Bests & Worsts Reviews from Amazon

Despite a highly positive recommendation from a friend, I resisted trying microfiber sheets. Since they are a synthetic fiber, I feared microfiber sheets would be hot in the summer and cold in the winter. I was wrong; these sheets are what I've been looking for, for many years. In the past, I always purchased mid-level quality cotton sheets; the variation in texture and softness between different brands and fabric weaves left me constantly searching for that "perfectly" soft sheet set. Furthermore, over the past decade or so, the transitioning of the textile industry from America and Europe to Asia has caused a steady and noticeable decline in the quality of cotton sheets; my last set of cotton sheets, which cost nearly $100 at a well-known bed and bath retailer, lasted just three months before I had worn holes in the area of the sheet directly under my body. The low price of these sheets led me to try them, with low expectations, given the marketing that touted these cheap sheets as "luxury" products; I've read the consumer advisories, and know to ignore the ridiculous thread counts and other such claims on most sheet sets. Opening the packaging, I was surprised by the softness and the seemingly good construction of the set. After washing (always wash textiles before you wear or use them these days, due to the filthy conditions in factories), the sheets seemed even softer! The deep pockets of the fitted sheet swallowed my pillow-top mattress, with seemingly enough room for another mattress! Over the past few months and several washings, the sheets still look brand new, with no appreciable change except for an increasing softness. The sheets were cozy warm this winter, though I don't know if they will keep me cool in the summer. In short, I have become a microfiber sheet fan (if there is such a thing). The combination of low price, decent quality, and increasing softness justifies the praise these and other microfiber sheet sets are receiving.
