Amazon Basics Lightweight Super Soft Easy Care Microfiber Bedding
[{'review_meta': 'Reviewed in the United States on August 28, 2018', 'review_star': 'a-icon a-icon-star a-star-5 review-rating', 'review_body': "Over the past year I've purchased at least six sets of sheets. I recently discovered Pinzon by Amazon, and their flannel sheets are wonderful, as are the 400 thread count. However, I have yet to be able to configure the right combination of light weight sheets and a light blanket until I found these microfiber sheets. They're different, ok? Don't expect hotel quality sheets. But wow, are they cool at night! I read lots of reviews and made sure to wash them in cold water, dry on low and remove from dryer promptly. They came out perfectly! I have a deep mattress with a gel/foam topper, and the sheets fit perfectly. They do make a sort of slippery sound, but it's not bothersome, just different. I'm here to get another set today. Wish I had tried them sooner.\n\nETA 11/16/19 - I'm purchasing my 3rd and 4th sets of these sheets today. One will be a gift for my mom and dad. Over a year later, I've had no issues at all. They continue to wash and fit perfectly, and are easily adaptable for weather changes. I add a flannel top sheet or blanket when chilly. Can't be beat for under $20 a set. There are additional sets of pillowcases available in standard and king.\n\nUpdate 12/20/21 - I'm back for more! A set for myself, and another for my parents. I upgraded to a larger bed earlier this year and replaced all my smaller sheets (in this brand and style) with identical sets a size larger. All this time later, and I've lost count of how many sets I've purchased, and I still have no complaints. No pilling, no bugs. Just cute, comfy sheets. (Amazon tells me that I've purchased these sheets 11x now!)"}, {'review_meta': 'Reviewed in the United States on February 25, 2017', 'review_star': 'a-icon a-icon-star a-star-5 review-rating', 'review_body': "We like these sheets and love the price. We've purchased at least eight sets in various sizes and colors. They fit beautifully on all of our beds. I wash and dry them regularly (over a year) and I'm not having a pilling problem. The price is great for this quality. I especially like the dark grey.\n\n*Update*\nI was surprised that some folk's sheets are pilling. I did a little research and learned that pilling can be caused by washing your sheets in hot water. Also, try using a gentle detergent. Line drying is ideal; I'm far too lazy to line dry sheets. I wash ours in cold (sometimes warm) water. I tumble dry them (alone - only sheets) on low heat and they still look as good as new."}, {'review_meta': 'Reviewed in the United States on December 23, 2018', 'review_star': 'a-icon a-icon-star a-star-1 review-rating', 'review_body': 'I purchased these sheets in Sep 2018. I have seen a couple of similar reviews with this same experience during that time, so maybe we just got a really bad fluke. But this was absolutely horrifying. Didn’t wash them before I put them on the bed, cause I was too cheap to pay to to wash em, I’ll never make that mistake again. After we noticed some itching, decided to wash them to see this. The sheets them self were good quality, but this has been a very expensive, disgusting, horrifying purchase. Don’t buy these. Let this photo make you want to throw up and look elsewhere.'}, {'review_meta': 'Reviewed in the United States on July 7, 2018', 'review_star': 'a-icon a-icon-star a-star-2 review-rating', 'review_body': '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. For you ladies, I grab it the way we used to grab our panty hose as we put them on. I\'ll grab the sheet with one hand, then with the other and so on until I\'m able to pull it taut and all the wrinkles are out. If the sheets are really bad, I literally have to strip the bed to make it so it looks at least half way made. They were cheap, so this proves the old "you get what you pay for" adage. I\'m not returning them, but I\'m looking for other sheets and these can be an extra set in case of an emergency.'}, {'review_meta': 'Reviewed in the United States on August 1, 2020', 'review_star': 'a-icon a-icon-star a-star-1 review-rating', 'review_body': '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!!! Immediately tossed both into the washer on HOT water and sprayed everything I would find on all the bugs that were scattered everywhere in my laundry room.'}, {'review_meta': 'Reviewed in the United States on December 10, 2017', 'review_star': 'a-icon a-icon-star a-star-1 review-rating', 'review_body': "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. I washed them in cold water and dried them on low, but still they pill. There are tiny crumbs everywhere, including on the bedroom floor. These sheets are not worth buying. AmazonBasics does not mean Amazon's Best, or even Mediocre."}, {'review_meta': 'Reviewed in the United States on December 26, 2018', 'review_star': 'a-icon a-icon-star a-star-3 review-rating', 'review_body': "These sheets seemed too good to be true at $19.99 and due to my being intentionally thrifty, I decided to give them a try. You see, sheets that are considered better quality are pretty expensive and can easily cost between $60 and $100. I'm just not a fan of spending that sort of money on what seems to me should only cost around $20. However, I've learned my lesson. I still have these sheets as a backup but I wouldn't recommend them to anyone, especially people who sleep hot. They're relatively smooth to the touch and seem harmless but they sure do reflect body heat. I thought they would be better than the 100% cotton flannel set I bought but nope. What's worse is the sheets really aren't appealing to look at. Not at all. They are a semi-see-through fabric with an ugly shade of tan/taupe.\n\nIf there's one thing I've learned about sheets and bedding it's that high quality, 100% cotton sheets and bedding make a world of difference in how well I sleep. If you sleep hot, don't buy synthetic sheets and bedding. Buy cotton. Until I recently purchased Target's Threshold 400 ct Performance set I was in the dark on the difference. I also bought a 100% cotton and began using a regular down comforter instead of a synthetically filled comforter. This changed my world and I sleep cool every night. It used to be that the synthetically filled down comforter just laying bunched up next to me would be enough to keep me so warm that I'd wake up at 3 or 4am. Now, I can sleep with the down comforter ON me, it seems, just about any day of the year. So, don't do microfiber if you sleep warm, otherwise, this may be perfect for you."}, {'review_meta': 'Reviewed in the United States on June 5, 2018', 'review_star': 'a-icon a-icon-star a-star-1 review-rating', 'review_body': '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. I should have went with the Utopia brand or these from Sweet Home Collection  1500 Supreme Collection Bed Sheets - PREMIUM QUALITY BED SHEET SET & LOW PRICE, SINCE 2012 - Deep Pocket Wrinkle Free Hypoallergenic Bedding - 4 Piece Sheets - PAISLEY PRINT- Queen, Gray  because they continue to feel soft and comfortable. These two brands of sheets I have had for several years and they have held up wonderfully.'}, {'review_meta': 'Reviewed in the United States on July 8, 2017', 'review_star': 'a-icon a-icon-star a-star-5 review-rating', 'review_body': "I absolutely LOVE these sheets. SERIOUSLY. I have such a hard time finding sheets, even at the Twin XL length, that don't tend to pull off of our Sleep Number raised head mattress. These actually seem a touch too long, which is fantastic. They are VERY soft, and actually have the feel of a silky sheet. I will be purchasing many more sets of these, especially because I have some kids with sensory issues and they will REALLY be happy with the smooth, soft feel of the sheets. The BEST thing about these sheets, though? THE PRICE. Even with coupons, rebate codes, whatever - I have not found any other store (Bed Bath & Beyond, Target, etc...) that offers a Twin XL sheet at a price that is anywhere close to this one (I paid $13.99 when I purchased them in early July 2017).\n\nLike I said - I will be purchasing a lot more sets of these for not only my split king bed, but my kids' beds!"}, {'review_meta': 'Reviewed in the United States on June 3, 2020', 'review_star': 'a-icon a-icon-star a-star-3 review-rating', 'review_body': 'I am a sensualist. I try to make my everyday life as wonderful as possible; I don\'t understand those folks who live with uncomfortable cheap things all year long and then vacation somewhere luxurious for one week. Skip a trip and drop those thousands on making home as luxurious as vacation! Buy the one very good thing instead of multiple so-so things. You\'ll like it more, and it usually lasts as long as multiple cheaper versions because it\'s better quality. Anyway, that\'s where I\'m coming from.\n\nI was hopeful for these sheets because they have so many good reviews. I am very sheet picky, very tactile, and these were so-so. They actually feel exactly like Brooklinen\'s sheets (which are $150 a set). Brooklinen will tell you they are the best ever--but I don\'t like them. The best I can explain it is they feel dry and stiff--like if you ironed them they\'d be crisp, you could iron a crease into them, but I\'m too lazy to iron them, so they\'re just stiff and bulky and always look at least a bit wrinkled. I like my sheets softer, more flowy, like they could take a crease but it would only be a bit of a line, not a tent. (But not so soft that the sheets would puddle, like those t-shirt sheets.)\n\nMy favorite sheets are used at my favorite spa and are $150 a set; to middle-class me, that\'s pricey. They are from Comfy Co. They can\'t be bought on Amazon or basically anywhere that isn\'t their site or a spa gift shop. They were the getting into bed, "Oh, my G*d, these sheets are amazing, I have to buy them!" experience.\n\nHowever, if you\'re reading these reviews, you\'re probably looking for something cheaper, like I was. The best inexpensive sheets I\'ve ever come across are Mellanni Bed Sheet Set - Brushed Microfiber 1800 Bedding https://www.amazon.com/dp/B013FJJSSW/ref=cm_sw_r_sms_apa_i_L2X1Eb205ZE3Q. These are a very good stand-in for Comfy Co., so good that I\'m going to test them against a new set of Comfy and see if the price difference is worth it. I like the Mellani so much I have a set for my bedroom and the guest room.\n\nSo, depending on your sheet style, that\'s my experience. Seek out the sensual, my friends!\n\nI have no association with any of these companies. Thank you for coming to my Ted talk.'}]
