IMPORTANT NOTE: Colors may not be what you expect! No blue!, November 30, 2009
Customer review from the Amazon Vine™ Program (What's this?)
I was a bit surprised when I received these sheets, because the color, called "green/blue plaid" does NOT have any blue in it! The actual colors in person are a lovely muted sage green & a gray color -- I held the sheets up to the light and carefully studied them -- I suppose the gray color might have a slight HINT of slate blue in it -- but believe me, if you want these sheets to match a blue room, look elsewhere! No one would describe them as a green/blue plaid (unless they saw the label first). ;-)
For me, this was a good thing -- I have a light sage green bedroom, and these match beautifully. They do NOT look like sheets for a boy's room, which I was afraid of. They are very neutral, and the 'heathered' quality does a nice job of muting the plaid effect (I think strong plaid designs in sheets can tend to look kind of 80's) and adds a nice texture & depth to the print.
As for quality -- I also own Pinzon's 'Velvet Flannel' sheets, and those are better quality -- thicker fabric. Of course, they're more expensive. These are a good value for the price (assuming you're getting them on sale for around thirty-five dollars and not paying the eighty dollar 'regular price'). They are a little on the thin side. They are nice and soft, though, and wash and dry well. They haven't developed pills like another much pricier set I have from a department store.
So overall, I think these are a good value -- just know what you're getting as far as color! The picture Amazon has is pretty accurate -- it's just the name "green/blue plaid" I'm afraid might mislead people, since they do NOT look blue.

Warm, generously sized sheets., November 25, 2009
Customer review from the Amazon Vine™ Program (What's this?)
These sheets have a beautiful subtle weave. The fabric is a short-napped flannel that does not seem likely to pill easily.
They are perfectly sized - the fitted sheet has a nice tight fit on my 15 inch mattress.
One star off because there were no labels or tags anywhere on the sheets or pillow cases. There was a note in the packaging that laundering instructions could be found on the label. I'm assuming they are cotton as per the product description and feel, but no where does it say they are 100% cotton.
I washed in hot heavy duty and dried on normal and they came out fine.

Very soft..., November 28, 2009
Customer review from the Amazon Vine™ Program (What's this?)
These sheets are soft, warm and very comfortable.
The pockets are nice and deep, fit easily over our pillowtop mattress. There is elastic all around, not just at the corners like some sheets, so the bottom stays snug. All I can say is these are my new favorites.
