Well this product is a case in point on why the quality of the cotton matters more than the threadcount. To me this product seems more like a marketing gimmick than a genuine luxury design. If you took away the 1,000 figure and did a simple hands on test you would rank these sheets near the bottom.
While these sheets are thick and I have every reason to believe they are 1,000 thread count they are made in china and were made using commoditized, low grade short-staple cotton. The fabric, after repeated washings, is rough and would probably remind the user more of a drape or low quality, screen printed comforter than a high end sheet. It is not particularly comfortable to rest your face on, I have 200 thread count sheets which are much softer, supple and inviting.
These were not worth the eighty dollar price tag - I would recommend looking for Sea Island Cotton or Egyptian cotton in the 250 threat count arena - it will feel so much better.
*** Warning: Amazon Editor's are posting positive reviews of these products. I believe editorial views should be kept in the editorial section and not intermixed with customer reviews... M. Bohlmann "KitchenMaus" (Seattle, WA USA) in particular has reviewed 4 Pike St./Pinzon products - that is a conflict of interest. There are quite a few Seattle, WA reviews as well which makes me think some of these other people were also Amazon employees looking to jumpstart 5 Star reviews to bump up the popularity of the Amazon.com sponsored product (ie. Pike St. = Amazon)
