Bests & Worsts Reviews from Amazon

I love the quality of these sheets. They are the best quality cotton sheets of percale I have ever owned. They are from India, accounting for the excellent quality of the cotton which India has long been known for. I have washed them now, in hot water and hot dryer. They said to wash in cold water but I don't do that ever, and they only had minimal shrinkage which is fine because they were more than ample size to start with. This has led to a learning experience for me. I decided to look up just what percale and sateen means as far as the weave goes. I found the answer for sateen to be exactly as I thought and have experienced. Sateen high thread count --like 1200 thread count, is less durable than a 300 thread count percale why? Because the thread count is actually not a testament of durability of better quality because the threads used are much finer, resulting in a thinner less durable sheet, which has been exactly my experience. And costly too. Percale refers to the type of weave, as does sateen. In percale it is a straight over under weave using fewer thread count but heavier thread, resulting in the thicker crisper sheet, that I love and prefer. If you find that sheets coming out of the dryer wrinkled is unlikable for you, then I guess you would want to stick with polyester. That aspect of cotton percale is fine with me, I wouldn't trade the crispness and comfort for cotton percale for anything..Hope my explanation of the weaves wasn't too much information. I found it interesting. Hope this helps.
