Microfiber Has Come a Long Way
Color: 22 - Spa Blue, Size: Queen
I have one of those beds where the head and foot of the bed can be raised or lowered as needed, much like a hospital bed. Except in this case, the mattress is soft but supportive and very thick. If you measure the side from the top edge to the bottom edge of the mattress, it measures a bit over 12 inches. That means, if I want the mattress to actually stay in place it needs to have at least a few inches to tuck under, or it just pulls loose. Many sheets that advertise that they are "deep pocket" sheets often barely go around the mattress, and even clips don't help keep the bottom sheet on. It also means more difficulty in the first place to make the bed if I have to do it myself (I have a "hospital bed" for a reason). I did have two sets of sheets that I loved and were just deep enough to stay on fairly well, but I have had them for several years now, and they have started to get a bit thin in spots and the elastic on the fitted sheet is not as taut as before. Sheets are expensive, but I also have a sensitivity to rough and scratchy material, so the texture had to be something I wouldn't find irritating. The last time I bought "microfiber" sheets was probably when "microfiber" was a new thing, and it usually was some kind of knitted, stretchy material like a t-shirt, but had a tendency to pill badly after a few washings. Still, I needed sheets, and it was winter, and those stretchy knitted sheets were soft and warm, so I ordered two sets of the Extra Deep Queen Sheet Set--one in white, and the other in "spa blue". When they arrived, I was very surprised to see that the quality of the fabric actually mimicked very fine cotton sheets. They were brand new as expected, and they didn't smell or anything, but I do wash things like towels or sheets and some clothing before I use them. They weren't really dirty, so I just washed them in a small amount of detergent and cool water. The directions suggest gentle cycle, but I have a "bulky" setting on my washer that seems gentle enough on sheets but helps avoid issues like the load getting off balance in the tub. I dried it on the low, delicate setting with a sheet of fabric softener to cut down on static and because I wanted a nice scent. The sheets came out beautiful, and have since been used and washed again, and they so far, look and feel even more luxurious than before. I especially appreciate that the manufacturer but a label on the fitted sheet to indicate that the side that was to go on the top/bottom of the mattress. The sheets are VERY deep. More than I require, but now they stay on the bed, no matter how far up or down I move it, or how much I toss and turn. I also bought a set of sheets by another brand, but I really should have just paid the few dollars extra for another set of these. If you are used to those 800-count Egyptian Cotton or those fancy silk and bamboo blend sheets, you're probably going to hate these. But if you ever had to settle for sheets from Dollar General or Walmart, this is going to be a definite upgrade. (My favorite sheets from before I think I ordered online from Sears or Kohl's that were some kind of cotton and synthetic blend. ) Overall, for basic soft, comfortable sheets I can recommend these. They seem to be very warm, so I wonder how "breathable" they would be in the summer, but I tend to be very cold all the time anyway. I love these sheets so far. I'm tempted to order one more set if the other brand ends up being too annoying to deal with.
