If these sheets are Egyptian COTTON, why don't they say so?

I believe there is a bit of marketing at play here. The current description reads "100% Egyptian striped..." It does not say "cotton"! Most people assume, when sheets are described, that cotton is a given with the word Egyptian. Not so in this case. P.S. The sheets are inexpensive but they are wearing well so far.

Egyptian? I was surprised and wife was more so. They are extremely light and thin, but they feel so much better than the sheets we had been using.

They are microfiber, not cotton!!! The thread count has no relevance whatsoever. This is cheap polyester microfiber and you will hate it. Sleazy advertising to say that it is "like" Egyptian cotton. It is not!

I'm not sure but I don't care for them as they are too"slippery" as in a silky texture which I don't care for. I like cotton period and it is hard to find. These slide around and don't stay on bed well. Would not purchase again myself but those of you that like silky sheets may like them.

Sorry -- There is no reference for this question and I've bought 4 pairs of sheets thru Amazon -- if you could send me a pic or description of the sheets , I"d happily answer this for you!

They may be "Egyptian fibers", but that does not make them cotton. I bought a set from Amazon and they were made out of a plastic-like material, soft and slippery. I think they are microfiber. Not what I was looking for but I know some people like that feeling on their skin.

I really don't know. I never saw that comment when I ordered the sheets. It's just a regular set of cotton twin sheets & my grandson loves them.

I don't believe they do. But I don't have any experience with microfiber sheets.

I honestly don't know either. I would guess they have some cotton content but no idea how much.

They don't appear to be cotton. I can't see how Egyptian or Italian are relevant to the product description.

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.

Egyptian sheets are a very high quality cotton sheet. They are like sleeping on clouds and almost feellike silk, except they don't slide around. I use only egyptian sheets now and am getting the best sleep ever!

No, they are not 100% cotton, but my sheets have held up well. I have had them, for 2+ months.

Mine say 100% Egyptian Cotton. Very smooth fabric but not shiny or slippery like satin sheets.

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

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!
