100% Cotton Percale Sheets Full Size, 1 Flat Sheet- Crisp, Cool and Strong Bed Linen, Luxury Breathable Sheet, Baby Blue

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.

I love the crispness of these they're very crisp and soft. They feel luxurious & make sleeping more comfortable. Percale is amazing. They wash and dry well but we're a little wrinkled straight out of the dryer. The pockets are deep enough for my 18-in mattress.

I'm very happy with these sheets overall. I'm a hot sleeper and I just couldn't take the microfiber sheets I had been sleeping under anymore. Rather than spending $150-$200 on a set of percale sheets to only find out later that I didn't care for them, I decided to spend a few dollars less to test them out. I'm glad I did. These sheets keep me cool and are crisp as advertised. Are they 4-star hotel $200 a set crisp and thick? Of course not, but they are also not a flimsy set of sheets nor are they rough on the skin. Do they wrinkle? Of course they do; they are percale. But if you follow the laundering instructions and take them out of the dryer immediately, the wrinkling isn't bad at all. These seem to be very good quality for their price point.The only reason I gave these sheets a 4 instead of a 5 is because the "silver" color I ordered is not silver nor any shade of gray at all. It's more of a light beige. While this annoyed me initially, I decided to keep them anyway as the color worked in the end. I'd still like them to be gray though. They do need to be more accurate with their color descriptions because an unexpected color may not work out for many people.

Review of 100% Cotton Percale Sheets Queen Size, Dark Blue, Deep Pocket, 4 Pieces Sheet Set.I grew up with percale sheets. Percale was the standard and there weren’t many other choices. These days they make sheets out of many different materials. To me, many are too slippery, stretchy, or hot. Percale is crisp and comfortable and worth the money.These sheets arrived quickly and are true to color (as shown on the Amazon page). The construction is good, seems are solid, no loose threads. The percale stays cool and is comfortable on the skin. They look very nice on the bed.It’s easy to spend a lot on a set of sheets, especially percale sheets. These sheets represent a good value on percale sheets. Recommended!

Percale sheets are often misunderstood. I grew up in an home without air conditioning. Percale is a perfect fabric for hot sleepers and hot temps as it has structure and a lovely crispness that doesn't wilt and stick to the skin. I wondered why I couldn't find sheets like I had as a kid, as I didn't realize they were percale.I love that these sheets are NOT embedded with all kinds of chemicals to keep them wrinkle free.Many reviewers noted these sheets were wrinkly after washing. Yes, they will be especially if you use the regular wash cycle. Use a permanent press setting for both washing and drying. And before putting them in the dryer, shake them out and smooth the wrinkles. Don't crowd the dryer. I promise they will come out nicely. But not perfect.Then once on the bed, they smooth further. I'm a Princess and the Pea sleeper. Any wringle or lumps can disturb my sleep and I found that a huge problem with the overly soft, soggy feeling "wrinkle free" sheets that we advertised as luxury.These percale sheets keep me cooler, dryer, and all around they feel and smell fresher. I love them so much, I no longer use any other sheets. I wash and replace them so I'll know soon how well they hold up and then I'll buy more. Highly recommend. It's a kind of luxury most people don't know they're missing.

I bought two and washed in warm water and they fit my queen bottom mattress perfectly. They feel soft and crisp and stay put. The elastic goes all around making for a tight secure fit. They will get softer with every wash. I like that they are white because I can wash with a little bleach to keep them white. I have several sheet sets of different colors but over the years, the bottom sheets wore down and began to tear. These are perfect replacements.

Esperaba que estuviera tamaño California más grande de lo normal para que colgara más de los lados. Buena calidad

Suaves hermosas simplemente más por el precio superó mis expectativas

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!

Luxury feel. Washes well

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