Got this for my 3 year old’s bed. She’s potty trained, but still occasionally wets the bed. I chose this waterproof mattress pad based on the number of reviews and the high overall rating. But, based on my experience, this mattress pad did not keep the urine from leaking through onto the new mattress (which now has a urine stain/smell).

After putting these sheets on my bed i saw many very odd stains, a shoe print being one of them. How on earth you get a shoe stain on sheets before packing them is very weird to me. Like i just imagine you had these sheets laying on the ground before you packed them up and sent them out.

the FINEST polyester in all of Egypt…
These sheets are NOT Egyptian cotton, they’re not even cotton. So if you’re buying sheets for your girlfriend who is allergic to polyester, you’re the guy who just wrapped her body in 100% polyester. I’m not disappointed, I’m downright angry, this is INTENTIONALLY deceptive.

Seemed to work great for two years, but you don’t really know until it’s tested. My cat got locked in the room and peed on the bed. Changed the sheets and discovered that the water proof layer of the cover disintegrated where the pee was, and only where the pee was, ruining my thousand dollar latex foam mattress. Very disappointed.

To me this is a case of you get what you pay for. I ordered these with high hopes, but returned them the same day I received them. Very disappointed.
Cons
1- The ad states "On Sale Today Only"… was not true. These sheets have been listed as "Sale Today only" for many weeks now.

No way. I cannot believe 30,000 Amazon customers bought these same sheets and thought they were 4-5 stars… usually Amazon reviews are reliable. Not this time. These sheets have not ONE single seam that is double stitched. Not one. The fitted sheet has a single-stitched little pocket with elastic floating in it… the elastic isn’t even sewn in!

These sheets feel soft when they arrive and also after the first laundering. It was fun to put these new sheets on the bed. Then came the problems. The sheets are so thin that the bottom sheet can’t possibly stay flat, so the result is a wrinkly bed all the time. Then they started to pill.

If these sheets are 1800 thread count Egyptian cotton, Im the president of the United States. They are absolutely, 100%, unequivocally NOT 1800 thread count Egyptian cotton. That is a bold faced lie.

Ordered 2 different sets of bedding. Both arrived and contained spots on the sheets and on the Hotel Luxury, the sewing of the pillow cases were sub standard.

The material is super soft, and I love that, but the sheets are so "flimsy". I bought this set for our king size bed and the sheets do not stay "tight" around the mattress. Despite the fact that the sheets have deep pockets. When I go to make the bed, the fitted sheet is all wrinkled and I literally have to pull it taut.

Infected with bugs. I opened the package to wash them and noticed how soft the sheets where. When I shook the sheets out to put them in the washer thousand of little black bugs came out. Both sheets were full of bugs!!!

NOT EGYPTIAN COTTON. Not even sure it there is any cotton in it. Looked all over the packaging and they don’t even mention what they’re made of. Is this legal ? They use the word Egyptian in their description to mislead. Thin, cheap. Premium 1500 Collection has nothing to do with anything other than just a name they use.

Our sheets, while very soft, came with an additional gift. A DEAD LIZARD! It was the grossest thing I have ever seen wrapped up in our brand new sheets. I have a picture to prove it!

So I read quite a few of the reviews before buying these; I was weary about the cost being so little but the product/material being so practical and supposedly wrinkle free. I decided to order them, give them the benefit of the doubt; there were more good than bad reviews from what I gathered. BIG MISTAKE!

This “protector” does not protect the mattress at all. It is less than 9 months old and the first time it was peed on it went completely through.

I’m reviewing HC Collection Bed Sheets Set, HOTEL LUXURY Platinum Collection 1800 Series Bedding Set, Deep Pockets, Wrinkle & Fade Resistant, Hypoallergenic Sheet & Pillow Case Set (Queen, White)
In bold right under the product title it says ‘Amazon’s Choice for cotton sheets’.
These are NOT cotton.

bought these after reading many reviews and about the softness and comfort of these. We took them and washed them first thing before ever using them. After taking them out of the dryer and went to spread them across the bed we seen several large faded spots in the fitted sheet, regular sheet and even the pillow cases.

Was pleasantly surprised with these sheets. I have night sweats and insomnia. May husband is also very picky with regard to bedding. After the first night we slept nearly 11 hours and I only woke up twice with two mild sweats. The sheets are UNBELIEVABLY SOFT. It’s like a cotton t-shirt I had that was super soft and comfy.

My initial opinion after looking at these sheets was that they were very soft, there were a lot of loose threads and the elastic seemed cheap. I planned on keeping them until I washed them and started to make up the bed. I noticed two stains.

I have had these sheets for 6 months and they are already worn and pilly. The top sheet is so rough that I can feel the pills against my skin. I am so disappointed with these sheets.
