I wanted bamboo sheets ever since I visited a bamboo store overseas. They sold bamboo sheets and towels and were so incredibly soft. These sheets don't feel as silky soft. They feel a little softer/smoother than my high thread count egyptian cotton sheets.I love that this set is very light weight - perfect for summer! I ordered the gold color. Its a little more "yellow gold" than what the image depicts but still matches my decor. The only real prob I have with the sheets is that it is really big. I have a very nice king mattress, but the pocket is huge - I literally have to tuck the fitted sheets under the mattress (maybe if I had a pillowtop mattress the sheets would be more snug).The sheets are great. Very soft, wash well. I wish that when these were sold, the opportunity to buy different sized additional pillow cases had been offered. I contacted customer service and the representative who helped me was great and I purchased 2 additional sets of pillow cases, one king, one standard.One week on my bed and the bottom fitted sheet is piling. I have written to Egyptian Bedding for a replacement however no response at this time. I may have to return the sheets and ask for a refund.I also ordered they lower thread count and received the higher one. Great sheets. Soft and so comfortable. This is my 4th wash now and no issues. I use a detergent with no chemicals or dyes. Wash in cold only . low heat in the dryer.So soft and they were a fantastic price! We have all bamboo bedding and just needed an extra set and these were perfect!these are awesome! Softest sheets ever! But will pill if you have restless leg.These are so soft! I love them. Wash them in cold water and low heat though. They scorch easy!I am considered a Thread Count Snob -- I actually have bought sheet sets for over $3000 (yes, three zeroes) from a specialty bed store in Newport Beach, CA. (not sure if I can say the store name). Let's just say that these are the sheets on my bed right now!! I don't know what the complaints are about the deep pockets, etc., from other commentaries -- these sheets do come with the option of getting them with "deep pocket" and you will get an additional 3 inches, so if your mattress is not as thick, you'll have to tuck in more. Big deal!!Once you wash these about 6 - 8 times, they'll get super supple!! No one cares about the color anymore!! These are simply the best buy for the money -- there is no way you should be unhappy receiving the 1200TC when you order the 1000TC!! Other reviewers have received the same things. I paid for the 1000, and received the 1200. Two orders in a row! Great Deal!! You will not get better sheets for the price!!By the way, my 1200 TC super-pricey sheets are just THICKER.. not SOFTER.. and after 20 washes, they're just thick and comfy. Understand that just because sheets have high thread count, does not mean (or guarantee) softness..Thread count only affects the fill of a square inch. If the threads are not fine and soft to begin with, then you'll never get softness, no matter the numbers of TC!!
