California Design DenLuxury Soft Deep Pocket Sheet Set, 400 Thread Count 100% Cotton Sheets & Pillowcase Set for Queen Size Bed, Cooling Sheets, 4 Pc Grey (Slate Grey)

I really LOVE these sheets.When I first moved out on my own, I was gifted a set of Egyptian cotton sheets. Although I knew they were high quality (because the gifter told me so), I knew nothing about sheets and took them for granted.I bought more sheets only to find that microfiber sheets are not the same (they don't feel the same, or even smell the same)! Neither are the 1800 thread count ones you find in the stores. Eventually and sadly I had to replace my Egyption cotton ones, but I couldn't find a good set until I found these.These sheets feel so soft and smooth, I'm sooo happy I found them because I really miss my old set.The deep pocket fit is perfect b/c it completely covers my mattress and the elastic goes all the way around so that it actually is a fitted sheet and doesn't slip off of the corners of your mattress.I feel like I should stock up in case they disappear. I really love these sheets!

I just got these in the mail, and I wanted to review my initial reaction to these sheets. This is a long review, but I feel it necessary, so grab a snack and let's go! Pictures are attached for your viewing pleasure!I went back and forth for over an hour, reading reviews and trying to decide if I wanted to give these sheets a shot or not. I almost didn't buy them 1. Because of all the terrible reviews, and 2. Because of the price. $35 for a 100% cotton sheets would make anyone that knows sheets question why. When companies are advertising their 100% cotton sheets for $300 a set, you tend to be skeptical at the $30-$50 price point. Now I'm sure those $300 sheets are amazing, but crap that's a lot of money for sheets! Plus I feel a lot of the time you're paying more for the name, than the product itself. But, the reviews on this product held the most weight in my indecisiveness. Most of the bad reviews I read were from years ago (2016), so I weeded through them until I found more recent reviews (2019). The most recent reviews were promising, they were definitely better than the older ones.About the sheets themselves... When I opened the shipping box I was pleasantly surprised by the packaging. They are protected and secured in a brightly colored cardboard box, with all the company's certifications clearly stated. The sheets themselves are neatly wrapped in tissue paper. I opened the tissue paper, and immediately felt the sheets. Many reviews I read stated they felt as if they were sleeping on sandpaper. I tend to take those reviews with a grain of salt because microfiber is super soft, and it dominates in the sheets/textiles industry now. We have been conditioned to like it. My issues with microfiber sheets are: they tend not to last very long, they stain easily, they don't breathe pwell, and my biggest issue... they're made of synthetic materials like plastic and/or wood pulp. Straight face emoji. Microfiber is soft, more like a suede, it's lightweight, doesn't wrinkle or shrink, and it's reasonably priced. Awesome! All my sheets up until this point have been microfiber. Cotton on the other hand is more crisp, it breathes, stands the test of time and use, and its all natural (great for those with allergies). Cotton sheets crinkle. You can audibly hear the difference between it and microfiber. We always had cotton sheets growing up, and I missed the crisp, cool feel when I'd slip into bed. Though they aren't as "soft" as microfiber, they absolutely do not feel like sandpaper. My husband actually thought they were a little rough as well, but again, he's been sleeping on microfiber his entire adult life. #conditioned. Where I think these sheets were very soft right out of the box, hubby thought they weren't, as others will too. "Soft" is a perception. Everyone has a different definition of what soft is. So I try to be objective about it when making a decision based on reviews. Imo cotton evolves. Think of it like a 100% cotton tshirt. It's stiff and rough when it's brand new, but gets better and softer as it's worn and washed. Cotton also requires more care than other materials. Cotton wrinkles easily, just like a tshirt, and it requires more care than synthetic materials. As long as you follow the care instructions though, they should soften, and hold up well. When it comes to breathing... microfiber does not in my experience. Even though it is moisture wicking, it seems to trap body heat. My husband is an extremely hot sleeper. He runs hot in general. He'll hang one of his feet off the bed while sleeping to help regulate his body temperature because he overheats in the microfiber sheets. Cotton will help in this aspect.On we go...After feeling the sheets, I then inspected the hems. There were a few reviews saying the sewing was terrible, and they had several loose threads. All edges are hemmed very well, and there's not one loose thread. Not one, and I looked. The sewing is uniform throughout the sheets and pillow cases. The elastic in the fitted sheet is thick, and the tags inside telling you direction is incredibly helpful. I am thoroughly impressed with these sheets so far. They're 100% cotton sheets for a very reasonable price. I'm going to throw them in the washer right now (hello gentle cycle that I only use for my unmentionables), and we'll see how they hold up over time. Even if they don't last that long, at this price, it's not that big of a deal. I ordered white in queen size. For those thinking about buying color and the reviews pertaining to color, here's what I'm thinking... these may not be color fast, as is the case with other things 100% cotton. For those reviews about spots on their white sheets, honestly those could be burn spots from the dryer. You can burn cotton with your dryer. Who knew and has totally done that? Hi, me! If you're not wanting to put a lot of time into your sheets, then microfiber will be your best bet. But I encourage everyone to give cotton a try. Cotton was the industry standard years ago, but we've moved away from that in favor of synthetic materials. Try to stay open minded about it, and remember we're human. We can adapt to anything! What's rough to you today, won't necessarily be rough to you in the future 😉 Happy Z's Y'all!The product is exactly as described, and arrived in the time stated.

I initially bought a King bed sheet set only and I love it so much that I had to buy the same sheets for all the beds in the house. This is the only brand we use now.It gets softer after every wash and the thickness is just right. As for wrinkles, you have to remove from the dryer promptly so there’s no wrinkles but I always do that anyway with all my laundry so it works for me.I bought the bright white one and have already used bleach on it. So far so good, it doesn’t change into a dingy or yellowish tinge like some fabric.It is summer right now and I can say that under a quilt it is very comfortable. We are in-love with this sheets!

**update**It’s been one full. Still adore these sheets! They’ve been in my weekly sheet rotation since I bought them, and washed sooo many times, and they still look brand new. And still feel amazing. No pilling; no signs of wear; not even the elastic on the fitted sheet has wavered. These are good quality!**original review**Okay, y’all, I’m a sheet snob. I prefer the super-snappy, thousand (or higher)-thread-count, long staple cotton, creme de la creme of sheets. These sheets do not meet *ALL* of those elements, but they come pretty darn close; they meet the best/most important of them.They *ARE* very snappy; they *ARE* 100% cotton; and they *ARE* long-staple cotton. But of course they are only 400 threadcount. But, to me, if they meet the first two elements, the third is not a deal-breaker!As someone who worked in textiles for quite a while, let me tell y’all this: if I had to choose between a high thread count and natural/quality material, I choose MATERIAL, hands down! Natural material (i.e., cotton) equals quality. It’s better for your skin, it makes you sweat less, and if it’s truly high-quality, it only gets better with age (like your favorite worn-out sweatshirt).Here’s the thing: what I’ve found lately is that most retailers (even the so-called “high end” ones) do not carry high quality sheets anymore. Most of them nowadays are labeled “cotton rich,” which is a sneaky way of saying, “made with cotton and other [synthetic] materials.” The product could be only half cotton, but they still get away with calling it “cotton rich.” Very misleading! A lot of people are duped by this; they only pay attention to the high thread count, so they believe they’re paying more for the sheet set because it’s a higher quality product. NOT SO! Let’s face it: it doesn’t matter how high the thread count is if you can’t stand what those threads are made of!And speaking of the thread count, I have bad news: often, you’re actually only getting half of whatever thread count it says you’re getting. Look closely at those expensive “high thread count” sheets you find at Macy’s and Dillard’s, for example. They often say in the fine print something like, “Woven with two ply yarn to achieve total thread count.” That basically means they connect two pieces of yarn to achieve “one thread.” So an 800 thread count sheet set is really only 400 thread count (and probably half—or more—of those threads are synthetic!). That means you’re basically getting half (or less?) of the quality for twice the price. Lucky you, huh? *eye roll*It’s actually very difficult to find 100% cotton sheets anymore, let alone cotton sheets that are high thread count. It seems that you can have one or the other, but not both. Oddly enough, the only place I’ve been able to find high thread count sheets that are 100% cotton is Walmart!Anyway, I can tell by touching a fabric whether it’s synthetic or not, and these sheets, my friends, are the real deal. They ARE 100% cotton. I was actually skeptical at first because of how smooth they were (as most cotton sheets will be rough when they’re brand new, and sometimes even wrinkled right out of the box). These sheets felt amazing right out of the box, which made me examine them very closely; turns out, they’re just combed really well. They’re awesome. They did wrinkle a bit after washing/drying them, which is a good sign. I actually can’t believe they’re not more expensive (if the company is reading this, don’t raise the price, please!).That brings me to my next point: those of you griping about wrinkles in your reviews . . . REALLY!? Have you ever had ANYTHING cotton?! My guess is no (a sad sign of the generation, honestly). Because if you’d had any experience with REAL cotton (or any natural fabric, really), you’d know that IT WRINKLES! In fact, for me, a good sign of a high quality product is that it wrinkles! If the sheet is super smooth right out of the package; and after washing and drying it, it still remains smooth, then there is something else—something wrinkle-resistant—besides cotton in the material of the sheet (this is what I was talking about above with people being duped into paying more for lesser quality).THE ONLY COMPLAINT I have about these sheets is that they might not really be “deep pocket.” For me, that’s not a problem because my mattress isn’t that tall, even with the memory foam topper on it. But even with a relatively thin mattress, the sheets are rather taut. I would not recommend these sheets for anyone who has a super thick mattress or pillow top!Overall, I totally recommend these sheets (with the above-mentioned exception). I fell in love with them the first night I slept on them. I’ll be buying more for sure!

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.

After purchasing a new split king adjustable bed from Amazon we needed new sheets, and these seem to fit the bill perfectly. When we initially received the sheets, we thought they were quite thin but used them anyway. For the first 3 months we were satisfied until we noticed the material on one fitted sheet was beginning to tear in the centre of the sheet. The material was just coming apart. As it was too late to return the product, we had a seamstress attempt repair. The sheet just started to part or tear in a different location. Examining the second set we purchased we found that the material was showing signs of stress and most likely will fail soon.We found the durability of this product to be deficient. Especially knowing we have sheets that have been in constant use for 20 plus years and still look new.We purchase, at least for us, a high volume of goods from Amazon and for the most part have been very satisfied with our purchases. I don’t believe we have ever written a negative review and view many of them with some scepticism. However as we have no means of contacting the seller or manufacturer directly our only recourse was to try and help others from making the same mistake of purchasing this product.

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 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.
