5.0 out of 5 stars
sheets, January 15, 2007
When I received these, I thought they were much too thin. But being microfiber it was just something I wasn't used to. They feel wonderful on the skin,laundered wonderfully, and seem very durable. I would recommend them to anyone. The hunter green color is also beautiful.

PERFECT for those who love "cool spots" on their sheets, February 17, 2007
I was disappointed when I opened the package, because I'm used to flannel sheet or, when I can afford them, high thread count. Even though these are "micro"fiber, they seemed so... flimsy. I loved the color; I have a very "dated" headboard painted to look like malachite, and the sheets looked great with it.
I put these sheets on my bed on a Friday, after work, on a day that I felt like [can't use those words!] - yeah, BAD. They slipped on nicely, and fit my standard full-size bed just fine.
There's something about a shower and freshly made bed, every single time, even though I'm [well] into my 30s, that transports me back to being a little girl, getting ready for bed in preparation of seeing my grandparents the next day. It was a carefree time, when I had no worries and life was nothing but school and family and being a little girl. I try to bring it back because the memories were so sweet.
OH the joy of sleeping on these sheets, especially after a bad day of working while I was feeling so rotten! Forget my fears of the super-fine microfiber. They felt like satin-weave. I have a friend who can't sleep on flannel or t-shirt sheets because she always has to have a "cool spot." You know what I mean; you move in your sleep, and the cool [temperature] sheet falls against you. I'm getting these sheets for her as soon as I find out what size bed she has. They were heavenly. I hated to change the bed.
Because of other Amazon reviews, I examined the sheets closely upon removing them from the washer (regular cycle, biodegradeable detergent) and the dryer. No pilling, no tearing. They felt as nice coming from the dryer as they did from the packaging.
I'd gotten three sets of sheets during Amazon's January sale. I'm rotating them to review - but I cannot wait to put the Pike Street Microfiber sheets back where they belong.

the color is possibly the only good thing about these sheets., August 27, 2007
As many other reviewers noted, these sheets are very, very thin. You can see your mattress or mattress pad through the fitted sheet. And speaking of the fitted sheet, it's not very fitted. On my queen size mattress at least, it's several inches too wide, and ever so slightly too short. The extra width mitigates the lack of length, but i've still got extra material bunching up under me every night, and have to tug the corners down every few days to keep the sheet from popping off the head or foot of the bed.
The only reason i'm giving this product two stars instead of one is that the ridiculously thin material is actually kinda nice on really, really hot humid summer nights. As soon as the temperature is reliably below 85 at night, these sheets will either get thrown in a box until next summer, or just thrown away.
