D. Charles Luxury Microfiber Sheets with Near Cotton Finish and 2 Extra Bonus Pillowcases (Stone Blue, Queen)

I am having a really tough time writing a review for these sheets. Here's why:-- I've neither bought nor owned microfiber (polyester) sheets before, only cotton-- I've never bought a whole sheet set for just $20... normally that is the cost of pillowcases--The sheets are not mine; I bought them for my daughters, so this review combines feedback from 3 people, ages 5-41Pros:* Sheets are a PERFECT shade of girly-hot pink. They "go" with the cheap-o $40 princess comforters as well as the nice, quilted coverlet set I purchased for a guest room several years ago. They are neither powdery nor neon. The girls love this color.* Sheets feel very soft and silky after 2 washings. I'll be honest: I have no idea where these sheets were made, how many factories they'd seen before they arrived on my doorstep, etc. Upon unpacking them, I washed them twice in warm water and threw them in the dryer on medium. No pills (yet).* Sheets did not wrinkle. My beloved cotton sheets--even the "wrinkle-free" 600 percale ones, become wrinkled from my washer. Don't know why, that's just the way it is... these sheets did not wrinkle, even after 2 consecutive washings.* Sheets were deep enough for the beds. The other cotton sheets I've bought for their full-size beds were a tight fit and seem to pull up from the sides, exposing the mattress pad. These sheets cover everything.* Elastic all the way around the fitted sheet. Helps keep the sheet on for now.* Stitching is fine... nothing to write home about, but there is nothing wrong with the sewing, either. No loose threads, no missed areas of stitching... The thread matches the sheet material perfectly.Cons:* Sheets are quite thin. I hope they hold up to a lot of tossing and turning.* Sheets are hot. The girls are accustomed to cotton sheets with coverlets even in the summer. They have been kicking off the coverlets every night since we put these sheets on their beds (they won't kick off the sheets, though, because they like the color!)* The elastic around the fitted sheet is very thin... I see a time in our near future when it will be essentially functionless. This is not a big deal since I can just pull it out and replace it with better elastic quite easily.* The standard pillowcases are quite small/short. The girls have average-quality pillows that get washed every so often and replaced every 2 years... I'm glad the set came with 2 extra pillowcases, because I layer the pillowcases (one covering one end of the pillow, the other covering the other end) so the white pillow fabric doesn't show.In a nutshell, these sheets are perfect for kids, teens, and probably even college students. I told my girls to peruse Amazon.com with me and pick out new sheets for their beds, this is what they selected, and they are very happy with them. That being said, I would hesitate to put them on a guest bed, and at this point you would have a hard time getting me to put anything other than cotton sheets (even seriously wrinkled ones) on my bed.

Oh, these are wonderful! I received some Egyptian cotton sheets as a wedding gift, but I was unhappy with them and did not think they felt as soft as Egyption cotton sheets I've had in the past, i.e. they did not feel like they were worth the $400 that they cost. I decided to return them and purchase these instead because of the much more attractive price point. I am so happy I did! They are incredibly soft and comfortable. They do not have the cool, smooth feeling of Egyptian cotton, but rather a very soft, warm, and comforting feel to them (but they are not hot or unbreathable). They make me love sliding into bed at the end of the day! My husband is also enamored with them, and he is the type who could not care less about bedding and sheets so it made me happy to see that he liked them enough to mention. He has since thanked me numerous times for finding these sheets.As others have mentioned, they do feel a bit thin, but it does not make a difference in how soft they are or how well they hold up in the wash. We've already washed them a number of times and they come out feeling just as soft (if not softer) than when we first received them. Since they are so inexpensive, I will most definitely purchase another set to have on hand and would not hesitate to recommend these! In case anyone is wondering, I purchased the sheets in white and they are indeed a true white and not cream, ivory, off-white, etc.UPDATE: It is now approximately 6 months later and I have changed my review from 5 stars to 2 stars due to the fact that these sheets do not hold up well in the wash. With regular use and washing over the last 6 months, these sheets have started pilling terribly and have become very scratchy as a result. We've tried to be gentle with them (i.e. washing on delicate cycle and using low-medium heat in the dryer), but the pilling just keeps getting worse and worse. These feel fabulous when you first get them, but they are low quality and not a good value when you consider they will only be of use for about 6 months before you have to toss them out and buy new sheets. I'm now considering just ponying up the money to buy genuine high thread-count Egyptian cotton sheets as those will last for years and get softer with each wash, rather than fall apart. I would not recommend these.

I just can't rave enough about these sheets. My luck has usually been that it's a hit or miss situation with regards to sheets and their quality holding up to my finicky tastes. Well, more like my skin's finicky tastes. If there's slight pilling or the fabric isn't soft enough, it drives me nuts and makes me feel like I'm rubbing skin across sandpaper. Or at least an old woolly military blanket.Luckily, these sheets have not disappointed in so many ways, with the top two being price and softness. They can look a little thinner than some, but I promise that the softness and how they hold up with washing will negate that. And if you live in a warmer climate, like I do, the lightness and breathe-ability of the sheets is a definite plus. While being super soft and light-feeling sheets, every one of mine have held up nicely, more than most of the sheets that I've gotten (which were more expensive!).Only one thing that I can say that might be a negative is that the colors aren't exactly accurate in the pictures for some. I got ivory in both full and queen and they're two different colors. Neither of which look like they do in the picture. And the brushed silver is really light. The blue ones I got do seem to match the picture fairly close, however. For me, this isn't a big deal but for others it may be.Overall, I'm very satisfied with these sheets and plan on getting more. They really are worth the price and feel like they should cost a heck of a lot more.
