Not worrth it......., November 25, 2006
I have bought flannel sheets from Amazon before but they were from Martex and they were greate. But, these are just bad. They are too thin to start with, left lint all over the bed and even after washing they have left fuzzies all over the sheets, I cannot even explain how bad it is. I should have waited for another Martex deal.

Better than nothing, October 19, 2006
This review is from: Pike Street Solid Flannel King Sheet Set, Brick Red (Kitchen)
These were VERY disappointing. As with all sheets, they need to be washed when they arrived. On the first cycle, they lost at least 50% of their thickness. Oh, that didn't disappear... all the lint turned up in my dryer (6 cups of it, by the way). Even then, the sheets had pills of flannel fabric all over them... which meant they needed another wash/dry cycle. That one produced 4 cups of lint, and by the time they'd been shaken out (the excess fluff flew everywhere!) they were thin and not all that soft.
I'd followed the manufacturers instructions to wash them in warm on the first run-through, but decided to wash them in cold afterwards. Likewise, although the manufacturer says to dry them on medium heat, the poor quality of the sheets made me worry about shrinkage.
Well, it turns out I had a valid concern. My husband and I had to tug and stretch these to get the fitted sheet on to our king-sized mattress, and the top sheet has barely any overhang on the sides. The pillow cases hardly fit the king-sized pillows as claimed. And the fuzz? It's all over our bedroom. About the only positive thing I have to say for these is that I love the brick red color we purchased.
I'm so disappointed (and so tired of cleaning red fuzz from my bedroom floor, bedspread and pajamas) that I won't buy anything from this manufacturer again.

Beware - poor quality, October 19, 2006
I ordered these sheets based on previously posted positive reviews. These sheets are a big disappointment-- the green is more "lawn" green than "forest" green, so thin you can see light through them, lots of lint as others have noted, and grey dust balls inside the package when I opened it! Save your money and don't buy this product.
