California Design Den Split King Sheets for Adjustable Bed, Natural 100% Cotton Sheets, 400 Thread Count Sateen, Deep Pockets with All Around Elastic for a Snug Fit, Durable Bedding Set - Light Grey

Years and years ago, I had a sheet set that I didn't appreciate at the time. The kind of purchase you buy in your youth when money is no real issue but relegate to the back of the linen closet when you color preferences change. I rediscovered that set recently (no longer usable as we upgraded to a larger bed) and I realized...those sheets never pilled, never wore, never frayed. And here I am now with "soft" sheets, navigating and avoiding holes each night.Figuring repurchasing quality sheets would be pricey, I've put it off for months. Meanwhile, I'd been researching what is was about those original sheets that I liked so much. The tags had been long worn...no clue brand, material, or weave.What I'd determined was I liked their crispness, their weight, and their overall thickness. And what I needed to find would be long staple cotton.I discovered these sheets in particular on Amazon and the price was far less than I was expecting to pay.Some say itchy - I say crisp.Some say wrinkly - I say...duh. 100% cottonSome say lower thread count - I mention quality of thread usedI'll update should I discover deteriation with use, but so far...these are PRECISELY what I'd been looking for.Update: nearly 1 year late, there has been no noticible wear. They are softer now, but still look great with no pilling for fraying. These were precisely the sheets I had hoped for.

I recently purchased 25 sets of these sheets to add to my current inventory. I posted another detailed review a while back, so I will augment that review by giving a history about why I love these sheets; I embarked on a "perfect sheet" journey a couple of years ago. I wanted to find the best sheets for my guests so they feel that luxury they deserve when they stay at my properties. I purchased all the sheets you hear about on radio and internet ads. I even purchased a subscription to a consumer magazine and read about the sheets they compared. I purchased each one on the list. I didn't think I could bring myself to pay $400 for a queen set of sheets. But, I did. I literally put the California Design Den set (I purchased for my own bed) against the $400 set and the 5 others on the consumer list. I took out a powerful magnifying glass to see the differences in the weave, closed my eyes and felt them, smelled them, took photos of them, washed and dried them all and slept on them, personally. I literally could not see, feel or smell a notable difference among 6 different sets of sheets (all were 400TC Sateen Weave). There may have been subtle differences in the name tags, the thread used to sew the seams, the top thread design, shipping container, etc. Other than that, no difference in the way it felt or how I slept. My wallet is the one that felt the difference!! I have received public reviews about my linens on multiple occasions. I now have over 150 sets of these sheets, all in white, in varying sizes. I have never experienced any negative issues, each set consistent as the next. The instructions say to wash them before sleeping on them, do it. I followed the enclosed drying instructions, making sure NOT TO BAKE the sheets on high heat. I do all the laundry for my vacation rental business and I have followed those instructions each and every time I washed them. I wash, on average, 40 sets a week (during the summer its closer to 80). I have had these for almost 2 years and they are softer, and just as beautiful as the day they arrived.

Like some I've been searching for the right sheet set for a few weeks. I've read tons of reviews and will doubt which I should consider. My goal was to find sheets to fit my queen temperpedic mattress (which also has a pillow top). I'm tired of purchasing "deep" or "extra deep" pocketed sheets that I still end up wrestling with to get on the last corner of the bed. I've held my breath as I've tried to stretch it on, my poor fingers pinched in the process, thinking... please don't rip... They eventually always do rip at the seam. I've purchased from one end of the spectrum to the other. From a set at your local wholesaler club to an embarrassing amount on a Vera Wang set. In my searching if I found sheets which claimed to be deep enough to fit my mattress the material of the sheets where a blend and not 100% cotton. Getting 100% cotton is important to me and I've found them to be the most reliable. Some people complain about wrinkles with cotton. This can easily be solved by not overloading your dryer and not over drying your sheets. The company also includes a care card which discusses over drying. At the most some may want to iron their pillow cases. I throw a comforter over my sheets so the minimal wrinkling does not bother me. I haven't had the sheets long enough yet to let you know if pilling happens. In the past if I went for too high a thread count I would a end up seeing pilling. I know 400 doesn't seem high for some but these sheets were surprisingly soft and silky before and after washing. They are not stiff or loud. Elastic goes around the entire fitted sheet which includes a "foot" tag for easy identification of the corners. The pictures I've taken include before and after washing. I have plenty of room with the fitted sheet, no more pinched fingers! I would say they could easily fit a mattress thicker than mine around 15in. (18in might be stretching it). I am happy with my purchase and will be buying more. (The last picture is after washing, the wrinkles in the other pictures is before washing)

I am so very happy with these sheets! The price is right, the color is beautiful and true to the description, the textile is certified Oeko-tex which is always good, and they’re 100% cotton, NOT microfiber (which I can’t stand because I overheat.)I washed them and after a long washing then drying cycle, they’re just slightlywrinkled, which I don’t mind.They also fit very well over my 12 in. foam mattress and I did not have to fight with it to fit it on the corners.I am buying a second set right now.

While much better than dust-attracting, chintzy microfiber sheets and a fair deal for the money, these sheets are hardly top quality, lacking the cool crispness of Percale and other top cotton sets. However, washing these sheets in baking soda with white vinegar in the rinse cycle and drying in low heat or air drying smooths out the sheets after repeated washings. Treating these with care will yield good results.

I've bought dozens of products on Amazon and have never had an issue until now. How can this product have so many positive reviews? Once was decent quality but now they've switched fabrics? I just learned the hard way that 400 thread count doesn't really matter -- you can still end up with sheets that feel like sandpaper with fabric is so thin you can see through it. They seem to know their fabric is uncomfortable and rough. The inside packaging says "wash before use to unlock softness". Well guess what? Washing makes no difference at all. Very disappointed.

I just received these yesterday. I washed them and after taking them out of the dryer I was so impressed with the feel and quality.I made my bed and being that it was a warm night it provided the opportunity to test them to see if I would feel too warm. It was a cool comfortable experience and had a perfect sleep in my new sheets!Thanks for this great product!Update: another customer said there was a discrepancy of where the sheets were made, India or China. According to the picture above they’re made in India. If it says China on the box, perhaps that’s where they were packaged.

The first thing I did when I opened the package was checking for loose threads, which is a sign of poor quality. There were none so I proceeded to checking the hems, which were perfectly even and strong. Then into the washed on cold to get the sizing off, Rhein dried them on medium heat. They came out of the dryer, felt much softer, and hardly any wrinkles. They fit my Kingsize bed perfectly. I’m very happy with this purchase.
