Bests & Worsts Reviews from Amazon

I wanted Egyptian Cotton sheets with a very high thread count. I also wanted a big, fluffy mattress topper, so to stay within budget, I bought these microfiber sheets instead. I am not disappointed. These sheets are soft. Not slippery like sateen, and not cozy like flannel, but just soft. They are very comfortable and don't trap body head and make for a sweaty night's sleep. I wanted sheets with DEEP pockets because I have a pretty high mattress, and a mattress pad, and a memory foam topper, and a big, fluffy down alternative mattress topper. The pockets on these sheets are DEEP, like Bill Gate's! Very impressive. Oh, and the elastic goes all the way around the sheet. The fitted sheet hugs your entire mattress. The flat sheet was long, but not crazy long, but a good size to be able to tuck it in nicely. I liked the extra pillow cases (the Queen set came with 4) because I like fluffy comfort. I have a King size pillow on my bed with it's own special pillow case, and then 2 "chillow" pillows and 2 big and fluffy regular pillows. I washed these right out of the package. If you don't wash your sheets before you use them, then you should find a "how it's made" video on textiles. Machine wash cold / cold with regular Tide and no fabric softener. Then I tumble dried them on low heat. They dried pretty quickly. While we are on the topic of wash and dry - these sheets are 100% polyester. Do not (DO NOT) wash them with anything made out of cotton. Do NOT launder them with towels, socks, underwear, or t-shirts. NO NO NO. Do you know why? Because THAT is what causes pilling (those little annoying balls on your fabrics). In short: the cotton fibers will shed and attach to the sheets, thus causing pills. Also, if you stuff your washing machine full, the friction of all of that stuff rubbing together will increase the likelihood of pilling. So, wash these sheets and pillowcases all by themselves or with just a few other 100% polyester items. So: I love them, I am glad that I bought them, I feel like they are good quality, and if you found my review helpful please let me know.
