Linen Home 100% Cotton Percale Sheets Queen Size, Silver, Deep Pocket, 4 Pieces Set - 1 Flat, 1 Deep Pocket Fitted Sheet and 2 Pillowcases, Crisp Cool and Strong Bed LinenOEKO-TEX STANDARD 100

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.

I believe that this is a good quality percale sheet. Being percale - yes, it is going to have a bit of "wrinkle" - but that is part of the crispness of percale and is why it floats on your skin and feels cool rather than hug your skin like microfiber coverings do. I like that about percale. However, it is not really as smooth as I was hoping, although I do at least feel confident it won't "pill" - because percale just doesn't pill. From what I have read, it takes awhile for percale to become what I would call truly SMOOTH. For some reason, washing smooths out the fibers I guess. So, I am waiting. I AM very particular about sheets - and it could be that what I want doesn't exactly exist! But I seem to remember that I DID have a sheet that was percale and felt from the first day smoother than this one does. ...although, it began to rip apart after a few years. I've had a couple percale sheets do that. I mean- long tears in the sheet, just out of the blue it would seem. Would I buy this sheet again? Not if I could really and truly find a percale that was silky smooth to begin with.

I always yearn for those old sheets from the 60's 70's, even 80's. The ones my grandmother had from decades before, still in use. Granted, when I am able to read the tags, there's a good bit of polyester, but the old kind, not what we see now. The sheets were definitely percale, smooth and crisp, lasting for ages.200 thread count, I believe is what the package said, and I raised my eyebrows because we have been conditioned to think the higher thread count means the better sheet. NOT SO! Quality cotton is grwon fo the long threads it produces. There is no need to pack a heavy thread count into a sheet to protect shorter cotton fibers.Basically, quality materials means quality and durability.Do I care about a few wrinkles? No Way!These are good sheets.

These sheets are very crisp. Since it is hard to find percale sheets, that is what we were looking for.. However, they do not fit a super twin which is why we ordered it (from the description). It would most likely fit a regular twin if that is what you need, and are looking for percale.

I love cotton from India so I like these sheets. The color is a little off putting...more of a liver pink than a soft pink. just my preference, not causing me to return them.

I’m a hot sleeper and these sheets definitely help. I also like how they are snug and stay on the mattress. But they are not wrinkle free.

I've been looking for crisp sheets, like those my mother had back in the day. High thread count produces linens that are as limp as an old hanky. Yes, these need to be ironed a bit (not contour sheets and only hems of flat sheets)....pillowcases need to be ironed the first couple of times. The price was unbelievable for the Queen size set. I bought two sets for a little more than $75 total. It was a sale and I definitely took advantage of it.....

Ordered king size to use on our Olympic Queen mattress, knowing there would be extra width to tuck in. There's only an few inches to tuck in the sides of the fitted sheet & the top sheet is only a little bit wide, so I'm wondering if this size would be too narrow for a king. The sheets are nice & thick. Don't expect wrinkle-free sheets after washing. If it's important for you to have smooth sheets you'll have to iron them. I have sensitive skin & these are scratchy on my face so I use a different pillow case. Spouse says they're fine for him.

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

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!

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.

Not as crisp and thick as I thought they’d be. Will see how they will stand up to wear and if they pill at all ( only have washed them twice so far). Yes they do wrinkle, but that doesn’t bother me too much, I’d rather they were crisper.
