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.

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.

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.

I can't recommend them. They seemed to have a finish that clung to me when I rolled over and took the bottom sheet with me, they were so light weight they bunched up a LOT...cheap, color was gorgeous, but for me, not a pleasant sleeping experience, on their way to Goodwill.

I love these sheets. This was the best $14.95 I have ever spent. I probably should have washed them first before using them. However, they were so soft I put the on the bed and that is where they have stayed. I have had them on for a little over a week and will wash them this coming weekend. I will re-review them or edit my review and let you know how they turn out. This is my only Pike Street purchase, but I will be purchasing more items from them if everything else is made this well.

I would agree these sheets are fairly soft, like 300 thread count sheets.

Some kind of big issues though:

1. One pillow case has a 3 inch opening where it looks like the sewing machine "missed". Should have been caught by quality control.

2. The bottom side of the flat sheet(the side that is supposed to be against your body) is very rough polyester.

3. The fitted sheet fit my 16" deep pillow top very well. But was a much lighter shade of taupe. Noticeable.

4. The pillow cases were two different shades of taupe. One was almost white! Even worse than the flat/fitted sheet difference. I can take a picture if anyone asks me to.

5. The "taupe" in the picture is more of a brown/grey. The "taupe" I got is almost purple/lavender.

Maybe my set was a reject, but I would not buy this brand again.

The sheets are what I should have expected for $25. The sheets are becoming worn after a few (less than 5) washes. I was looking for a good colored sheet, but I really should have gone for something in the 800+ thread count. The low price lured me in, don't let it happen to you.

Wow, these sheets are horrible- felt like i was sleeping on a piece of rough plastic. the material used for the sheet and the pillow cases are very different- the pillow cases I don't mind so much except for the fact that they don't match the bottom sheet because they are made of different material, but the bottom sheet not only felt like plastic BUT it didn't even fit my king size bed properly.

Bad design, bad material, bad deal. I highly NOT recommend this, unless you like the feel of plastic burlap on your skin.

Sheets are excellent fit and quality, but if you are looking for Sateen these are not, they are soft and supple, but the feel of cotten sateen is entirely different.
If this doesn't matter to you then these are excellent sheets for the money, great price as always from Amazon!!

I gave these one star because I had to. These sheets are garbage. The colors will wash out after the first washing. My blue sheets now have big permanent peach marks in them. And the corners of the fitted sheet have split. I have only had them for a month. Love the way that they feel, however the quality is terrible.
