Review of Pinzon 500-Thread Count Egyptian Sateen Sheet Set

Buy these sheets while you can, don't hesitate.These are superior sheets, the softest I have ever experienced, and today I am ordering 2 additional king sets and more for my guest room. I have used Egyptian sateen sheets for the last 25 years and have wanted to kick myself for not purchasing additional sets each time I had to replace my sheets---btw, I have only replaced my Egyptian sheets every 7 years.This time I am buying the extra sets.It was a hard decision, but I finally decided to disregard the unhappy reviews and order a Pinzon king set. I am so glad I took the chance.

The rough texture others experienced may result from how they were originally washed and dried.As soon as I received these sheets, I washed them in cold water with cold water Tide. I then dried them with some dryer sheets on the most delicate setting for about 15 minutes and then put them on air dry.That was it, they came out with very almost no wrinkles (I took them out immediately) and as soft as any sheet I have ever purchased. Today, I was washing an old set of sheets and one of my new Pinzon pillow cases went in with the old.I left everything in the dryer on high heat overnight. When I pulled the pillow case out it was rough, wrinkled, and did not even resemble my sheets.I threw it back in with my delicates on cold and long story short, it came out just beautifully.You will not have to treat these sheets so delicately after a few washes, but it is worth it to slide into sheer bliss when I go to bed.I am very picky, I will not sleep on crisp or rough sheets, so had these come out rough I would have returned them immediately for replacements.

The search for this product is confusing.You get a result for Queen sheet set and if you go to that page, you then select King. Amazon and the seller need to fix that.

Fabric Definitions
Egyptian Cotton: Egyptian cotton is used to make some of the highest quality linens in the world, including sumptuously soft bath and bed linens. Egyptian cotton is grown to produce a longer staple, or fiber, than generic cotton, and the longer and finer a cotton staple is, the better able it is to be spun into finer count yarns, which in turn can be knitted or woven into soft, fine, and luxurious fabrics. The staple length in Egyptian cotton averages 1-1/8 to 1-1/2 inches, but can reach over 2-1/4 inches, which is twice the size of a generic cotton fiber. Products which highlight construction of Egyptian cotton are usually referring to the extra-long-staple cotton produced largely in the Nile River Valley. The humidity and rich soil around the Nile delta produce especially long cotton fibers, which are fine and vary from a light cream to dark tan color. Egyptian cotton is strong, durable and, if cared for properly, will be long lasting.
Sateen: Sateen fabric has a supremely soft, satin-like finish resulting from a four-over-one thread weave. Standard weaves, like percale, use a one-over, one-under stitch. The four-over weave puts more threads nearer the surface, resulting in a softer, warmer surface. Sateen fabrics are most often made of mercerized cotton, but can be made of other fabrics, including cotton blends, polyester, and rayon. Mercerized threads give sateen fabrics a higher luster. Mercerization, named for process-creator John Mercer, involves treating threads with a cold concentrated sodium hydroxide solution. Mercerization also increases strength, dyeability, and resistance to mildew, as well as reduces lint. Sateens can be produced in light and heavy weights, and are ideal for bedding.
