Before shopping for sheets, it is imperative to know the depth of your mattress. I have a pillowtop with a 2 inch foam pad on top of that, for a total of 14 ¾ inches. After researching every sheet set on Amazon, I settled on these because of the 510 thread count, sateen finish, the fitted sheet fitting an 18 inch mattress, and the price of $30.99. I subsequently purchased a second set when Amazon ran them the next week for $25.

What I didn't have access to until I received the sheets were the washing instructions, which are to (1) machine wash in cold water separately, and (2) tumble dry low. They were made in China.

Putting the sheets on the bed directly from the package, the fitted sheet definitely would fit an 18 inch deep mattress; there was room to spare to the point that I had to tuck in the bottom sheet. There was a nice, shiny sateen finish to the sheets. I was further impressed because the top sheet was ample, to the point that there was a 16 inch drape on each side, and around 5 to 6 inches to tuck in at the bottom. The pillow cases were very ample.

While I am able to wash in cold water, my dryer does not have a low setting (old Maytag, which will probably outlive me), only an air dry setting, which would never ever get these sheets dry. This presented a problem in that I had to use regular heat to dry the sheets. Naturally, I expected shrinkage. After the first wash and dry, the bottom sheet now just fits my 14 ¾ inch deep mattress. The top sheet lost length, probably between 3 and four inches, but it did not lose on the width. The pillow cases are a snugger, but not difficult, fit. This information is provided because if you intend to use these sheets for an 18 inch deep mattress, you need to follow the washing/dry instructions exactly to avoid shrinkage. Frankly, I'm not sure that the low drying heat called for wouldn't cause some shrinkage anyway.

I just finished washing and drying these sheets for the second time in order to determine whether more shrinkage would occur (a completely different set purchased from Overstock shrank over several washes). These did not. Regarding the sateen finish, however, it is gone, which, again, may be due to using regular heat for drying; yet, the sheets are soft, not scratchy (used a dryer sheet). This information is pointed out, again, to show that care instructions must be strictly followed to preserve the finish and the size of these sheets. Insofar as wrinkles, I take my sheets out immediately; these do not wrinkle too badly, but do not expect wrinkle free. The instructions say you can use a "medium heat" iron if you want, but I am not bothered by minor wrinkling.

I purchased these for my guest bed because they were a great buy and have had very happy guests, they love the sheets. The sheets are soft and comfortable and are getting softer after several washes. I've recommended them to several friends and of course my guests.

I was a little concerned when another reviewer claimed these sheets were not soft, right out of the package, but I had already ordered them when I saw the review. I am here to tell you, they are very soft, right out of the package. So soft, that I did not even wash them before using! These are wonderful sheets, make you feel like royalty. They fit my 15" matress which also has a 1 1/2" memory foam topper just fine, don't even think of shifting off. The deal Amazon ran on these is just a great bargain.

These came up for $29 shipped free with our Prime account and we couldn't pass them up. They are the softest sheets we own and fit our King bed perfectly. They are definitely a nice quality sheet and for the price we were very happy with this purchase. We were so happy we went back to try to buy another set - but they were already listed for more $$. Our loss!

These sheets feel wonderful and wash like a dream. I'd like to buy a second set.

The sheet set is great, it is niced and deep, which I needed since I have a 2 inch memory foam ontop of my mattress. It is not AS soft as I anticipated, but it was WELL worth the pricec.
Overall, I am happy, and would recommend this purchase to anyone looking for a comfortable, deep sheet set for an amazing price.

This is the first time that I haven't been pleased with a product purchased at Amazon. Sheets were not white, they have a slight cream tint. After the first wash, still not white, lost all "Sateen" shine, very wrinkled, with a heavy stiff feeling. I washed them for the second time with bleach, even though the label says not to use bleach. Color lightened but still not white. Perhaps they will get better as they are used and washed. Wish I had tried a different set.

These sheets have a somewhat rough texture. I have washed them repeatedly to try to soften them but no luck so far. They have held up well to repeated washings but are not soft enough for me to want to sleep on them. My skin tends to be dry and sensitive and I have a strong personal preference for very soft sheets.

I bought this king sheet set from Amazon's Gold Box deal of the day. I thought $30 was a great price for king sheets. I've washed them twice, though, and I don't think they're very soft, especially for 510 thread count. I wouldn't buy Pike Street again. Maybe after I wash the sheets a dozen more times, they'll be softer. I don't regret the purchase, but I wouldn't recommend it.

These are terrific, comfortable sheets at a great price. The bottom sheet fits tightly, yet is big enough to stretch across my extra deep mattress, and the top sheet has plenty of room at the ends to tuck in. The pillow cases feel nice and smooth under my face, too. All in all, a very nice set of sheets.
