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.

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).

Only buy this mattress if you want a GREAT sleep at a very reasonable price. I am sure you can get just as good of a mattress for $3000 as well. If you are curious about the differences between the high-priced and lower-priced foam mattresses, you should check out a website called sleeplikethedeadDOTcom - it has a lot of very interesting information, and I found it to be quite objective. By the way, I absolutely LOVE my Sleep Innovations mattress, and plan on buying another one.

i have other 1500 thread count sheets, and these sheets seem to have the same texture and feel. I cannot say that they are the same count for sure. they are definitely much better than a 200 count sheet is .

I agree with all the previous answers. We've had these sheets for several years, and washed probably 20 - 25 times (we have two sets so they rotate) and they have neither thinned, nor pilled. Worth every penny.

I purchased these a couple months age. They are Italian cotton not Egyptian. 1500 refers to how many threads there are per inch. They aren't the highest of highest qualty sheets, but, for the price they are much nicer than anything you'll find at Walmart (I've purchase there before) for even close to the same price. Really, I found them to be a good buy.

While I'm not sure about these, my 2 sets of Renaissance SATEEN sheets are really deep and generous with the pockets! I own an 18" Serta Vera Wang queen pillowtop mattress, and they fit it perfectly! I am assuming that these sheets are the same, with those deep pockets...Renaissance sheets are made in India.-- Lillian

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.

You may have better luck, but after having bought the drapes and a couple of the large square pillows, I did a search all over the internet a while back and couldn't find any, so I just bought a similar color from elsewhere. It appears that the sheets are no longer being manufactured. Too bad. They look perfect for my use.

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.

The sheets are not Egyptian cotton. The name of the sheets are Italian 1500. The sheets are a synthetic blend not 100 percent cotton. I have a set of Egyptian cotton sheets they cost me a lot of money. They also last for years. I would not purchase this item again. If you read my description I stated how the bottom sheet came unsewn around the elastic. I believe the description by the manufacturer is very misleading. Look at that again, it says "Italian 1500 thread count Egyptian cotton." I would ask manufacturer to make up their mind, is it Italian or is it Egyptian??? See what I mean. Other reviews state it is a 1500 thread count, my answer is no way no how are the sheets this high a thread count. Hope this helps...also one review reads that 1500 thread count means there softer. If the sheets were this high of a thread count they would not be so thin that you can see through. Thread counts is the amount of threads used when making the material. I don't know anyone who sales 1500 thread count sheets for the price these are. They are soft but not worth the money if the elastic is treated with a chemical to make it seem tight before washing then after washing the elastic is weak and sheet comes unsewn around that elastic.

I would be careful buying this mattress pad...I use a name brand sheet called Bradford home fashions...they sell them on Amazon its their Luxury ultra soft set. comes with bottom, top and pillow covers, its actual the most comfortable sheet set I have ever owned! I think its only around $30. So its cheaper than anywhere else and the quality is superb!! Super soft...good luck I hope I helped you out.

I got my sheets from Amazon. Graco has fitted sheets for 6-8 dollars apiece and they are VERY snug.

I had the same issue with my last order. When I ran out, there was not time to order from Amazon, as we were going away. I bought some from my vet. They were nice and soft, like they used to be. Perhaps Amazon should reconsider their supplier or keep fewer in stock, so they do not become hard and stale.

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.

These are actually very high quality sheets. I had my first set "pill" also. I did some research and discovered that drying cotton sheets on high heat will compromise the cotton and therefore it will pill. I purchased a second set as I love the way they feel and also the way the fitted sheet has thick elastic all the way around preventing any slipping of the bottom sheet. I have only dried this set on medium heat and they have held up beautifully, only getting softer each time. They really are the best sheets I've found, but you must dry them on a lower heat setting.
