Linen Home 100% Cotton Percale Sheets California King Size, White, Deep Pocket, 4 Pieces Set - 1 Flat, 1 Deep Pocket Fitted Sheet and 2 Pillowcases, Crisp Cool and Strong Bed Linen

So I am not the only one who remembers the crisp cotton percale sheets mother used to buy. I was buying microfiber sheets because they were easy to care for and were less expensive but needed to replace the fitted sheets constantly because my husband (restless sleeper with rough heels) would cause holes. Plus I did not like how they felt. I bought these fitted sheets so I could use the rest of the sheet set. I loved the feel of the fitted sheet and they have lasted much longer than the microfiber sheets did. I knew when it was time to buy a full set I would come back and buy these. They are not soft like microfiber; they are crisp, which are how they are supposed to feel, and comfortable. They do wrinkle. It helps if you immediately take them out of the dryer. Mom used to line dry them. LOL Not doing that! Not ironing either. I will deal with the wrinkles. These will be my go to sheets from now on.

I've grown to love white bed sheets, white bath towels, white bath mats, white hand towels, white dish towels, white cleaning towels, and white linens in general - why?Bleach.Bleach is your friend in this new age. While I love the environment too, the EPA rules have had some unintended consequences that have really played havoc for us all. In order to reduce water consumption, laundry can't be fully submerged in the new EPA prescribed limited fill allowance of water for washing machines (set by the EPA) unless you have an HE FRONT LOADING machine that turns them on their side and there is no way to fix this with modern top loading machines. Add to that, in order to reduce energy consumption, hot water is no longer really hot - and let's face it...there are times you need that water to be hot. I have 4 kids... Just use your imagination. If you happen to have a tankless water heater, you never...ever...get even warm water into the washer itself because the water pull isn't on long enough to activate the tankless water heater to churn out hot water...so in winter you are washing everything in ice cold water. Some machines have internal water heaters through an allergy cycle, or you can add stand-alone water heaters or run a dishwasher simultaneously or send some random kid to the showers...the point is...there is a real need for bleach in this new environment. And phosphates (sodium tripolyphosphate if you actually want the soap to work and get stains out, and get rid of the heavy metals, and lather, and actually achieve soft laundry again, ...but that's another argument. If you are bored...I wrote it up here...cool read actually.....(https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B01N0QGSSU/ref=ppx_yo_dt_b_search_asin_title?ie=UTF8&psc=1) .Which brings me to this beauty of a find. It took a while to realize why some sheets were prone to pilling and getting 'scratchy" and others were not. Sateen, while soft and lovely, is only good for a short while because the weave of Sateen is prone to pilling. Tossing and turning stress the fibers and catch, creating pulls of fabric. Percale, on the other hand, is not going to do this. This particular weave style is strong and although it does not have quite the same texture of Sateen, you couldn't call it "rough" by any stretch - especially after you wash it...with those phosphates I mentioned. Seriously guys...the phosphates.Pros:- Like the song says..."Soft and white, clean and bright"...these don't disappoint.- Wash them guys. Use fabric softener. And phosphates. Phosphates bind up heavy metals that make materials feel rough. You used to have it in your laundry detergents. Now you only have it in your garden fertilizer - and your food. It's a food additive too. For all you fellow chemists out there (Adenosine Tri-Phosphate - ATP). It's in our..ahem..waste..too. Somehow the EPA is only worried about soap. But hotels, restaurants, and all businesses in general kept it. They all have soft linens. You didn't - and you don't. It's not your fault. Add it back. Just once.- I dislike the word "crisp" for sheets. Crisp is like a cracker. That's just not the descriptor I want for a bed sheet. They are substantial though. Substantial, as in "not paper-thin". When you move them, they are substantial enough that you hear the material ruffling a bit. They are soft, but without the heat retention of sateen. They are cool, but not cold (and it just dipped to freezing last night) and I still woke happy and cozy in my bed sheets...yet interestingly, not sweating which I'm prone to do at times.- Price. The best part of percale? The weave is such that it doesn't "require" the thread count that sateen requires. This is a big deal because the lower thread count is not the indicator of lower quality here. You are unlikely to ever find high thread count percale woven sheets. Well, if the thread count is lower, then material costs are lower, and as such, the final product is actually cheaper.- Deep pockets. They. Aren't. Lying. Seriously. For the first time, I don't have to use corner clasps which break and are a pain to deal with. These have yet to come untucked in any corner. I have an air bed - meaning that there are times when you sit up in the bed and you are really pulling on the sheet at a top corner. These are deep pocketed enough that they don't come untucked, despite the pull.- No issues with bleach. The first thing I did was wash these with Tide (free and clear) + phosphates added, Bleach, and Downy (free an clear) and dried with Bounce Dryer Sheet (Free and clear). There were no issues whatsoever with bleach - and I wouldn't expect there to be with a totally white fabric.Cons:- If you can't stand the thought of wrinkles under a bed comforter but you just know they are there and that's about to drive you insane, then percale is probably not the best idea. I'm not judging. Everybody has their own thing. Having said that, the wrinkles are not such that when you lie down, all that your body feels is "fabric wrinkle". That would be a wrong impression. I'm just saying that it's like a cotton t-shirt folded in a drawer. It's not stiff, but you know it wasn't hung. Will it feel uncomfortable? Nope. Will you see a wrinkle...maybe. Yeah...you will. Will you feel it? No.These are really worth the plunge. I wouldn't hesitate to recommend them (in white) to anyone. I say white, because I can't vouch for the dying process and the color fastness of the other options. With the white, you can't go wrong.

First off, if you're looking for super soft sheets you are looking for SATEEN. THESE ARE PERCALE sheets, which are infinitely more breathable and therefore much cooler than SATEEN.I washed these sheets separately (fitted from flat) in order to minimize wrinkling in the dryer. And that worked pretty well. Pillowcases came out very wrinkled but smoothed out once on the pillows. Same with the sheets. The only downside in my opinion is the edging is very wrinkled and I think going forward I may just run an iron across those. However, the wrinkles don't affect the way they feel. To me, anyway. But I’ve used percale sheets all my life, and I’m used to that. I tried SATEEN once an absolutely hated them.Color:I purchased the lavender and it's lovely. I will most likely buy another set in a different color in the future.Fit:The top sheet is very wide so if there are two of you, you shouldn't have any squabbles over one hogging the whole sheet!! The fitted sheet is very generous in the depth so fat mattresses, like mine, will have no problems. The fit across the top of the mattress is a close fit. Not tight but close. I used warm water and a hot dryer to bring out any problems before the return window closed. So this fit should be what it's going to always be going forward. I'm good with this.Conclusion:I have already recommended these sheets to one friend and will share it with others as well. I think, especially considering the low price, that it's a very good deal. I plan to keep the page bookmarked so that I can buy the green set once it's back in stock.

These sheets are exactly what I was looking for! They fit my mattress great too. The only complaint I have is there’s no tag to tell you the top or bottom of the fitted sheet so you have to play around and figure it out.These sheets are crisp, soft and comfortable! I have always loved percale sheets, I don’t understand why it’s so difficult to find them anymore! I’m very happy that I found these sheets and definitely recommend them if you’re looking for percale sheets!

I don't normally write reviews but these sheets were exactly what I was hoping for. They are crisp, thicker than other sheets I've had and, best of all, they keep me cool enough to sleep longer than I normally do. For anyone who has trouble regulating their body temperature at night, try these!

Neither sheets nor pillowcases are cut properly, therefore seams are not where they should be i.e. pillowcase seams are in on the top and bottom of the pillowcase as opposed to sides. Very difficult to fold.

The only thing is ! I find the pockets a little big but otherwise amazing quality

Too big! We have a king size Tempur-Pedic mattress and these sheets with "deep pockets" are way too deep. They are so loose and so wrinkled. Disappointed for the money.

Not as crisp and thick as I thought they’d be. Will see how they will stand up to wear and if they pill at all ( only have washed them twice so far). Yes they do wrinkle, but that doesn’t bother me too much, I’d rather they were crisper.
