If I could, I'd rate these as -5 stars.

I read the reviews, and decided to try these for myself. During the first wash,the sheets shrank a little bit for a snug fit on the mattress. What was really disappointing was how SMALL the pillowcases became, short by a good 5 inches. They NEVER completely covered our standard pillows. During the second wash, the sheets shrank EVEN MORE. It took us a good 10 minutes to wiggle the fitted sheet onto our mattress. Don't even get me started on how small the pillow cases became after the second wash. Now, as far as pilling, it took a couple of months, but they have become extremely rough. They look extremely ratty and the sheets are only 2 months old. My OLD sheets were nicer, but no longer fit on the (new) thicker mattress. I will NEVER BUY WAMSUTTA sheets again. Don't waste your money. We are extremely disappointed customers.

I have used Wamsutta for years and have always been pleased with their quality and softness. But I sincerely regret having bought these sheets. I purchased one set, and, after the 2nd wash, there was enough pilling that they were uncomfortable to sleep on (all the little "balls" felt scratchy). My husband asked me why we were using the "old" sheets instead of the new ones because they looked so worn! I was so suprised that I called Wamsutta directly, and the very nice lady there assured me that I must have gotten a defective set, because that simply "doesn't happen with their sheets". So I exchanged them with an identical pair. And the end of the story is that I am returning this set for a refund because it is doing the exact same thing. What a disappointment. Absolutely do not recommend, and am now very wary of all Wamsutta products.

I've used the Wamsutta Extra Deep Sateen sheets for years now because they are really the only sateen sheets I can find that will fit my pillowtop mattress well, aside from super high end sheets that are WAY more $$. I've never had the experiences with the sateen finish washing out or the sheets getting rough. In fact my sheets have only gotten softer with each washing. I've never had a problem with major shrinkage, and the pillow cases all fit our Queen size pillows with about 5-6 inches extra fabric to spare! I do own one set of the Couture 500 thread count (Wamsutta Extra Deep Sateen) and they are a higher quality than the 300 thread count, but that's to be expected.

Over the years I would say I've owned about 5 sets of these sheets, purchased from various stores at different times. Mostly I've bought mine from Linens N Things. It makes me wonder almost if some people are getting rejects from somewhere?

I purchased three sets of Wamasutta 300-Thread-Count Egyptian Sateen Sheets and thought I had made an investment that would last for years. The sheets looked lovely, the colors bright with a soft sheen, the texture smooth with satin like feel. I consider myself a "laundry care queen" always carefully following the manufacturers care instructions: within two washes the "Sateen" look and feel of the sheets was completely gone (washed out).

The sheets are very dull and very much wrinkled. They're still soft and serviceable but now I also doubt the thread count. My supposedly lesser quality sheets are more comfortable and attractive.

I also have reservations about Wamsutta products but was very happy with these sheets. I washed them and they were fine, no shrinking, no piling. It should be noted that I don't use liquid fabric softener in the wash, maybe that makes a difference as fas as piling. Exrta deep pockets fit my pillowtop mattress quite nicely with room to spare, something I've had trouble finding in the past. Very soft and comfortable. Overall, I was very happy with this product.

This is my second set of these kind of sheets and they are great. They are very durable and soft and, unlike some higher threadcount sheets, they look great staight out of the dryer. Amazon is definitely the best deal, but I would recommend checking out the colors at a Bed Bath & Beyond store prior to ordering them with Amazon...some of the colors do not show up exactly right on a computer screen. These are great sheets at a great price!

I liked them so well I purchased another set! The deep pockets keep the sheets in place.

I know for a fact that these sheets are completely worth their price. They are extremely soft, they are of great quality and I have not seen many sheets that can match up to them. I highly recommend them.

These sheets are cool and comfortable. They fit our Select Comfort King mattress very well. And after a few washing they still feel like new. I wish I had bought another set or two at the time.

Terrific color not found in stores for extra deep mattress 20" thick.
Very hard to find in stores for under $100. An excellent buy!
