Linen Home 100% Cotton Percale 1 Flat Sheet, King Size - Crisp, Cool and Strong Bed Linen, Luxury Breathable Sheet, White

I bought these sheets in November of 2020, so almost 3 years ago. I wanted bedding that was like the standard cotton sheets I grew up with...nothing fancy, but definitely not cheap-feeling either. The feel is clean and cool and smooth. It does not have any of the things that most people now seem to want, but I don't... It isn't satiny or shiny, it isn't flannel-y (which always makes me feel like I'm getting inside an old kleenex), it isn't made from polyester (excuse me...Microfiber!), it doesn't have stratospheric thread count or exotic materials. This same sort of sheet was the standard 20 years ago, I feel like, though probably a little bit heavier/thicker. I have basically only 2-3 sheet sets that I use in rotation and when the cleaning service makes up the bed with this set, I always get a little bit excited. Wow, maybe that's really sad. But anyway... I got the sort of royal blue color and it arrived richly hued and hasn't faded. I'm going to buy a second set right now...hope it's still the same quality!

I've grown to love white bed sheets, white bath towels, white bath mats, white hand towels, white dish towels, white cleaning towels, and white linens in general - why?Bleach.Bleach is your friend in this new age. While I love the environment too, the EPA rules have had some unintended consequences that have really played havoc for us all. In order to reduce water consumption, laundry can't be fully submerged in the new EPA prescribed limited fill allowance of water for washing machines (set by the EPA) unless you have an HE FRONT LOADING machine that turns them on their side and there is no way to fix this with modern top loading machines. Add to that, in order to reduce energy consumption, hot water is no longer really hot - and let's face it...there are times you need that water to be hot. I have 4 kids... Just use your imagination. If you happen to have a tankless water heater, you never...ever...get even warm water into the washer itself because the water pull isn't on long enough to activate the tankless water heater to churn out hot water...so in winter you are washing everything in ice cold water. Some machines have internal water heaters through an allergy cycle, or you can add stand-alone water heaters or run a dishwasher simultaneously or send some random kid to the showers...the point is...there is a real need for bleach in this new environment. And phosphates (sodium tripolyphosphate if you actually want the soap to work and get stains out, and get rid of the heavy metals, and lather, and actually achieve soft laundry again, ...but that's another argument. If you are bored...I wrote it up here...cool read actually.....(https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B01N0QGSSU/ref=ppx_yo_dt_b_search_asin_title?ie=UTF8&psc=1) .Which brings me to this beauty of a find. It took a while to realize why some sheets were prone to pilling and getting 'scratchy" and others were not. Sateen, while soft and lovely, is only good for a short while because the weave of Sateen is prone to pilling. Tossing and turning stress the fibers and catch, creating pulls of fabric. Percale, on the other hand, is not going to do this. This particular weave style is strong and although it does not have quite the same texture of Sateen, you couldn't call it "rough" by any stretch - especially after you wash it...with those phosphates I mentioned. Seriously guys...the phosphates.Pros:- Like the song says..."Soft and white, clean and bright"...these don't disappoint.- Wash them guys. Use fabric softener. And phosphates. Phosphates bind up heavy metals that make materials feel rough. You used to have it in your laundry detergents. Now you only have it in your garden fertilizer - and your food. It's a food additive too. For all you fellow chemists out there (Adenosine Tri-Phosphate - ATP). It's in our..ahem..waste..too. Somehow the EPA is only worried about soap. But hotels, restaurants, and all businesses in general kept it. They all have soft linens. You didn't - and you don't. It's not your fault. Add it back. Just once.- I dislike the word "crisp" for sheets. Crisp is like a cracker. That's just not the descriptor I want for a bed sheet. They are substantial though. Substantial, as in "not paper-thin". When you move them, they are substantial enough that you hear the material ruffling a bit. They are soft, but without the heat retention of sateen. They are cool, but not cold (and it just dipped to freezing last night) and I still woke happy and cozy in my bed sheets...yet interestingly, not sweating which I'm prone to do at times.- Price. The best part of percale? The weave is such that it doesn't "require" the thread count that sateen requires. This is a big deal because the lower thread count is not the indicator of lower quality here. You are unlikely to ever find high thread count percale woven sheets. Well, if the thread count is lower, then material costs are lower, and as such, the final product is actually cheaper.- Deep pockets. They. Aren't. Lying. Seriously. For the first time, I don't have to use corner clasps which break and are a pain to deal with. These have yet to come untucked in any corner. I have an air bed - meaning that there are times when you sit up in the bed and you are really pulling on the sheet at a top corner. These are deep pocketed enough that they don't come untucked, despite the pull.- No issues with bleach. The first thing I did was wash these with Tide (free and clear) + phosphates added, Bleach, and Downy (free an clear) and dried with Bounce Dryer Sheet (Free and clear). There were no issues whatsoever with bleach - and I wouldn't expect there to be with a totally white fabric.Cons:- If you can't stand the thought of wrinkles under a bed comforter but you just know they are there and that's about to drive you insane, then percale is probably not the best idea. I'm not judging. Everybody has their own thing. Having said that, the wrinkles are not such that when you lie down, all that your body feels is "fabric wrinkle". That would be a wrong impression. I'm just saying that it's like a cotton t-shirt folded in a drawer. It's not stiff, but you know it wasn't hung. Will it feel uncomfortable? Nope. Will you see a wrinkle...maybe. Yeah...you will. Will you feel it? No.These are really worth the plunge. I wouldn't hesitate to recommend them (in white) to anyone. I say white, because I can't vouch for the dying process and the color fastness of the other options. With the white, you can't go wrong.

These sheets are finished nicely, reasonably priced, genuine 100% cotton, percale sheets which have become difficult to find and generally over-priced. Percale sheets are a traditional weave for durable comfortable sheets that sleep cool. I’ve slept between them for 80 plus years and refuse to sleep between sheets made of modern thin artificial fabrics. These are also OEKO-TEX labeled certifying the fabric is sustainable and free of harmful substances. I always buy standard flat sheets and fitted queen sheets for my queen sized beds so I don’t have to deal with the top sheets showing below my bedspread. There is plenty of overhang with the standard size top sheet on a queen size bed. The fitted sheet in this series fits my thick mattresses well.

So I bought a 14.5” mattress and then added a 2” memory foam topper. So my mattress is way thicker than normal at 16.5”. This has made buying sheets really difficult until I ordered these. These fit my mattress perfectly! Enough to fit underneath but not too much excess where it bunches up constantly. I’m not having to stretch them super tight. I also wanted cool cotton like sheets and these are great. They feel soft and not scratchy at all. I only wish the border had a little bit of detail to make them look a little fancier but over all I’m very pleased.

I liked the feel of the sheets in the package. I don’t care for slick silky sheets. These looked super. Great blue color. So I put in washer to wash so I could put on guest bed. I followed instructions… no bleach or harsh chemical. Just detergent I use for all clothes. Well, the sheets and pillowcases faded in several spots. I attached a picture of pillowcase out of washer before it is dried. So best to order white. The beautiful blue is now splotchy in multiple spots.Update: Once the sheets were dried, the light spots went away. So I don’t see any lighter spots. I don’t know what causes that when they are wet.

I am a total sheet snob. As a Gen-Xer, I love a fitter and flat sheet. Who are these people who don’t use top sheets?! The hubs and I keep our house at 71 degrees at night and use a very fluffy down comforter. These sheets allow so much air flow and stay cool. They are not as silky as CoolMax, Tencel, or bamboo but they breathe better. I washed them 3 times before using them as they improve with washing. I ordered the extra 2 pillowcases to complete the set. We don’t use a duvet so might order another top sheet to complete the bedding look. Comfort is key and these sheets make you feel like you’re laying in a bed made by your mama or Mammaw. We love them. Had to give 3 stars for wrinkling. You will need to iron or steam them the first few times. As a sheet snob, it’s worth it.

Neither sheets nor pillowcases are cut properly, therefore seams are not where they should be i.e. pillowcase seams are in on the top and bottom of the pillowcase as opposed to sides. Very difficult to fold.

I don't normally write reviews but these sheets were exactly what I was hoping for. They are crisp, thicker than other sheets I've had and, best of all, they keep me cool enough to sleep longer than I normally do. For anyone who has trouble regulating their body temperature at night, try these!

The only thing is ! I find the pockets a little big but otherwise amazing quality

Knew as soon as I felt the sheets that they were not percale. Contacted the seller twice in order to return them. Didn't hear back so finally I decided to try them. They were even worse than I hoped: rather than crisp cotton percale, they are thin and soft and I'm not even sure they are 100% cotton. I can tell they won't last long as they are so thin. Extremely disappointed

Too big! We have a king size Tempur-Pedic mattress and these sheets with "deep pockets" are way too deep. They are so loose and so wrinkled. Disappointed for the money.
