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 just uploaded photos. Check customer images of the product of both sheets. I have not used them. Depending on how fast Amazon approves it for posting, check back in a day or two if the photos are available. See how many of each character are there. Different for each so feel free to look for yourself.

most sheets today have those that are called DEEP POCKETS, look for those words or the fit up to, lets say 14" or 16"either one is what you are looking for. The Cost is not as bad as you think, actually most fitted sheets are already made for the size now as a lot of beds are known for being thick and needing deep pockets, so really it is not like you would think, and now the fitted sheet is now almost always made for the extra size.

Hi Medi, I'm out of town right now so I can't go to my own bed and experiment with the sheet. All I can say is that it seemed pretty standard to me . . . do you regularly have trouble with standard fitted sheets? If so, you might have the same problem with these. Write back if you want me to experiment a bit when I'm home again (Sunday, Jan. 5) and get back to you with more info.

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....

Well, it was 87 the other day and the sheets were wonderful. Wrinkly, but wonderful, lol.

i have other 1500 thread count sheets, and these sheets seem to have the same texture and feel. I cannot say that they are the same count for sure. they are definitely much better than a 200 count sheet is .

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.

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.

The American Baby Company 100% cotton Jersey knit portable/mini sheets are perfect! They're only $6.99 with Prime. I've even washed and dried it and it didn't strink.

I agree with all the previous answers. We've had these sheets for several years, and washed probably 20 - 25 times (we have two sets so they rotate) and they have neither thinned, nor pilled. Worth every penny.

I don't really know what causes "pilling". I do agree that it is an annoying consequence of cheap and sometimes not so cheap sheets. It seems some of the micro fabrics seems to hold up better, but my choice is always 100% cotton high thread count. I have only washed these sheets twice, but they must be washed in cold water and when they come out of the dryer they look brand new. I bought on set to see how they hold up and have since bought another set. I guess it is a crap shoot these days, but these sheets are not all that expensive , they are holding up well and they are wonderfully soft. I hope this opinion helps you with your buying decision.

Yeah something is screwy here. It seems like price gouging somehow. I've seen them for $109 a 2-pack of the medium's elsewhere, but it's out of stock there too. I don't think anyone has these. People have been waiting months and still haven't received them.

I just assumed it was because the re-sellers are trying to promote the "perfect five star reviews" over other reviews to help boost their sales. Don't worry about the helpful/not helpful thing, you won't please everyone. I figure some people are looking at my reviews from a parent's perspective, some are looking at it from a kid or fanboy perspective and some are just re-sellers trying to move their (overpriced) products. If it helps any, I thought your review was spot on and just marked your review as helpful.

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