Does the fitted sheet stay on the mattress? What is the difference between a 1600 thread count and a 300 thread count?

Thank you for your question. The fitted sheets are designed to stay on the mattress when the bed adjusts and extends. These sheets are made from Microfiber, the threads are ultra thin (micro thin) and that is why they there is such a high thread cont. Regardless, they are very soft.

The Amazon listing says 300 thread count, not super high. They are not the smoothest silkiest cotton sheets I've had, but they are nice, not rough or anything. I'm happy with them.

It fits exactly like a fitted sheet. So as long as you can get the fitted sheet on the mattress, it should stay in place really well. If not, I'd imagine it would be like sleeping on top of a blanket...it would move around and get balled up.

Yes it stays in place. I have a full size bed with a queen size 2" foam topper. The mattress pad stays in place while the foam pad slowly works its way to the size of the bed that I get in and out of. Even the fitted sheets will move. (They are not deep fitted sheets.). But this mattress pad stays in place. The sides stretch to go under the mattress and it hasn't moved at all.

Thank you! Would like to know the thread count because it should be on the product???.

It is not, thread count isn't stated, well below 400. Probably 100-200 at best.

No, they actually are better than the higher thread count, we are very pleased with the purchase.

It does not list the thread count anywhere. These sheets are very soft, but very thin. I'm using them, but they do not entirely cover my mattress. LOL

The sheets cannot be tucked in as tightly as they can on a regular bed. They do become loose, but they don't come off. I just tighten them anew each day knowing that they won't stay that way. For me, it fulfills its purpose. Hope this is helpful.

With the quality of this product the thread count did not mean much to me. It's durable yet very soft. It was a great purchase that I love! Hope this helps!

Focus on thread count. This is the key factor with bed sheets in determining not only the thickness but the overall quality. The higher the thread count, the better. Personally, I prefer egyptian cotton over the standard cotton that we are used to in fabrics. It helps keep your body cooler when you sleep and is noticeably softer to the touch. With this particular item, it turned out to be 100% polyester and they are clearly not 1500 thread count. I wouldn't buy these sheets again if for no other reason than they were falsely advertised. Nonetheless, the sheets have already started showing noticeable signs poor quality. Focus on thread count.

not necessary that high thread counts always better. All depends on the yarn and the way it woven. There are sheets with 400- 600 thread count can be considered better quality that some 1000-1500tc.

No it doesn't but if you have fitted sheets it shouldn't matter; it seems to stay put very nicely and, personally, is the best/most comfortable (thick and soft) mattress pad out there.

The sheets are not Egyptian cotton. The name of the sheets are Italian 1500. The sheets are a synthetic blend not 100 percent cotton. I have a set of Egyptian cotton sheets they cost me a lot of money. They also last for years. I would not purchase this item again. If you read my description I stated how the bottom sheet came unsewn around the elastic. I believe the description by the manufacturer is very misleading. Look at that again, it says "Italian 1500 thread count Egyptian cotton." I would ask manufacturer to make up their mind, is it Italian or is it Egyptian??? See what I mean. Other reviews state it is a 1500 thread count, my answer is no way no how are the sheets this high a thread count. Hope this helps...also one review reads that 1500 thread count means there softer. If the sheets were this high of a thread count they would not be so thin that you can see through. Thread counts is the amount of threads used when making the material. I don't know anyone who sales 1500 thread count sheets for the price these are. They are soft but not worth the money if the elastic is treated with a chemical to make it seem tight before washing then after washing the elastic is weak and sheet comes unsewn around that elastic.

The company sells fitted and flat sheets. I purchased a "fitted" sheet. That implies the corners are fitted, and the rest of the sheet is straight, not gathered. The fitted does run a little large, more for deeper mattresses. They are workable, though for slimmer mattresses.

I took it off and use regular fitted sheets with a nice thread count. Mine didn't slide off too badly, but I still replaced it with regular sheets because they are easy to wash, and microfiber, which is what the cover is made of, collects too much dust. It's a great bed otherwise!
