I think sandpaper is smoother than these sheets.  Am going to try to run them through the wash a few more times, but don't have high hopes we will be able to use them.

I ordered two king size sets of these sheets, in aqua and grey.  Although both are beautiful, the texture is not as smooth and pleasant as expected from 1500 thread count Egyptian cotton.  Moreover, the elastic on the bottom sheet is rather flimsy, especially in the corners, so that the fit is never snug on the mattress.

While we really like that these sheets are very soft and smooth and the pattern/muted purple color is beautiful, they are VERY thin and the fitted sheet doesn't remain smooth/taut on the bed.  The elastic all around could be more sturdy; as is, the elastic is not thick enough to keep the fitted sheet from moving.  After a night of sleep I have to pull the corners of the fitted sheet back on, smooth out the sheet and tuck it back under the mattress as it is all rumpled up.  After washing them the first time they had a few almost greasy looking stains on them, which I am not sure is from detergent or not (this was a pre-wash before ever putting them on the bed) and I have never had this problem with sheets before.  Maybe this is because they are polyester?  I really want to like these, but would not buy them again because of the problem with the fitted sheet staying on the bed.  I don't need this hassle making the bed every day.  I am also concerned that because they are so thin they are not going to last very long.

These are NOT wrinkle free sheets.  They do not feel much better than a 250-300 thread count.  The color was nice.

I've been on the hunt for great sheets for the last few years. Usually I purchase inexpensive sheets, but decided that it was time to "up my game" and actually put some money into a set of sheets.

My reigning champion is a set of microfiber sheets I bought from a state fair near me a year an a half ago for $20. I thought, for sure, that these Brooklyn Bedding sheets would dethrone them. They didn't.

The packaging is great. The BB box and the experience of opening these sheets gave me high hopes. The first thing that struck me was that the sheets are thin. I wasn't terribly concerned, but it certainly was unexpected. For some reason I expected a heavier fabric to help create a barrier between you and the mattress. The thinness, however, isn't really a big deal.

They are comfortable sheets, tying with my microfiber sheets, but not dramatically more comfortable. If it was 300TC cotton it would bother me, by the rayon is smooth and soft.

The pockets aren't as deep as my other favorite sheet sets, and they don't quite fit around my mattress (granted my mattress is very deep). They do work though, but just barely.

I have two complaints with these sheets: I find they bunch up a little and create hard creased wrinkles where you lie. I find it curious with the shoe stretched over the mattress that it doesn't pull the fabric tighter preventing this sort of thing. Visually it's unattractive and makes me think the sheets are dirty after a few nights.

Probably the biggest issue is that the sheets begin to pill after a handful of nights, which is something you'd see in cheap cotton sheets (it has to do with the length of the threads in the sheet). The pilling is annoying and affects the texture of the sheet. I've had much worse pilling on some cheap cotton sheets, but I feel like the amount of pilling was more than I would have expected.

Overall, these sheets tie for my second favorite sheets (which are also $20 sheets that I picked up from the supermarket). They feel more luxurious than most, but they are not perfect.

The weave on these sheets has the weave skipping a few wefts which gives them a softer and smoother feel when new than a traditional weave which is a bit stiffer and scratchy when new.  That said, I kind of like that new sheet feel.  These are noticeably thinner than the traditional weave Ralph Lauren sheets we have from Macy's, and the seams aren't finished quite as well, but overall they are decent quality sheets and what I would consider somewhat entry level or mainstream all-cotton sheets.

I have other microfiber sheets but this one is not as smooth and soft... seems a little rough for my liking...looks like an ordinary cotton sheet..

Nice sheets but not as soft and silky as I was hoping.  I hope once they are washed a few more times they will soften up.

I didn't even use them. Right off the bat I thought they were too rough to the touch but I figured maybe if I washed them and added some fabric softener, that may help. Well it didn't. Ended up throwing them away. If you like sleeping on sandpaper....these pillow cases are for you.

I question if this is viscose at all. I have several bamboo viscose items, and this is NOT what they feel like. Silk? More like sand paper. I've bought sheets at walmart that are smoother than these. My husband and I, both in our thirtys, were sweating up a storm all night. This sheet didn't just radiate heat, it amplified it.

I guess all 600 thread count sheets are not created equal.  Years ago I started buying 600 thread count sheets from Kohl's, and they definitely felt great on your skin.  These Bedford sheets really aren't the same.  Instead of the material being uniform on both sides, the reverse side is a very faded material, and they don't feel the same.  I didn't bother to return them, but this is an item that I'm better off buying in a store where I can touch and see before buying.

I removed the sheet from the package and put them in the washer before I put them on my bed. As I was putting on the bed I noticed a lot of places that were discolored. Im not sure if they were discolored before I washed them or not but as there were brand new I would expect them to hold up through the first wash. Also, they are not soft as I expected. Very stiff and rough.
Additional information: The company has contacted me and offered to replace or a refund. Company was very proactive in fixing the problems with their product.

Bought these for the convenience when finishing pens. Rougher grits seem fine but 400 & 600 grit not so much. Particularly the 400 leaves scratches that are time consuming to remove. Takes me twice as long to finish pens with this sand paper. I like the convenience, but I will be looking for other brands to replace the rolls.

If you are looking for super satiny soft sheets, look elsewhere. These are percale sheets and are not that soft. But that is the nature of percale sheets, so you can't really fault them for that. I actually really prefer the feel of sateen sheets over these, but we seem to be really hard on sheets and keep ripping our sateen ones down at the bottom where my husband's feet rest. I read that percale is more durable than sateen so we are trying these this time. I'm not sure what that man does with his feet at night but hopefully these hold up better over time. So far, they are a bit scratchy so I'm hoping they soften up with washes, but really they aren't too bad. I'm sure I could get much softer if I was willing to shell out more money, but these were cheap so no complaints.

The fitted sheet is a little larger than is necessary, so it doesn't fit that well on the table, even though I have a fluffy pad underneath. And they wrinkle in the dryer. They are soft, though.

I don't have a good feeling about these sheets. I had to cut a dozen long threads off the sheets before I threw them in the washer. I can see my hand through the fabric. That is not a good sign either. I narrowed the choices to good reviews when I selected these so perhaps my set is not typical but in the era of mass produced everything, it is unlikely that one set is different than the rest.  If I didn't need a set of sheets for company that is arriving, I would send them back and go to the store and buy a different set.
If I am wrong and they are actually durable and my grandkids inherit them, I will ask them to post a follow up.

Although these sheets are cute, they were described as microfiber. In reality, they are a more coarse, stiff fabric that has not improved with washing. My toddler likes the print, but sleeps poorly in them.
