In the photo the fabric is very reflective, do the sheets have a cotton 'like' sheen similar to the picture?

There is a shine to them. Once you wash the shine dulls, but the softness stays.

Hi! When I ordered the set, both the shams and comforter were a slight lime green, while the matching sheet set was a nice bright white. So, of course the set looks mismatched. I know the entire set is supposed to be bright white. It seems like a quality control issue in the manufacturing that accounts for variations in color. I posted a picture under images for this set so you can see the difference in color.

Parts of the bedsheets themselves are about a navy blue. However, Thomas himself is a true representation. I've had these sheets nearly a year now, they've held up very well and have not faded yet, which has really impressed me. Hope I've helped. :)

It's more cotton-like. It fits the bed well, but it doesn't provide a lot more comfort and a sheet does, just an FYI

No, they're just mirror-like reflective. And they are actually red in color, until they reflect the blue sky (if you wear them outside), then they look green like this photo. This color thing kinda threw me when I got mine, but they are still pretty cool.

the one i got was actually kind of like that greyish brown, bince the polyester, or whatever they use has a bit of a satiny texture there are reflections and shadows. I wouldn't be surprised if the color varied by lot.

Yes, sheets have silk sateen finish and I love them. I highly recommend them. They are better than ones I have purchased at a much higher price.

It doesn't have the sheen of cotton sateen, but the sheets are really soft and silky feeling.

No. They are not satiny at all. There are two accents on the top that are shiny, which may make them look like satin in the picture. They are very soft microfiber and stay pretty warm in the winter without being hot in the summer.

Yes,this bedding set is a true white. It is not shiny but silky to the touch.

The fabric has a slight sheen, and more of a sheen where the designs are on the fabric.

Yes they are. They are great sheets so far. Held up after washing, and have a nice soft feel.

A slight sheen but look matte. I use them for jewelry shows and they look very classy.

Definitely not shiny like satin (very little if any sheen). Basically, a matte look with smooth feel...without the roughness of linen material. I suppose with lots of starch and ironing could be much stiffer for a extra crisp and less flowy look. Final assessment..sheen level 2 out of 10 and matte level 8 of of 10.

The stripes are paler pastels, but I think would be very nicely contrasted by navy sheets. It is a gorgeous product and I have been very happy with mine. Another person I know accents her's with earth tones. The blue stripes are grayish-blue. Seems like a dark contrast like navy would be perfect.

It is definitely not shiny, it's a linen look with a thicker woven feel. Also washes very well! I got some in white and black and both are equal in materials and quality.

I am in the UK and bought this for a friend's daughter in the US and this is what she wrote to me this morning: "The comforter/bed set came with sheets, 1 standard sham, comforter and bedskirt. Microfiber fabric. I would say it is a polyester/cotton blend. The colors are beautiful and stay true even after many washings. It is bright and cheerful. Reversible helps with the comforter so it can be switched up in looks." Hope this helps. Trea from London, UK XXX
