Yes these sheets are Egyptian cotton with 1500 thread count. The higher the thread count the softer. Hope this helps.

The tag that is actually on the sheet does not say whether or not they are Egyptian cotton. I have purchased Egyptian cotton sheets from another retailer, and they are a little bit different as far as the way they feel. The thread count is the number of horizontal and vertical threads per square inch. The higher the thread count, the thicker and better quality your sheets will be, and you won't have the stretching you see with sheets with lower thread counts. I hope this helps.

1500 refers to the thread count that gives this sheet a soft, smooth texture that does not irritate the skin. It is probably a blend of Egyptian cotton but it is worth the money.

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.

I purchased these a couple months age. They are Italian cotton not Egyptian. 1500 refers to how many threads there are per inch. They aren't the highest of highest qualty sheets, but, for the price they are much nicer than anything you'll find at Walmart (I've purchase there before) for even close to the same price. Really, I found them to be a good buy.

I'm not really sure if they are truly 1500 thread count, but they are extremely soft! So wahtever threadcount they are, I like it!

There is no such thing as "Egyptian Microfiber." Microfiber is not cotton. Indeed, I doubt that microfiber even has a legitimate thread count.

Yes they're a nice & light fabric. Almost silky but cotton material. Really comfortable sheets at such a great price! I ordered 2 sets!

I now know I was wrong about my comment. It is not cotton but microfiber. However, the rating is supposed to be the equivalent of cotton 1800 thread count.

They are made of 109% Egyptian cotton. I have never had such soft, beautiful colors sheets! You can't believe how soft they are even when you feel them. I will try to buy only these brand sheets from now on.

This sheets I received were 12 x 12. I don't think the photo is accurate either.

They measure 13". I would NEVER buy these sheets again. In addition to the pillow case edges fraying prematurely, now the binding on the fitted sheet is tattered (and the fit on them was never even tight). These sheets are not that old, were not inexpensive and are ready for the rag bag.

These sheets are extremely thin and "feel like" microfiber. They may be cotton, but certainly doesn't feel like what I know to be cotton sheets.

The sheets I received were microfiber, but not cotton. There was no thread count listed on the product.

Everyone answering this with the statement that they are cotton really needs to check the sewn in tag! I don't see 100 % cotton anywhere in the headline or description. This sheet set is 100 % polyester. Does feel like microfiber which is what the description says. I bought the chocolate colored set. UPDATED: I now see a photo that shows packaging stating 100% egyptian cotton. I believe this is only there because it is what they are comparing these sheet to. In all reality they are 100% polyester as I stated above. I took that information directly off the sewn in tag. They feel wonderful and I am extremely satisified with my purchase.

The short answer is yes they are Egyptian Cotton. They are bright white, but have a bit of a texture to them almost like linen, and they are a very decent weight. For a larger napkin which is heavier and has no texture check out the satin band napkins by typing B00CEN2NBU into the search box. I get asked all the time what is Egyptian Cotton, so here is the technical answer: Egyptian cotton is "extra long staple" mostly made from a cotton plant called Gossypium barbadense. These plants are, in fact, grown all over the world including in the US, China and India. Egyptian Cotton does not necessarily mean that the cotton was grown in Egypt. If the cotton is actually from Egypt it is called Giza cotton. The fiber length is around 1 3/8 inches which is extra long and does make for a softer more luxurious product.

I am not sure. It is a single layer just like cotton on softer. I am a fan of cotton too. But these are the best I have ever had. I thought they were cotton until I looked on line. But the softness, one would guess they were 1800 thread count and not the model.

Egyptian cotton is very soft and durable. These sheets are amazing and i would highly recommend trying them out. I bought 2 sets at first because of the price. (i thought the price was to good to be true) But, I was wrong. I am obsessed with great sheets and i was extremely surprised at the fact that they were exactly what the seller said they were and I loved them so much that i bought 2 more sets. I plan on getting a few more sets in different colors. I HIGHLY recommend these sheets!

300 count. The sheets are softer and thicker then I expected for the price Just a tip if you buy it I have a 15 inch mattress but still need to use sheet clips to keep these sheets in place. I use Sheet Stay Downs - Short Quad Style clips.
