What kind of cotton is in these sheets?

Other than "Pinzon", the label doesn't say what kind of cotton. "Pinzon" on the internet only says that it is exclusive to Amazon. Most of the offers at Amazon say "Egyptian" for type of cotton and "Pinzon" for type of hem stitch. There were very mixed reviews for all of the "Pinzon" sheets. Some complaints of non durability or complaints of the feel of the sheets. Personally, I don't care for "Sateen". I like these because they remind me of the special sheets my grandmother always bought. Hope this helps!

I really can't answer with any intelligent answer as I ordered these for my son in college. But he loves them. I never buy anything but percale weave. And all cotton. Good luck.

percale by definition is 60% cotton and 40% polyester. if it is 100% cotton then it is not percale. if it is 100% cotton percale then its 100% of a mixture of 60/40 cotton/polyester. does the label say 100 cotton?

I think this is nearly all cotton, fairly good quality and stiff. It's better than the knit sheets I bought a long time ago for my hospital bed, which, like you say, shifted under my weight too much.

The sheets are a polyester blend. They have a silky feel to them, but if you're looking for high quality cotton sheets this set is not for you. However, for the price it's a bold room statement and on the plus side, not being cotton sheets means no wrinkles. I hope that helps.

I have no idea. All I know is that they feel cotton-like, are soft, but a little warm (almost like flannel sheets). Since it is winter here I'm cool with that, but this summer will resort to hotel quality high thread count sheets. Great price, though.

I believe there is a bit of marketing at play here. The current description reads "100% Egyptian striped..." It does not say "cotton"! Most people assume, when sheets are described, that cotton is a given with the word Egyptian. Not so in this case. P.S. The sheets are inexpensive but they are wearing well so far.

NO, I don't believe they are. They are very similar to some micro-fiber sheets that I bought. Kind of feel nylon-ish.

Yes the sheets are 100% cotton. Sateen is a polished finish to the fabric leaving it very smooth, similar to satin. If I remember right, these sheets have light stripes woven into the fabric.

Who knows what Egyptian FABRIC means. The vendor specifically states that the sheets are NOT MADE OF COTTON. I've asked, "If not cotton, what are they made of?"

As was mentioned in a previous answer to this question, the labeling is a bit misleading. These sheets are advertised as comparable to 1500 thread count Egyptian cotton; however, in fine print they are 100% polyester microfiber and made in China. They are also thinner than typical cotton. I am not complaining that they are not cotton, but it would be nice if they were labelled better.

believed to be derived from sea island cotton or by hybridization with Peruvian cotton. I purchased this sheet off of Amazon and at first I thought it was not made properly. I will admit I was wrong and that I love this purchase! I sleep better at night because the sheets are so comfortable. I would advise anyone to purchase a set of these sheets.

No, they are 100% polyester!! These are "FAKE COTTON" made to "FEEL LIKE" Real Cotton thread counts of 1500!! Absolutely NO Cotton in these sheets. If they were real you would not get them anywhere near this price. FYI, but do the job for being fake.

I cannot say that it specifically says anywhere. I would assume cotton, but if you have allergies to one of those materials, I would contact the vendor to be certain. They are soft and sturdy and would be very comfy as pajamas - which is why I guessed cotton rather than wool. But I cannot say for certain. Sorry.

I need to know for sure if these sheets are 100% cotton NOT microfiber!? I can't use mixed!! Thank you.

The retailer that originally posted the description on Amazon did that. That's why we describe them in OUR description section that they are a cotton/poly blend. Always read the 'Condition' section of each seller to see the most accurate description.

I can't be sure that they are 100% cotton, but they are very durable and washable. They are like canvas.

Thanks for asking! The sheets are made of egyptian cotton. This cotton has the longest fibers and is most durable and least apt to form pills. They are 300 thread count, sateen weave.

They are microfiber, so I am also unsure why there is any confusion. They feel very soft, comparable to an Egyptian cotton.
