 Good price for great sheets April 10, 2007
69 out of 71 found this review helpful
These sheets are smooth and comfortable; however, the fabric is thick and substantial, so if you like your sheets cuddly-soft, maybe you won't care for these. I'm one of those people who can't stand to have wrinkles and folds under my feet, so I've fallen in love with them; the fabric will hold up all week without getting stretched, loose, and tangly. I do wish they had done an extra row of stitching on the elastic of the fitted sheet, but at this price I suppose you can't have everything--and if it becomes necessary, I do have a needle-----somewhere-----I think.
I like the café color very much--it's a rich gold, deeper and not as yellow as the golds of yesteryear. The sheets launder well; if you take them out of the dryer promptly and iron just the top hem (Iron an entire sheet? I don't think so.), the whole set looks smooth and inviting.
So I'm very pleased. Now if I could just get my husband to let me tuck in the sheets at the bottom of his side of the bed, life would be good.
 Lovely color, but stiff... February 21, 2007

These are a great price for a sheet set; I bought them in merlot and they're a deep wine color; however, they're a little stiff (so much so that my elbows got a bit chaffed from rolling over at night). They're definitely worth the price, but they're not my favorite set. I'll continue to wash them to see if they get softer with time.
The burgundy color sheets were thick but pliable. March 3, 2007

I bought these sheets in a gold box deal for a great price. Last week I bought a 100% Cotton Sateen 600 thread count sheet set from Linens and Things too for the same great price using their 20% discount coupon. In comparing the 2 sets the Linen and Things sheets seem different - they are "Made in China" and while this Renaissance set is "Made in India". These were more pliable than the other sheets which made me wonder about how can the finish be so different. A website for luxury linen company clarified things. "Thread counts aren't the be-all and end-all when it comes to sheets you love to touch. Softness depends more on the quality of the fiber, which is why a 200-thread-count fine cotton sheet can have a softer `hand' or feel than a 400-thread-count sheet that uses an inferior grade of cotton or a twisted thread. Fine linens begin with fine cotton, and the quality of the cotton depends on the lengths of the individual fibers, or staples-the longer the staple, the better the cotton...100 percent Egyptian cotton [is] acknowledged as the best quality, longest-staple cotton in the world. The way in which fabric is woven also has an effect on its feel, cotton sateen sheets, for example, are softer than those with a classic linen weave. A satin weave has more warp threads on the top surface, resulting in a silk-like touch and appealing luster. Which is better? It's a matter a personal taste; some people prefer the crispness of a linen weave, others like the softness of the satin. In the US, many types of sheeting are chemically finished to keep them smooth. Some consumers may prefer more natural options. In Israel and India, sheeting is machine calendared-which means it is smoothed in rollers. This type of finish wears longer than a chemical finish. So I think the difference may have been in the quality of cotton used and the method of finishing. I preferred the L&T sheets based on more "cottony" than "satiny" feel but that is just personal preference.
 After Three Washes, Starts Pilling June 26, 2007

Despite this being a 600 thread count set, it only took three washes to start pilling. This should not happen with a set like this.
Different sizes - Different Quality March 2, 2007

I ordered a king set and a queen set. The queen sheets are unbelieveably soft, luxurious, and overall wonderful. There is a little satin trim along the top edge of the sheet.
The king sheets DON'T have the satin trim, and they are not nearly as soft. The fabric is a little stiff and kinda heavy.
The two sizes are definitely different products. I wrote Amazon about it and they offered to refund my money. I have already washed the sheets, so I may just wash them some more with more softener and hope for the best. They are still a good value for the cost, but I'm surprised at the total difference in the two sets.
