When I was about 10 years-old, my mother taught me how to iron by practicing on pillowcases.Came the percale revolution, and ironing sheets was no longer necessary. When I took these sheets out of the dryer, I was transported back to the '50s, and wondered if I should try to find my iron.It was just a fleeting thought, though.
Nowhere, not on the packaging nor on the attached label, does it say the thread count of these sheets, although the label does say 100% cotton. I would say they are 180-count, and are quite rough to the touch. I read somewhere that they were sailcloth. I believe it!
The set does come with two pillowcases, which is not mentioned in the description, and the bottom sheet will fit mattresses up to 16 inches.
I will say that the colors are true to the photo, and quite pretty.So, I would recommend these sheets to anyone who wants (after ironing them) a nice looking bed, but doesn't intend to sleep in it.

Okay, I've been using these sheets for a year and a half now, and I have to say that they get softer and more comfortable over time. The colors have not faded at all with multi-washings.I've upgraded my review from two to three stars. If they didn't come out of the dryer so wrinkled, I would have considered a higher rating.
