Bests & Worsts Reviews from Amazon

Like many of you, I read through a ton of reviews and gave myself a mini education before buying a set of sheets. I never write reviews, but wanted to help out others that are out there searching like I did. I poured through info on thread counts "true thread counts" different weaves, fit, etc. I have to say a week into owning this set that I am quite happy! The color is exactly what i was expecting for the charcoal grey...the picture was accurate. They have a great weight to them and have a terrific quality feel. they arent "scratchy" like some of the reviews i read. They have a nice cool feel as you get into bed, breathe well, dont bunch up, the fitted sheet stays in place and has nice deep pockets. Egyptian cotton only softens with washes (dont use fabric softener!) but they are already quite nice after the initial wash out of the box. they have the official Egyptian cotton logo tag and also state 100% egyptian cotton. they are a sateen weave...dont mix that up with "satin" which is a completely different thing/material. they do have a slight "sheen" to them aka a "shininess" but it isnt anything that is over the top or looks silly or cheap, just a nice quality weave. The pillow cases fit my pillows just fine, and they are on the fluffier side. This is a bit long winded, but i wanted to be sure to give the info that i was looking for and learned about. If you're apprehensive at all...don't be. the price is great, dont let that scare you into thinking its too good to be true. I highly reccomend this set and am very happy with the purchase.
