Review of Wamsutta Sateen Couture 500 Queen Fitted

This is another high-quality product from wamsutta. It is lightweight--not stiff at all, and it feels much more luxurious and fine than other sheets with similar thread count, both because of the quality of the 100% combed supima cotton, and because other cheaper brands often cheat on their thread counts by simply doubling up the threads rather than actually making the weave finer. I just bought these (from a different vendor, not from Amazon) in the sage green color (Queen Fitted), and there is a definite luster--more than it shows in the photo above, though I have no idea how it will hold up after washing. The product specifications given on the Amazon site are correct and match with the specifications given on the plastic zippered packaging. The fitted pockets really are extra deep, and look like they would accommodate up to an 18" thick mattress--I can only test it on my 16" one, and I'm happy to say it fits that with room to spare (or a little leeway for shrinking in the wash). Also, the elastic goes all the way around, to ensure a good fit. It does wrinkle quite a bit, but not any more than do other 100% cotton sheets.

About the price: shop around; I'm sure you can find a better deal that Amazon's ($79.99 at the time of this posting), $20 or less is a reasonable range for one queen-size fitted sheet (I got mine for about 10 bucks, new in package at a discount retailer).
