Clara Clark® Premier 2000 Collection Twin Size Bed Sheet Set - Soft Cream Beige Sheets for Cozy Bedroom & Guest Room Comfort

Living in a household with three males, I don't get a lot of "pretty" in my life. I have somehow managed to turn my bedroom into my "happy place," and a comfy bed is a non-negotiable MUST to me. I have shopped and shopped and shopped for sheets that are comfortable, durable, and priced for everyday folks such as myself. I lucked up when I found these sheets as an outlet deal. They are, without a doubt, the BEST set of sheets I've owned.Now, I feel it necessary to say that I'm not a huge fan of cotton sheets. Cotton/poly blends, maybe sometimes, but plain cotton just doesn't have the texture that I like. These Clara Clarks certainly do. These sheets are on the thicker end of the microfiber spectrum. They're not like the cheapies that you can see straight through, and they don't trap heat like those impossibly thin, junky sheets manage to do. They're also impeccably sewn--my set doesn't have the first missed stitch or loose thread. They have the luxurious feel I really appreciate, they've held up through numerous washings, and I can still afford to pay bills after buying a set of them. Win/win/win.Although I refuse to budge from my 5-star review, I do want to be fair and include a couple of things that might be issues for other people. First, these are pretty deep-pocketed sheets. There was a LOT of fitted sheet to tuck around my 12-or-so inch deep mattress, and the elastic sewn in isn't super-tight. That being said, I still haven't had any issues with it bunching or walking itself loose from my tucking efforts. Another thing that might be off-putting to others was the amount of lint I found in the lint trap after the first time I dried them (low-heat cycle, of course). After checking the lint trap that first time, I was amazed that there was still any sheet left to put on the bed, but somehow there was, and the result was an insanely soft set of sheets that had only the most minimal of color fade. Definitely things I can live with for what these lovelies offer in return.Don't be afraid to give these a try if you're looking for a decadently soft, breathable, durable set of sheets. If you manage to catch a set of them on super-sale, pat yourself on the back while your wallow in their softness.**UPDATE 8/15/16** After purchasing and receiving another set of these sheets, this time in Eggplant Purple, I'm lowering this product's star rating. I'd go for about a 3.5 if Amazon would let me. My original navy blue set is holding up pretty nicely after repeated washings, drying, and usages. However, this purple set....ugh. Still insanely soft? You'd better believe it. True to color? Absolutely. Great deep-pocket fit? Definitely. Sound and precise stitching? NOT so much. Upon removing these sheets from their package--which, by the way was ripped, so shame on you, Amazon!--I was very dismayed to discover that the flat sheet had *numerous* missed stitches and loose threads along the hem lines. They only got worse after washing, so I'm guessing these particular sheets aren't going to be anywhere near as durable as my previous set. Also...and here's the real kicker...the flat sheet and a pillow case had FOOTPRINTS on them. I've always kind of giggled when I've read other sheet reviewers state that they had footprints on their sheets and wondered if they were seeing things, but now I totally believe them. I had a row of dusty shoe prints along one side of the sheet. Seriously?? So, if the quality of these sheets is going to be a gamble when purchasing from set to set, I'm going to have to weigh my options. Please do bear in mind that if you get a well-made set, they're absolutely fantastic. If you don't get a well-made set...well, they're still pretty comfy, even if they have issues. You'll have to be the one to decide if you feel like rolling the dice.
