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
