Luxurious 300-Thread-Count Egyptian Cotton 300TC Sheet Set, California King, Ivory Solid 300 TC

This is an excellent business with great customer service that handle returns very well.However, when buying sheets do not be fooled by thread count. Thread count is the number of threads in one inch vertically and horizontally. Ply is the number of strands in one thread. A 1200 TC single ply will probably be thinner than a 800 TC double ply sheet. These are single ply sheets.You might want to think of TC and ply (roughly) this way. Using 1/4 inch thread the TC would be 4 in length and 4 in width or a sheet with a TC of 8. The sheet would be 1/4 inch thick.Using a 1/8 inch thread you would have 8 threads each and the sheet would have a TC or 16. The sheet would be 1/8 inch thick. It would also be 1/2 as thick as the sheet with a lower thread count. So the lower TC sheet would be much thicker than the sheet with a higher thread count.Single ply sheets with high thread counts result in thin sheets with excellent drape that are cool in hot summer months.Double ply sheets result in thicker sheets with excellent wear and durability and are warm in winter months.These my friend are nice single ply sheets, they are not thick, should be cool to sleep on and have good drape.If your looking for thicker sheets you might be well served to look at a 800 TC double ply sheet. They are available here on Amazon. If you read my other reviews, you will find them.These are nice sheets. They are not thick sheets.

The fabric is exactly what you would expect from 1200 thread count cotton - beautiful. Unfortunately, the quality ends there. I ordered 2 sets of these sheets sets. That includes 4 pillowcases. Every pillowcase was a different width. They ranged from 18 1/4" to 19 1/2" wide; none were the full 20" in the description. This is before washing. Yes, they do go on my queen sized pillows, however they make the pillow into a semi-tube shape and this keeps the pillow from laying nice and flat when you are sleeping. They continually creep into a "tube" shape during the night. The fitted sheets are not for thick mattresses in spite of the seller's description on Amazon. Our mattress is 13" deep and only the corners fit under the mattress. The sides of the sheet do not even reach the edge of the bottom of the mattress much less tuck under. The edges of the pillowcases have long strings where the seam has not been finished off properly. When I contacted the seller advising him that the quality control is not satisfactory he said he is at the mercy of the supplier. This was my second sets of these sheets (the first 2 sets were also not deep enough for a thick mattress despite the description) and were supposedly from his "best supplier". Apparently this company uses more than one supplier, and I am guessing that is why the reviews differ for the same product. The seller is quite responsive in offering to exchange or give a discount on the items, - however, you will have to pay return shipping - but, when there are still problems it becomes a disappointing, frustrating, expensive project that I am unwilling to work on. I would not buy these sheets again, nor would I recommend them to others for the reasons outlined.

not sure how this is Cotton let alone 'Egyptian Cotton' .. texture is rough..wake up sweaty, washed it to no avail.. Don't bother.. if quality is inconsistent (provided all the reviews are honest) then getting a good one must be like winning the lottery.. Wanted to return it to seller, but no response.. will use it as a rag for cleaning, I wonder if that would be 'absorbent'.. if this material is real cotton, I would be very surprised ..Update 12/16Almost 4 years later. My favorite sheets.. after several washes it is soft yet thick enough. I don't know why it felt like wool/ synthetic first few washes. I wash all my linens in hot water, and dry in high heat, and I use Chlorine bleach too. I know that's an overkill, but its a habit, I don't mind. So back to improve my star rating from 1 to 4. The minus one star is b/c it took several washes to realize this set's exquisite softness and quality.

My first set of these sheets were just what I was looking for, heavy, well made 100% Cotton sheets, perfect for warmer and humid climates, as we have in Georgia.They become softer as they are used and washed, shrinking is not an issue or bunching up at the seams, in addition they will fit the new thicker mattress'. I should stress that these are not microfiber sheets, I honestly can't see how anyone can like microfiber, I ordered a set of J S Sanders sheets advertised as 100% cotton but upon receiving them I discovered that they must be some type of synthetic material as they were non-absorbent, also you can see right through them, I just checked the listing again and I'm surprised to see them are getting a decent rating. I sent the sheets back and the seller (The Comfort Zone) promptly sent my refund, actually the seller was very good about the entire issue. I am about to order another set of sheets from this company, The Egyptian Cotton Factory Outlet , my first set was ordered in July 2011 and I was surprised to see that they are still available, will update this review upon receiving this next set.

The sheets are great but I only have it a 4 star rate because I read up on the description of the sheets before buying and it said they were thinner so I thought they would be good for summer time. They are nice and I like the sheets but in my opinion they are on the thicker side of sheets. They aren't really thick, but they aren't thin either. So I feel they could have been a little more accurate in the description. Do have a nice smooth feel and are crisp and comfortable.

At first the sheets felt smooth and luxurious, however after a few washings, they became thin and not as smooth on the skin. They do fit my 18" pillow top thick mattress well and do not slide off. Made well. I doubt seriously they are 1200 thread count! There is no way!
