I hate it when sheets get little balls on them after you have them a few months. Why do sheets do this?? Is it the thread count or material. Please help

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.

Well, That are "NOT" sateen. They are very soft .. They don't come out perfect from the dryer. I try to get them on the bed fresh hot out the dryer though. I do love these sheets though. very soft and comfy. I would by them again.

The seems help the sheet fit the mattress better. They are my favorite sheets ever. I have them on my bed right now and will be sad when they are cycled through the sheet wardrobe. I have other linen sheets and the fabric these are made of is just so wonderful.

Not always. With normal movement from two people on the bed the sheet will come off. You get used to tucking it back in.

I checked the sheets and the shipping information, no where does it state a thread count. My advice is, buy something else. The elastic broke after a very few Washings.

I own these sheets, the higher thread count sheets are actually finer threads. As such, they are not extremely heavy weight, they are however, much softer than lower thread count sheets.

I haven't used this & gone to bed so don't know about sheets. I've only used a 2 or 3 times. I had on loose fitting clothing and did not put that on for at least a couple of hours. The couple times that I used it, I took a shower and then put it on my legs without putting any lotion or anything. The next day when I took a shower the water was kind of orange looking running off me when I first got in, so I don't trust ANYTHING until I see for myself. Sorry I don't have a better answer.

the mattress pad should give you no issues with that. I do know that the type of sheets you have can "pull". Sateen & Flannel sheets are culprits, not the pads I believe.

hi, my sheets are very smooth. I do not own any microfiber sheets, nor do I ever plan to purchase any. I love my cotton sheets. I think you will be very happy with the pinzon sheet, I love them. hope this helps.

I had this problem once or twice with this machine and my old Singer. (my only two machines ever). Once it was too much lint under the bobbin holder and it was fine once I really cleaned my Machine and got the little"dust bunnies" out of there. They almost look like felt. The other time, I simply had my bobbin in reversed and didn't realize it. I have already made four larger quilts and lots of small projects in the year I have had this machine. I LOVE it. Usually the problem is me, not the machine. LOL I have also learned to change needles often! Every new project or about 12-15 hours of sewing, which ever comes first.

Yes the sheet quality is great; I ordered 2 sets. You have to be prepared for top hem to be a bit irritating. My husband commented on it so I know it's a pretty substantial concern.

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.

I haven't noticed pet hair sticking to the sheets but I do keep a light blanket on the bed at all times. My two dogs sleep on the bed but the hair is always on the blanket.

I believe they are making a comparison to the 'feel of the material'. It feels similar, and although the quality is probably far from the same, I have had my sheets for 12 months and so far so good (no tears or obvious wear).

I have yet to find sheets that fit this mattress. I would look into another mattress, this mattress is the worst. After only a few months. The mattress began to sink in the middle on both sides. I would flip the mattress, however that didn't work.

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.

Hi Carole.........I have been more than happy with our sheet clips. Once on, they do a great job. No problems at all with them. :-)
