HOMESCAPESNavy Blue Pure Egyptian Cotton Duvet Cover Set Super King 200 TC 400 Thread Count Equivalent 2 Pillowcases Included Quilt Cover Bedding Set

Decent quality bedding, nothing fancy but good value for money, washes easily and no faff.

Great quality fabric. Good stitching and perfect fit.

I have recently purchased a complete set of Egyptian Cotton 200 Thread Count sheets (1 fitted sheet, 1 flat sheet, 1 duvet cover & 2 pillow cases) for my new King Size, 25 cm thick Memory Foam Mattress. My first impression? 100% average. Maybe my expectations were too high, maybe the product's description was over-emphasized and uplifted my expectations to an unrealistic level, maybe what I have read about Egyptian Cotton (and trust me, I've done hours and hours of research before deciding to order) simply wasn't met by these sheets.Whatever the case, they seemed the best option for the money (£61.96 a complete set, together with the postage and packing fees), since I really wanted to buy black sheets. The order arrived quickly, so I can't complain about that. However, from the moment I started unpacking, I noticed that one of the three plastic cases with buttons (in which the sheets were neatly packed) was completely torn to pieces! I was lucky enough that the sheets weren't damaged.Secondly, very soon afterwards, when I took a closer look at the labels sewn on the sheets, I observed that all of them stated different things than the outer package: these sheets are advertised as "Machine washable at 60° Celsius", whereas some of the inner labels read very clearly that they should be washed at a temperature no higher than 40° Celsius. Thirdly, their sewn labels read "100% Cotton", and not "Egyptian Cotton" as I would've expected. What a disappointment! This is just too amateurish: they could have bothered to fake the labels, and leave their customers with the impression - even if it would've been just placebo - that they have bought Egyptian Cotton sheets, and feel better about their purchase in the end.But no, the label on the outer package says something ("100% Egyptian Cotton"), while the inner label speaks loud and clear: plain cotton, people! 100% plain. I cannot begin telling you how disappointed I was by these discrepancies, especially since I have also bought another set of 100% Egyptian Cotton sheets (white, 400 Thread Count, from a well known seller), and their labels stated clearly "100% Egyptian Cotton".Some of you might think I'm overreacting. While I am aware that I tend to be over-critical sometimes, I also tend to be a rational buyer at least 95% of the times, and when I pay for Egyptian Cotton, that's what I expect to receive. 200 Thread Count or not, I wasn't interested in plain cotton sheets - I have plenty of those and I wanted to upgrade them.Moreover, as some customers already noticed, you can literally see through them. Being "100% Egyptian Cotton", I would've expected them to be a little thicker. I mean, it's true, they keep you warm (they really do), but they are far thinner than expected. Another downside of these sheets (which I have also found mentioned by some other customers, and apparently they were true) was the smell: my God, they really smelled unbearably... I had to wash them the day I've received them, to get rid of that stench. This wasn't necessarily an issue, apart from the fact that these sheets were needed on the bed ASAP (the new bed was bigger than the old one, so none of the old bed linen fitted). They wash well, I give you that, and provided the fact that you don't use too much laundry detergent, they don't get stained at all (as black usually tends to). I have washed them at 40° C, choosing the lowest temperature of the two stammered values.Some "technical" aspects now: the fitted sheet (elasticated all over) did not wrap up my mattress entirely, leaving a 2 cm line on one side uncovered, although both the sheet and the mattress are King Size (as I mentioned in the beginning of this review, my mattress is 25 cm thick). I have tried another fitted sheet from another company, and the other one fits perfectly. Regarding the pillow cases, they are sewn quite poorly: kind of obliquely, definitely not straight, cause I cannot get them to stay properly on the pillows.So, to sum it up: these are comfortable sheets (one sleeps well in them), they keep you warm, being black they offer a modern look to your bedroom, they wash well (at 40° C!), and they also feel ok at touch - soft and nice, in my opinion. However, I believe I am rather indulgent by giving them 3 stars of out 5: they are thinner than expected (you can literally see through them), I tend to believe they are just plain cotton (in fact, the label itself says "100% Cotton"), they smell horrendous upon arrival and you must wash them immediately, and the general overall impression is just... average.I can safely say I will not buy again. However, if your budget is limited and you don't want to spend more than £65 on a complete set of comfortable black sheets, then maybe these "100 Egyptian Cotton" ones are what you're looking for. In my opinion, they weren't what I was looking for.

Absolutely love this set . Super comfy and washes really well . I hang this over the landing banister to dry flat and not a crinkle in sight !

Lovely fabric I order a king only came with 1 standard pillow case which was annoying contacted seller sent me an extra but they sent a king size pillow case, had to contact them again for another. They sorted it but situation was annoying

The colour range is too limited otherwise I would have bought more. Overall a good quality bed set and the cotton washes and dries well.

Rarely do I post reviews, however this is a third bedding set I have from this brand, and it is amazing.The colour does not fade with time and washing, it is well made, great quality, and comfortable to sleep in.It is really affordable coparing to other products on the market. I could not reccomend this enough, and I will certainly be buying more colours.

Lovely material but I ordered soft grey and it’s more like a pale green so doesn’t match my curtains, nice to sleep in though
