Elegant, Egyptian, Hotel Quality Translates Into Cheap, Country of Unknown Origin, Motel Quality
I purchased these sheets solely based upon the headline description, which contained the following words: 'Elegant', '1500 Thread Count', 'Egyptian', 'Hotel Quality'. The first thing that is apparent to the touch is that these sheets are thinner than paper, far from anything resembling elegance. With that being noted, it is extremely hard to believe these are 1500 thread-count. IF there is a high thread-count, it is only because the thread is ultra-thin. The word "Egyptian" is placed in the title description as deliberate misdirection. These sheets are microfiber, NOT Egyptian cotton; furthermore, no country of origin (nor fiber content) is listed on the label or packaging. Lastly, the headline likens the quality of these sheets to what may be found in a hotel, with the word "premium" thrown in for good measure. Generally speaking, hotels use long-staple, cotton/cotton blend sheets for comfort and durability. I cannot help but think that maybe the hotels that the description refers to are motels.
If you are looking for soft to the touch, inexpensive, lightweight sheets, these may be for you. However, please be aware that softness does not equate quality. And these sheets are definitely lacking in quality. I am using these sheets strictly for the guest bedroom, but now that I think about it, I really do not want my guests sleeping on these sheets. Had I not washed them prior to putting them on the bed, I would be returning them.
