THESE PIKE STREET SHEETS ARE AWFUL!, August 24, 2008
This review is from: Pike Street 160-Gram 100% Egyptian Cotton Jersey Knit Sheet Set (Kitchen)
I have had a pair of jersey t-shirt sheets for well over 10 years. They have held up well, but have a few stains and a couple little holes. They are a little bit thin on the part where I lay, but I consider them thick in comparison to these Pike Street ones. I was hoping to replace my sheets, but instead, I am keeping them as they are far superior to the Pike Street sheets.
These Pike street sheets are atrocious to try to fit on the bed. Yes, they fit, but are not all that deep. But, the biggest problem is getting them on. They grip, they are not soft smooth and glidey (if you will) like my other t-shirt sheets. You cannot manuever them easily. It took me at least 15 minutes or more to get them on right. They have no give. My other ones just go right on and are smooth enough to maneuver around, and the Pike Street, their surface is too rough and it is a huge struggle.
The quality of these Pike Street sheets is awful! After one wash, they have all kinds of pilling. I thought only polyester pilled. They are very thin. I have the natural color and you can see your hand very well through them! I can't imagine these sheets lasting even half as long as my others. I would love to get another set of the others, but they are Charter Club and I cannot find them any longer, don't think they make jersey sheets anymore. What a shame. They do still make sheets, though, and I may buy the flannel ones later: CHARTER CLUB King Flannel Sheet Set with Penguins & Snowflakes, PG15SS787.
I chose to buy these Pike Street sheets because it was a good price and all the other reviews I read for other brands said theirs were too small. Big Mistake. I don't know if all jersey sheets are made horribly like this, but I don't think I will order anymore jersey sheets by mail again. I need to be able to look at them and touch them before buying. These sheets are not soft and smooth and after one use, they look like I have had them 20 years. Buy them only if you do not mind poor quality and don't mind fighting to get them on your bed correctly.

Very Good Thick Sheets, February 2, 2009
This review is from: Pike Street 160-Gram 100% Egyptian Cotton Jersey Knit Sheet Set (Kitchen)
I bought 2 sets of the Queen Pike Street 160-gram sheets recently. I was apprehensive because of one of the very negative reviews. I almost didn't buy them because of it. I have had problems in the past with really thin jersey sheets that developed holes after the first wash which is just before I put them on the bed the first time or with little ware. I needn't have worried. These were MUCH thicker than the Walmart sheets and some other nameless brand I got off of the net. The fitted sheet fit fine on my thick queen mattress although the top sheet could have been a little wider. I was suspicious of the really good price but thought that I could buy a couple and if they were bad just suck up for some expensive sheets. Well, I bought them and I'm back to buy some more.
