Average Reviews:
(More customer reviews)I mean, totally. It's hot down here in south Texas, and these have a nice cooling effect. They feel great, fit like they're supposed to; my hands are not the color of the sheets, nor is my mattress pad; and if I slip and slide, it's 'cause it's satin and I'm having a good time on it. Go with the flow, I say. Try looking for an answer, rather than looking for a problem.
Shall I cover the major issues? Let me just say to start, these sheets are great for the price.... and have you priced satin sheets at, say, Macy's lately? But as satin bedding has grown increasingly popular, Macy's has lowered prices, too.
Hey folks, if they don't fit, consider what size you're paying for and don't try to save a couple of bucks by trying to stretch a sheet that's too small. Twin sheets don't fit full mattresses very well. I have a full-size bed. But the mattress is thick (those cushion tops add up, you know), plus I have a fairly thick mattress pad. So, I buy queen size sheets. It's a lot easier on the back, besides the mattress.
Of course, it's polyester, and there's nothing "fake" about that. Most satin we see today is polyester. Silk threads made from silk worms are really not going to be found in this price range. Cotton just ain't gonna work. You see, satin is a type of weave, not a source for thread. [...]
If you slide, there's a reason behind that. Though there are several weave methods for satin, most (and those we can expect to find) are made to be slippery, shiny, whathaveyou. Think of it perhaps as a "poor man's silk," silk also being known in typical forms for its smoothness, thus slipperiness. This is what provides the cool effect and that "nice" feel you enjoy, besides the interesting additions to your playtime. And, yes, your blanket may also slide: that's life in your new satin world of royalty. I wonder if Velcro would help ;)? Say, I wonder if this slippery quality might account for some of the corners "sliding" loose?
I haven't had it happen; but I suppose "runs" are possible, just as in nylon stockings. Try taking your jewelry and shoes off before climbing into bed. If your skin is causing the runs, see a dermatologist. Ever try satin or silk pajamas or nightshirt? They feel good, too, and shouldn't run your satin sheets.
Unless the company's color runs are different, I don't understand some of the color criticisms. I have gold (it's not yellow at all); red, which is bright, rich and vibrant all at once; and black, which is about the blackest black I've seen. At least these three colors are gorgeous to my Monet-loving mind.
The price for these varies all over the place, you can keep an eye on it. It even varies greatly among colors. If you bought them for ten bucks, in which decade was that? Actually, they've been pretty darn close to that here lately. And lemme tellya, that's an incredible bargain. Best department store (no Amazon then) price [...]
Now, I'm sure there have been legitimate problems with these sheets, as there surely will be with anything on this earth. But frankly, some reviews I've read indicate that the purchasers had no idea what satin is. In those cases, read about satin in Wikipedia and feel your sheets thoroughly and chalk this up to education and experience. Remember this: "satin" is a weave designed to be this way, at least in sheets. These sheets are not woven cotton, they are not flannel, they are not wool, they probably are closest in texture to the typical silks we see of any material or weave technique (I say it this way because silk also may have a "soft" weave that is more like a soft wool).
In the case of a couple of reviews, I think somebody had gotten out of the bed on the wrong side.
Does this long speech help anybody with your decision?
