inch inserts. When the pillow covers came in, I discovered that the 18 inch were WAY too small and had to go back for the 20, which are of course, much more expensive (unless you get them at Ikea, which I ended up doing). HOWEVER, they are beautiful, and I love them!Get more detail about Pinzon Fleur Jacquard 18-Inch Square Pillow Cover, Taupe/Cream.

Buying Bamboo Sheet Set - Queen Gold 1000 Thread Count Cotton Sheet Set


These sheets are amazing. Since I have bad indoor allergies, it was recommended that I try bamboo sheets and they are wonderful. The best part about bamboo sheets is that they never "feel dirty." They feel like silk and wash great...delicate cycle and low dry is fine. They are definitely worth every penny, as they are the nicest, softest, most comfortable sheets I have ever owned. It is hard to get out of bed now. I own them in the sage color as well. Get more detail about Bamboo Sheet Set - Queen Gold 1000 Thread Count Cotton Sheet Set.

Order Woolrich Leaf Flannel Sheet Set - King


I got these just hours before we got an Arctic front and hurried to put them on the bed. The fitted sheet fit my 11" deep mattress with room to spare. The full set pillowcases fit my queen-size pillows, although I found the top sheet just a little short. The sheets were so warm that I had to pull off my socks and throw out my heating pad in the middle of the night because I was just too hot--something that almost never happens! These sheets are soft and comfortable right out of the package.Get more detail about Woolrich Leaf Flannel Sheet Set - King.

Shop For Pinzon 400-Thread-Count 100% Egyptian Cotton Pleated Hem California King Sheet Set, Cloud


I have now washed these sheets twice, and although I'm not totally sold on them, I AM considering purchasing a second set. Here are some considerations:
--- The "parchment" color leans toward mauve, rather than cream.
--- The sheets get pretty wrinkled in the dryer. I don't worry about wrinkly sheets, but if you do, think twice.
--- There is no pilling after two washes. Good thing, too; I hate pilling and will amend my review if it appears.
--- You won't want to launder these sheets with anything that might lint; they collect it like crazy. And if you have pets (I have cats) you'll probably need to spend time picking off little balls of pet hair that magically appear. I do not allow my cats to sleep on the sheets, and I am fastidious about keeping my comforter and carpet free of pet hair, but these sheets seem to attract it from the ambiance.
--- The fitted sheet is nice and snug on my deep mattress. While I don't mind wrinkled fabric, I don't like sleeping on lumps and folds; the fitted sheet in this set stays smooth between changings.
--- The top sheet is a perfect width for comforters. I've had several sets that I had to tuck in on the sides to avoid visibility below my comforter. Not these.
--- The tucks in the hems of the top sheet and pillow cases look classy, but the edges do have a tendency to roll. As much as I am adverse to ironing, I am tempted to haul out the board to address this issue. Also, because I am a side sleeper who tends to sleep on the edge of my pillow, if the pillow isn't snugly into the case, I awaken with marks on my cheek from the tucks.
--- The sheets are substantial in weight without overdoing it. I have a set (different brand) of 440 thread count sheets that are so heavy as to be uncomfortable, but the Pinzon set feels much better. Still, if you like your top sheet to drape around your body, you probably won't care for these.Get more detail about Pinzon 400-Thread-Count 100% Egyptian Cotton Pleated Hem California King Sheet Set, Cloud.

Egyptian Linens 1200-Thread-Count Egyptian Cotton 1200TC Sheet Set, King, Taupe Solid 1200 TC Top Quality


The taupe color is definitely darker than that of the photo, but even more beautiful than expected. I expected taupe to be somewhat bland/generic of a color, but they are quite brilliant. Due to the high thread count, the sheets actually have a slight sheen. The thickness keeps them from being super soft, but they are still wonderfully comfortable. I've had them for several months, have washed repeatedly, and they are holding up great. I'm getting ready to order another set so that I'll have these around for years to come. Well worth the money!Get more detail about Egyptian Linens 1200-Thread-Count Egyptian Cotton 1200TC Sheet Set, King, Taupe Solid 1200 TC.
