Bests & Worsts Reviews from Amazon

There were a lot of very positive and very negative reviews of this product; there were also many comments in the negative reviews that concerned me when I ordered. Now that the sheets have arrived, I believe I can weed out the facts from the unrealistic expectations: First, it is clearly stated on the website that the sheets are microfiber, and that they are only LIKE 1500 count Egyptian Cotton in their softness and performance. The packaging is a little more ambiguous - if I had bought these sheets in the store based on the package info, I would have thought they were Egyptian cotton. However, the info on the website was accurate, and I was certainly not expecting high thread count cotton, based on the price. I bought the white sheets, size full, for my daughter's high, pillow top mattress. The pockets were plenty deep for the sheets to fit well, and they did not rip or tear while putting them on the bed. They are thin, soft and smooth - a beautiful, comfortable fabric. I washed them exactly according to package directions - short wash in cold water on delicate, tumble dried on low, removed promptly from the dryer. There was some dryer lint, but not an excessive amount. The wrinkles did not come out entirely, but they are less wrinkled than whey they came out of the package. I do not expect sheets to be completely wrinkle-free, and I really don't care. It is true that the decorative tucked stitching on the pillow cases is only on one side, and the other side is not fastened down by stitching. Very cheaply finished. There were no bleach spots or uneven streaks in the fabric. Bottom line: for the price, these are great sheets for a child or teenager's room, and if you have realistic expectations regarding their appearance and function, they're a great buy. UPDATE: My daughter slept on them and deemed them amazingly soft and comfortable. They did not bunch up or come off the mattress.
