Bests & Worsts Reviews from Amazon

Of the hundreds of products I've ordered from Amazon, this is the first I've returned for any reason other than damage during shipping. It is a truly terrible product. I fail to understand how this is "Amazon's choice" and how it has almost 3,000 reviews and a 4.8 star rating. I bought these to replace some worn Walmart sheets in our guest bedroom -- I do not have high standards. These sheets are extremely heavy, itchy, and coarse. When I first removed them from the package, I noticed how coarse they were, but assumed I just needed to wash them first. I washed them on the gentle cycle, then tumbled them on low heat with a dryer sheet. Put them on the bed, climbed in, to try them out, and it was absolute oppression! -- like lying under a painter's canvas! I removed the sheets, washed them a second time -- this time on normal -- then tumbled them on low in the dryer. Took them out, tried again -- same result. If you enjoy soft, silky sheets (as these are advertised to be), look elsewhere!
