Renaissance sheets - 800 people wrong? I saw these sheets and immediately thought these are the perfect sheets to order 808 reviews with an average of 4 stars. Must be great sheets. Then I start reading the latest reviews and they pill, scratchy, don't fit. How can that be? I bought some sheets from Amazon a few months ago (which are no longer carried) that did pill in 2 months time. So I'm on the quest for great sheets again wo spending $200 to $300 for sheets.

This is an old question with somewhat dated responses so I thought I would comment since I purchased the king in white 2 years ago and no want the gold. The sheets are crisp - almost hotel quality and feel and do not pill, thin out or bunch. I follow the simple care instructions and have had great luck with this brand. I have these exact same sheets in white and beige (ivory).

Mine started out with the flat sheet being weirdly sized (longer than normal but too narrow for my queen-size bed) and the fitted was perfect (deep enough for my feather topper), however the bottom shrunk so bad that I can no longer use. The sheets were washed in cold water, and dried 10 min. to remove wrinkles, then finished line-dried. The Renaissance sheets are my worst Amazon purchase.

How has your luck been with these new sheets so far? I have bought two pairs of these in the past and now I just bought the ivory set as it is back in stock. Now I am a bit concerned as to what people are saying as well!

I did not buy these. I bought sheets from O stock for 600 Thread Count Embroidered Sheet Set with Bonus Pillowcases. I love those.

Yes, they are good sheets. Not anything luxurious, but my son loves them. They wash fine and they don't pill. I would definitely buy them again.

I asked the same question and was told normal sheets--- it's true! Fitted sheets fit right on like a mattress, so if you order a full size T&N bed, use full sheets.

My error, I just looked at my history on Amazon, and BOTH of mine were bought from Defense Acquisitions. I read some of the other responses, adn I agree, if you want something new, then buy new. Having said that---they are washable, and other than the fact that someone else slept in it, I can't tell the difference. If that doesn't bother you, save yourself the money.

Well, it was 87 the other day and the sheets were wonderful. Wrinkly, but wonderful, lol.

I've had these sheets for several months now and they have not pilled yet. Have also gotten softer the more I wash them. I like them. They are definitely not high end sheets but I only paid around $50 for a king size set so I can't complain. I would buy them again. Hope this helps.

No love these sheets but wash an dry following all directions. My husband is 6'4 and 200lbs and has worn through others like wamsutta, but love, love these, So sorry, you should contact them must be a flaw

At that time they had it on amazon and at Macy's. problem is it only comes in twin or full. We needed queen. So I found some really amazing sheets at target that look fantastic. Kind of a blue gray and super comfy so they match perfectly. Good luck!

Every review I have read says they WISH they would have bought the Sleep Innovations mattress for $400 ish instead of $3,000++ You can see some reviews on Sleep Like The Dead forum site. I have a Sleep Innovations mattress and it is surely the BEST I have ever had in nearly 50 years. Also, if there is ever a problem with mattress you take a photo of it and fax or email them a request and they mail you a new mattress no questions ask not that you will need another one! http://www.sleeplikethedead.com/bed-mattress-review-home.html

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.

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.

I have found that 600-800 thread count keeps the down in. You need to get 100% down, or else the feather quills will stick out no matter what you do. Down, and at least 600 thread count, and you should be in good shape. Long-staple Egyptian cotton or equivalent is great, but it's not completely necessary. Be really sure the place you buy it from has a good return policy I bought from this vendor, and what they listed as Soft turned out to be Hard As A Rock. As it turns out I had a need for bolsters, so they are repurposed, but I definitely would not use them for under my head...I don't like sleeping on rocks!

My mattress is very very thick. I went a size up. You won't regret these sheets. They are simply wonderful for the price. So soft and comfy. I suggest if you're worried about the size just go up.

It may be another deliberate misinformation from this vendor. Their pillows are VERY small, 21x15, and when I bought them they had an artificially low price and, to my annoyance, a very high shipping rate. I would avoid buying Sleep Master products in the future, and I suggest you avoid them as well.

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 don't know; nor have I ever heard of "ply" in reference to anything but toilet paper! But these are not flimsy sheets. They have a nice sturdy percale weave. They are not sateen, which usually is made with very fine threads, so while the thread count appears low, that is normal for the heavier weight thread used in traditional percale weave. If you are looking for soft, drape-y sheets, these are not the ones to buy! However I heartily disagree with the reviewers here who thought they are scratchy. These sheets are the epitome of an old-fashioned crisp white sheet, which was exactly what I was looking for! I don't know; nor have I ever heard of "ply" in reference to anything but toilet paper!

Hi Lauren! I was able to find sheets and a mattress pad to fit this mattress at Buy Buy Baby. You have to look in the Portacrib section of the store. The sheets are jersey knit (Kidsline) and come in a lots of pastel colors and the mattress pad I found at Buy Buy Baby (BBBasics) fits the mattress nicely. They are sized 24x38 which is the size of the mattress at Amazon. The sheets are located in the Portacrib section of the store or if you search online - Portacrib sheets. I have washed both the sheets and mattress pad (cold water, low dryer) and they came out great. I wasn't able to find any sheets through Amazon to fit this mattress so I had to look locally.
