California Design Den Natural 100% Cotton Sheets Queen Size Bed Set - Soft 400 Thread Count Sateen, Queen Sheets, Deep Pockets with All Around Elastic for a Snug Fit, Cool & Durable Bedding - WhiteOEKO-TEX STANDARD 100

This review is written having only washed these sheets one time. How they will last long term is undetermined. I have enough sheets. What I don’t have are sheets that fit my pillow top mattress easily. These do! And for that reason alone I would be happy with them. They also washed up well. They are a bit wrinkly, but that does not bother me. They felt “crisp” when I first opened them. They washed up more “soft”. Either way, I liked the feel and finish. They do stay in place well, elastic is good, and they mark the top/bottom with a label, eliminating the need to figure how to put on the mattress. Nice product, good price. Hope they last.

Years and years ago, I had a sheet set that I didn't appreciate at the time. The kind of purchase you buy in your youth when money is no real issue but relegate to the back of the linen closet when you color preferences change. I rediscovered that set recently (no longer usable as we upgraded to a larger bed) and I realized...those sheets never pilled, never wore, never frayed. And here I am now with "soft" sheets, navigating and avoiding holes each night.Figuring repurchasing quality sheets would be pricey, I've put it off for months. Meanwhile, I'd been researching what is was about those original sheets that I liked so much. The tags had been long worn...no clue brand, material, or weave.What I'd determined was I liked their crispness, their weight, and their overall thickness. And what I needed to find would be long staple cotton.I discovered these sheets in particular on Amazon and the price was far less than I was expecting to pay.Some say itchy - I say crisp.Some say wrinkly - I say...duh. 100% cottonSome say lower thread count - I mention quality of thread usedI'll update should I discover deteriation with use, but so far...these are PRECISELY what I'd been looking for.Update: nearly 1 year late, there has been no noticible wear. They are softer now, but still look great with no pilling for fraying. These were precisely the sheets I had hoped for.

I will never buy another brand again. These sheets are so comfortable and hold up so well. The colors are amazing. The bright salmon is so pretty, it's not super bright almost more of a coral color. I've also gotten the peacock blue (which is beautiful and perfect if you're looking for a darker teal like color) and teal which is a more subtle lighter blue. Sizes are perfect and deep enough that they fit over even a thick mattress cover. Love that they have the tag that show the top/foot so no guessing which direction the sheet needs to go.

After a few nights sleeping on these California Design Den sheets I’m convinced that I made the right choice. I must have checked out a dozen other offerings for all cotton sheets between 400-600 thread count and this brand stood out. They’ve been washed a couple of times already and the material is still crisp and cool. I expect this will be the case for at least the next 12 months. The sheets and pillowcases are a tad over-sized but I like that. And the fitted sheet goes over my thick custom made mattress quite easily and doesn’t slip off. The reason I didn’t give this set five stars is because I thought the material was a little on the lighter side, about the thickness of an expensive men’s dress shirt. If the company reads my review I encourage them to consider bumping up the heft if your material. Do that and these sheets will give the Wansutta brand competition they won’t want.

I’ve become a bit of a sheets snob in my old age, and these sheets are on par with some much higher end brands. They wash beautifully, with very little wrinkles, and are so soft and smooth to the touch. We’ll see how they hold up over time, but my first impression is very good. I was looking for polka dots, and these are adorable. Excellent quality for the price. I’ll definitely be back for more.

I received a set of these sheets yesterday.Before purchasing, I read many of the comments, both 5-star and 1-star. My first impression was that most people like these sheets, but that so many of the comments were very subjective. As one person pointed out, his "crisp" is my "soft." Some of the reviews caused me to evaluate the sheets before deciding to keep them. I read the box and the insert. They suggested washing before use.All fabrics have filler that can add unpleasant odor and even texture to the fabric. These did smell badly, so into the washer they went. I agree, that the sheets, on arrival, were smelly. One wash took care of it.People complained about loose threads and poor finishing. I did see about 1/4 inch threads that were not cut closely to the stitching. But to complain about it, really? These are not $200 sheets, and if you want that kind of finish work, buy more expensive products. I can clip a couple dozen little threads if they bother me.One person complained that the sheets were really made of microfiber and that it's printed on the box. This is text taken out of context. The box says, "Why COTTON is the BEST CHOICE?" It goes on to compare cotton's good qualities with those of microfiber. See the image to read what the box REALLY says.The sheets do have a sheen to them. It is due to the long staple cotton fibers and the weave of those fibers. The listing says they are sateen. Sateen has a sheen. If you don't want sheen, don't buy sateen.They wrinkle. Of course they do! News flash: Cotton wrinkles. If you want a product that won't wrinkle, buy microfiber! But I will say that they wrinkle far (FAR FAR) less than other cotton sheets I've had.The color was exactly as expected. One person complained that the ivory sheets were not the right shade of off white. Off white, ivory, cream, and other terms are, again, largely subjective. There are many different colorations that fit into off white.One of the great things I noticed immediately after washing--the sheets were cut and sewn on the straight of grain. This means the hemmed edges don't pull on the bias making unsightly and frustrating folds in the hem. Well done! This is rarely the case, and it impresses me. Thank you, California Design Den.I found the sheets to my liking. They were (being subjective) soft and breathable. They came out of the dryer with minimal wrinkles. They fit the bed perfectly.Obviously, I have not had them long enough to speak to issues of pilling or longevity. But if they hold up and don't pill, I'll have new favorite sheets.
