It's difficult to find nice black sheets, so I was thrilled to find these and in a 1200 thread count on top of it! I put white vinegar in the first wash to set the color and it's held fast. And they just keep getting softer and softer! My husband just commented again about how much he enjoys them. Customer service also five star!these sheets are very soft, at the same time heavy. they are also comfortable to crawl into bed at the end of a long day. the black is a nice deep, dark black, so i was pleased that it was as advertised. my only complaint is that they get extremely wrinkled after taking them out of the dryer, i'm not sure if all high thread count sheets do this, but i guess i will invest in an iron.
i experienced great customer service shopping though this retailer, my sheets got lost in transit upon leaving the warehouse, and i notified the vendor about the delay i was experiencing and he was very prompt and immediately reshipped my package. A+
overall, these sheets are a good investment if you got money to spend for sleeping like a king.These are awesome. I literally just got these, super soft and very comfy looking. I threw them in the washer and can't wait to sleep on them tonight!
As for the bad review, there is no where in the description that says it is a full bedding set. Its a sheet set. It comes with the sheet for the bed, the mattress cover, and two pillow cases.
Also, the price is FANTASTIC for these sheets! Last I saw at Bed, Bath, & Beyond something similar to these were 200 dollars! I was super stoked to see how cheap these were especially for such nice quality!These sheets are not soft at all. I tried to wash them multiple times but it didn't help. The thread count on these have to be wrong.Summary: This sheet set falls incredibly short of 1200 Thread Count (TC) sheets. But what I despised most was that these Black sheets are a magnet for dust and other dirt particles. The sheets look horrible and dirty even after a washing. These sheets do not compare to any of my other 1000+ Thread Count sheets. They are simply too light to have the required thread count density.
The new sheet set did NOT have the weight or stiffness typical of new high thread count sheets. In fact, when I held the bed sheet up in a sunlit room, I could see through it. It was more of a veil then a bed sheet. I am sure that they are not lying (I like to believe in humanity) about the 1200 TC, it is just not calculated as we expect. While I am no expert on sheet density, I think these sheets could be single ply thread spun into 600 by 600 square inch [(600+600)*1=1200]; or it could be 2-ply thread spun into 300 by 300 sq inch; or 3-ply thread spun into 200 by 200 sq inch; or 4-ply thread spun into 150 by 150 sq inch; and etc. Sure this satisfies the marketing claim but it is no 1200 TC sheet for customer's who know what to expect. In my opinion, the sheets seem comparable to other 200-300 thread count sheets I have bought at a fraction of the cost of these sheets.
Since, I am a typical man and do not return items, I used the 1200 THREAD COUNT QUEEN BLACK SOLID EGYPTIAN COTTON SHEET SET BRAND NEW 1200 THREAD COUNTsheets. Then I noticed how, everyday, more dust and threads from my blanket were sticking to the sheets. It seemed like I bought a very large Swifter sheet. So I washed them, and now they look like they have Chicken Pox. There are little fur balls everywhere. I do not want to put the sheets on my bed for fear of coughing up a fur ball every morning. So this set is useless now. Also, I found the pillow cases to fit tightly for my standard feather pillows.
A positive note is that these light sheets are great on warm nights.
Good luck on your hunt for high caliber, high thread count sheets that do not break the bank.
