Top critical review
3.0 out of 5 starsNot nearly as soft as advertised
Reviewed in the United States on November 10, 2023
I'm a bit disappointed in the reviewers who kept stating how soft these sheets are, even going so far as to say they're as soft as bamboo sheets, such as the ones I used to be able to get at Bed, Bath & Beyond. Nope.
They also are not any thicker than those sheets - if anything, they are thinner. So I don't expect they'll last any longer than those would have, had I gotten them.
Thankfully I only purchased the twin sheets for our guest bed - I'd wanted to make it feel luxurious (as ours does with our bamboo and 1000ct Egyptian cotton sheets), but at a reasonable price point. You get what you pay for... I should have invested a bit more and bought a brand I know and love already, like Sheex (though that's honestly at the top end of the price spectrum and I can only ever afford them when on sale). But I had hoped, based on reviews and the ads and Amazon and all that's been said about these sheets that they'd at least be as soft and luxury feeling as the others, even if not as thick (hadn't really expected that based on the price point, but had hoped.)
So I'm rather disappointed. I will keep them as I washed them already in hopes of that helping to soften them as others have noted it might... it really didn't. But I definitely will not be buying this brand again.
Also - I'd ordered an extra set of pillow cases since the twin set comes with only one pillow (as most do, though I still don't understand why as most twin beds still have two pillows on them... and the twin sets are not THAT much cheaper than the next size up). I got the Grey Paisley pattern, which I will say is a very pretty pattern and another reason I kept them.
However - their dye lots are not consistent. The extra grey pair of pillowcases I got are a shade lighter than the sheet set itself. I put the pillowcase from the sheet set and the ones from the extra package I bought together, and it's very obvious - one looks much lighter and whiter than the other, which has a darker grey pattern overall to it. Again - both patterns are nice, but I honestly thought for a moment I'd gotten the wrong pattern in the extra pillowcases, the difference in the colors were so much.
If you look at the photo I took, the one above is from the sheet set, the one below is from the extra pillowcase I bought - it is the exact same place in the pattern, they should look exactly alike. But above you can see more of the flowers, you can see dark parts and details in the pattern and flowers that you are almost not there they're so light in the lower pattern. The photo doesn't do the difference justice in real life either - it's way more obvious than what that shows when seeing it IRL.
So... again, you get what you pay for. At least part of it was paid by points on my card as well. But I just wish I'd used my Discover points on something else I'd truly loved.
So for those who are looking for truly soft, silky sheets that feel as good as high count Egyptian cotton or Bamboo, with consistent colors and patterns... just get the real deal. It'll be worth the extra cash.
