I bought this sheet set because it was inexpensive, and because I wanted an additional set for my bed but didn't want to spend a lot of cash. I had waffled between these and a different cheap flannel set (brand Pike Street, also on this site), The greater gram weight (150 vs. 135 grams) of this set is what decided me, and also since the other set had mixed reviews.

The quality of the sheets is really good-- I washed them before I put them on the bed obviously, and feeling them before I put them in the washer, they felt stiff and like denim-- upon removal from the dryer, they were soft, cuddly, and quite thick! No pilling (based on one wash) and really thick and warm, which is what I'd prefer from flannel sheets.

I cannot vouch for the wear of the sheets yet; I only got them recently but wanted to post a review so that others would know that they are very nice quality, and much better than I was expecting for the price!

Also, note that "oversized" is mentioned several times in the description-- this is not a misnomer! The flat sheet is a at least a foot longer than any flat sheet I've ever had before, and actually touches the floor if I don't tuck it in at the bottom! The fitted sheet has nice, deep pockets, and would probably fit a pillow top mattress well). It's slightly too deep for my non-pillow top mattress, but not uncomfortably so.

I got the blue floral paisley design, and find it very true to the picture. The bottom of the sheets is also attractive; white with the darker blue floral design showing.

$10, come on! Asian children must have really sweated these out. Labor concerns aside, these sheets do the job and are worth the $10. However, no one in their right mind would pay the retail price if they felt them first hand.

These are soft enough but nothing about them is at all luxurious. The top sheet runs narrow and quite long and the pillow cases are on the small side. The sheets do fit my queen size futon and average size pillows but I'd recommend getting the King size and just shrinking them some in the wash.

The print is nice, I was pleasently suprised, the earthtone colors keep it from being way too girly. With a green or blue cover these could look classy and even work well for a man.

Even at the incredible Friday sale price of $4.99, I would not recommend these flannel sheets for purchase because of the very poor sewing workmanship. The stitches were very large, and also some of the edges were simply turned over once and sewn with a raw (easy to unravel) edge. The sheet would not hold up well after the first washing. I resewed all the edges of both sheets.

These are awesome for $6! The red floral paisley is gorgeous. The reds are deep and vibrant and the background is a nice peachy color. They washed up great with no piling and are soft and warm! They do not seem large on my pillow top mattress and even if they were for $6 why not go out and buy the sheet holder thingys? What do they cost $3, maybe? C'mon and get over it...if they were too small then that would be more of an issue.

I am extremely pleased, so is dear husband and I hope my mom will love her blue floral paisley ones I got for her as well!!!!! Buy these!!!

I bought 3 of these sets (all Twin) -- the Blue Floral, the Petit Floral, and the Plaid. Here are my observations:

As for quality --- right out of the box, they looked great and felt soft. Only exception was the Blue Floral, which was much stiffer than the other designs. Looked and felt a bit like corduroy. Also smelled like ink, seemed excessively dyed. After a quick inspection, quality wasn't really as it appeared. Quickly sewn together -- uneven hems and loose threads in all sheets.

As for laundering, there was quite some lint inside the machine as others noted. I suppose it's as expected for flannel. Plus side, the Blue Floral did not bleed (used a cold-warm wash) and was much softer after washing.

There was some shrinkage with all the sheets.

The fitted sheets fit a 6 inch deep mattress fine. However the flat sheets were inconsistent in sizing. I received two that were 66 in x 107 in. However, the Plaid flat sheet was only 58 in x 107 in! Since these will be used as spare sheets, I'm not going to bother returning this one.

In terms of value, 3.99 is a super price for an entire sheet set which somewhat makes you overlook some of the flaws. If only the sheets weren't irregulars, I would give it an extra star.

The sheets seem fine but the packaging looks like something you would see at "Dollar General". They come off looking very cheap - not a big deal at all really unless you are giving them as a gift.

When I opened these sheets, I felt them twice to see if they were flannel. Initially, they didn't even feel like flannel. They had a "hard" (for lack of a better term) surface. Washing them is what turns them into soft flannel. When I took them out of the dryer they were sooooooo soft. (My lint trap was PACKED). At this writing they have only been throught the initial washing, so this review is not based on continuous use. I was 100% thrilled until I went to put them on the bed. The corners fit over my mattress fine (ours isn't a super-thick mattress), but I can't say how they would fit over the super-thick mattresses. My biggest beef is that they are side-skimpy. The elastic on the fitted shee is only at the corners and the sheets are skimpy enough width-wise that you CAN get them tucked under the side edge of your mattress, but they will not STAY tucked. So far, the fitted sheet hasn't popped off the bed, but I won't say that day isn't coming. The flat sheet is super long. There is plenty to tuck in at the foot of the bed with enough for a "turndown" at the head of the bed. But again, the sides are skimpy. If they were just a bit wider I would give these 5 stars.

Nice set, very soft and comfortable, they are made slightly oversized and fit a thick mattress perfectly.

A few strings came off them at first washing, but no unravelling or fraying.

an excellent bargain at the $12 they cost me on clearance sale.

These run VERY large and do not fit correctly because of this. However, for the price, I still think they are a great bargain. They are very heavy duty and will probably last many years. They are also very warm. Almost too warm here in southen California. Those people in cold climates would LOVE them! Anyhow, I would be giving five stars except for the mismatched fit. But I just tucked it in really good and they stay on the bed just fine.

After reading some of the reviews on here..I decided to post my experience. We ordered Queen for our Queen bed and these did not shrink. These sheets are so nice and soft! They are very fluffy. So my suggestion would be to BUY these. Where else can you get a set of sheets for 8.99.......the only downside.....one of my daughters has decided she likes these sheets too......so i just bought 4 other sets of these for each of my girls!
