Bests & Worsts Reviews from Amazon

These are my third pair of Egyptian cotton sheets. I purchased this pair, as well as "Chateau Home Collection" Egyptian cotton sheets to replace my pair that I have had for over three years. The reason for purchasing two pairs of sheets so so that when one was being washed, I would have another to throw on right away. NOW THE REVIEW: Let me start by saying these sheets do not feel like what you expect quality Egyptian cotton sheets to feel like. Rather than feel like satin like and smooth, they feel very rough when compared to the other to brands of Egyptian cotton that I have. They are extremely thin...Im talking about you can see through them even when not putting them between the light. My other two pairs are definitely thicker, yet still more cool to the touch and when laying in them. This has me concerned as to how long they will last. Finally, they came out of the box smelling extremely strong of chemicals. So much in fact that even after washing them once the smell still slightly lingered. If you know Egyptian cotton, or this is your first pair, beware this is not what quality Egyptian cotton is! I HIGHLY recommend purchasing the Chateau Home Collection 800 thread Egyptian cotton sheets. They are thicker, better quality elastic on the bottom sheet, softer and more cool. As a bonus, they are even about $15 dollars less expensive.
