We decided to give them a try anyway, and they were a huge disappointment. The sheets seem to have two "sides" to themone side is very soft, almost more like jersey material, and the other side is this weird scratchy satin-type material. Since the scratchy satin side is totally uncomfortable to sleep against, we figured the soft side was the "correct" side.
The sheets sleep very warm, and don't have that nice cool feeling that good egyptian cotton sheets have. They also seem very thin and cheaply made, and after we had already taken them out of the packaging and washed them, we noticed a rip in the fitted sheet, and several brown stains. I guess we can't prove they arrived that way, since we didn't see this until after we washed them, but our washer/dryer has never stained anything else before, and certainly hasn't ripped anything!! So, they either arrived ripped and stained, or are made so poorly that one wash ruined them.
Either way, I would never recommend these sheetsI guess you get what you pay for.My mother ordered these off my wishlist for Christmas. The listing is for 1200 thread count Egyptian Cotton sheets. What came had a label reading "1500 Thread Count 100% Egyptian Cotton". After washing them, I noticed on the top sheet a label that read "100% Microfibers". Microfibers ARE NOT Egyptian Cotton. The seller, Mundo de Ofertas offered an apology in an email reply to my own, stating that "My competitor BESPOLITAN changed the listing description to give himself an unfair competitive edge. We would be happy to buy you the same sheets from BESPOLITAN himself to show what he is selling JS Sanders Microfiber sheets. We are not Pro Merchants like BESPOLITAN so we didn't change the ad description nor can we, but the listing did not say the sheets are 100% cotton. There are sellers who blatantly say the sheets are 100% cotton like The12c_us and Choice Linen who know they are deceiving customers. We have reported them to Amazon to no avail. We have reported BESPOLITAN to Amazon for changing the listing description."
It is Mundo de Ofertas that is selling the JS Sanders Microfiber sheets. Not just BESPOLITAN. If there is a way for suppliers to change the listing descriptions, then there is no such thing as an Amazon guarantee. It's an awful way to do business.
Don't be duped. Don't buy from Bespolitan or from Mundo de Ofertas.The sheet set is advertised as "Includes 2 FREE! Bonus Pillow cases". It does NOT. When I questioned it I got this reply:
-------
Please forgive. There was a listing error. These do not have the two bonus pillow cases, but they do cost less.
I thought we had contacted everyone by email that ordered, and give them a chance to let me cancel the order or ship. Somehow your order was overlooked on the emails.
When selling on Amazon you list under someelse's listing when an item is already listed by someone else. You just try to stay under their price in order to sell more. Our Computer Person only saw the "4pc Set" listed and overlooked the "2 Bonus Pillow Cases" We can not get extra pillow cases.

They did refund me $10, but I bought this set because it included the extra pillow cases. For what it's worth, that was 2 weeks ago and they still haven't bothered to correct the advertisement.I had a feeling these sheets might be too good to be true (i.e. the low price for "1200 TC" KIng sheets). First of all, the listing here says "1200", but the product label on the packaging of sheets I actually received says "1500 TC" --my first clue that something may not be 'right'. But whether 1200 or 1500 TC, the sheets absolutely feel more like 200, 300 or 400TC at the most! They are very, very thin, transparent, and feel & look cheaply made, especially the flat sheet. In addition, the fitted and flat sheet were 2 totally different shades of bronze (the color I ordered). It even looks like they came from two different sets altogether. On the 'mouth' of the pillowcases there is a decorative piping design, yet the lapel of the flat sheet has none (the top of the sheet where a decorative accent would normally be). --Which also leads to my suspicion that the flat sheet came from a totally different set! I've never bought a sheet set where the pillowcases and flat sheet didn't have a matching decorative accent. (*also, the listing here for the King sheet set says it comes with 2 'standard' pillowcase'; I was mislead because the pillowcases in the set I received were actually King size pillows. Had I known they were actually king size I wouldn't have spent the extra money on the matching king pillowcases that I have still yet to receive). Ugh. I ended up being extremely disappointed about something I was so excited to receive. :(If you are looking for natural fibers, these are not. It says cotton but they are not cotton, 100% synthetic. I wouldn't mind it if at least they would give you the option to decide instead of advertising it as what it is not. Deceiving.
