Hotel Style 600 Thread Count Gray Paisley Cotton Pillowcase, Standard Queen (2 Count)

These sheets have the classic satin stitch at the top for understated beauty, and they would go well with almost every style of decor for that reason. Other sheets can be limp and lifeless, and sleeping on them is not really much of an experience. That is definitely not the case with these sheets. These sheets are crisp and full of body. Just putting them on the bed makes you look forward to bedtime. I feel pampered when I get into bed and sleeping on their pearly smooth texture is dreamy - they don't bunch or pull off the mattress. They also don't crease easily so they look good even after being slept on. The best features have to be the wide elastic all the way around the fitted sheet and the elasticized pocket seam. My mattress is only 12 inches thick, so the fitted sheet curled under about 8 inches all the way around. But it didn't bulge or cause the mattress to be bumpy - it was very neat and smooth. This is important when you have a raised metal foundation (as opposed to a box spring) because extra linen can sometimes fall through the wire mesh under the mattress and look messy. I liked these sheets so much, I recommended them to my mom.

To be honest when I was growing up we bought sheets at the thrift store and used those. When I got my own place, I bought the cheapest on the shelf and used those. Never one to travel much. These arrived very quickly. Nicely packaged. The first thing I noticed was the weight. To me, the package felt heavy for a box of sheets. Once I got the package home and on the table, I opened the box to discover the sheets were a beautiful color. I read the package. 100% egyptian cotton with sateen weave. I could not possible explain how many hours of my life, on how many different visits I have spent standing in the bedding isle looking at sheets. Yes, just standing there debating. Only to walk away, telling myself I would get a good quality set another time. But that time really never came. Anyways, the set is one size bigger then what my bed is only because I have neck and spinal damage and I found it is less painful for me to get it on and tuck it under. I can see making the beds will eventually become a kid chore around my house. Once we got it on and tucked, we jumped in bed to try them out. My daughter and I. She said they felt so soft and silky. I found the weight of the sheet, which is a bit heavier then the cheapest ones we have been using added a bit of quality comfort allowing us to sleep much deeper, longer. No matter how much tossing or turning I did, the sheets never balled up, and the material stayed silky smooth. the lesser sheets tend to feel like sand paper after a while. I toss and turn a lot due to pain. To be honest I never felt nor used sheets like this before now. Just knew that the better thread count meant better sheets, was not sure how. After using and reviewing these, I cannot see myself without them. I guess what it boils down to is... There is nothing wrong with cheaper sets of sheets. But if you want to have a high quality sleep on sheets that are extremely soft, sheets that will last and last, I would highly recommend these sheets. As a person with painful disabilities, sleeping is the most painful thing above all else day or night. Using these sheets allowed me to toss and turn less, sleep deeper, with out all the other issues the cheaper sheets caused. I would highly recommend weather it be your investing into bedding or just unsure of going to a better thread count. I would say after this a better thread count really does make a world of difference.
