Renaissance sheets - 800 people wrong? I saw these sheets and immediately thought these are the perfect sheets to order 808 reviews with an average of 4 stars. Must be great sheets. Then I start reading the latest reviews and they pill, scratchy, don't fit. How can that be? I bought some sheets from Amazon a few months ago (which are no longer carried) that did pill in 2 months time. So I'm on the quest for great sheets again wo spending $200 to $300 for sheets.

This is an old question with somewhat dated responses so I thought I would comment since I purchased the king in white 2 years ago and no want the gold. The sheets are crisp - almost hotel quality and feel and do not pill, thin out or bunch. I follow the simple care instructions and have had great luck with this brand. I have these exact same sheets in white and beige (ivory).

Mine started out with the flat sheet being weirdly sized (longer than normal but too narrow for my queen-size bed) and the fitted was perfect (deep enough for my feather topper), however the bottom shrunk so bad that I can no longer use. The sheets were washed in cold water, and dried 10 min. to remove wrinkles, then finished line-dried. The Renaissance sheets are my worst Amazon purchase.

How has your luck been with these new sheets so far? I have bought two pairs of these in the past and now I just bought the ivory set as it is back in stock. Now I am a bit concerned as to what people are saying as well!

I did not buy these. I bought sheets from O stock for 600 Thread Count Embroidered Sheet Set with Bonus Pillowcases. I love those.

I have 3 pair--and all 3 are sized slightly different. I have one set that is perfect, and of the other two, one top flat sheet is just almost too small for the bed while the matching fitted sheet is far too loose on the queen bed, the other set has a fitted sheet that is far too small. I think it is the luck of the draw what you get. They must be made by different manufacturers for the same seller. I have one set that the material itself is an entirely different quality than the other two as well. I have grey, light blue, and the brown. The grey is the only set that fits perfectly with a large enough top sheet. I have 3 pair--and all 3 are sized slightly different.

I got portacrib sheets at Toys R Us, I forget which brand, and Carousel Designs. They both get softer the more you wash them. (Neither are organic).

Your best bet is to check the internet for the definition of Egyptian Quality. I know my sister is very pleased with these sheets, she said they were very soft and washed well.

My error, I just looked at my history on Amazon, and BOTH of mine were bought from Defense Acquisitions. I read some of the other responses, adn I agree, if you want something new, then buy new. Having said that---they are washable, and other than the fact that someone else slept in it, I can't tell the difference. If that doesn't bother you, save yourself the money.

You do get one for that price - but the quality of them makes them a true bargain. When buying linens always look for the minimum of 300 thread count - the higher the thread count the higher the price. For these it was a real bargain. Also when laundering good linens do not use a softener - a softener on bed linens will actually break down the thread count - it is the thread count which gives you that built in softness. You will enjoy them. Thanks,

Every review I have read says they WISH they would have bought the Sleep Innovations mattress for $400 ish instead of $3,000++ You can see some reviews on Sleep Like The Dead forum site. I have a Sleep Innovations mattress and it is surely the BEST I have ever had in nearly 50 years. Also, if there is ever a problem with mattress you take a photo of it and fax or email them a request and they mail you a new mattress no questions ask not that you will need another one! http://www.sleeplikethedead.com/bed-mattress-review-home.html

Very simply, after man mistakes there's only ONE way to shop for sheets nowadays, and it's NOT by following threadcount. I don't know if threadcount means something else nowadays, because you can by 1600 threadcount and it's like tissue paper. The ONE way to buy sheets is to go by the amazon reviews. And that's not a plug for amazon, it's just the only way that I've found my choices to be successful.

I ordered these sheets: #1 Bed Sheet Set on Amazon - Super Silky Soft - SALE - HIGHEST... Sold by: Mellanni I hope this helps.

No, it isn't for us. I liked my first one so well, that I ordered 2 for our King beds. They are good for the money; not thick nor as nice as "top of the line" brands, but still very nice and comfy. I washed them first and they look and felt just as nice coming out of the dryer. Often times, cheaper ones will lump up; not this one....

I got my sheets from Amazon. Graco has fitted sheets for 6-8 dollars apiece and they are VERY snug.

These are actually very high quality sheets. I had my first set "pill" also. I did some research and discovered that drying cotton sheets on high heat will compromise the cotton and therefore it will pill. I purchased a second set as I love the way they feel and also the way the fitted sheet has thick elastic all the way around preventing any slipping of the bottom sheet. I have only dried this set on medium heat and they have held up beautifully, only getting softer each time. They really are the best sheets I've found, but you must dry them on a lower heat setting.

I would say they've gotten a bit softer, but haven't changed dramatically. I LOVE these sheets though!! Give them a chance, unless you really want a dramatically different feel. You may have to go w/ synthetic fabrics to get it though.

I am fairly sure that Amazon sells both kinds of King sheets. Bed Bath and Beyond also sells these. Call there for verification. We ordered the entire ensemble of this set and are delighted. (Larry's wife)

While I'm not sure about these, my 2 sets of Renaissance SATEEN sheets are really deep and generous with the pockets! I own an 18" Serta Vera Wang queen pillowtop mattress, and they fit it perfectly! I am assuming that these sheets are the same, with those deep pockets... Renaissance sheets are made in India. -- Lillian

Only buy this mattress if you want a GREAT sleep at a very reasonable price. I am sure you can get just as good of a mattress for $3000 as well. If you are curious about the differences between the high-priced and lower-priced foam mattresses, you should check out a website called sleeplikethedeadDOTcom - it has a lot of very interesting information, and I found it to be quite objective. By the way, I absolutely LOVE my Sleep Innovations mattress, and plan on buying another one.
