Enjoy the silkiness of Egyptian cotton in a 400-thread-count sateen weave in this Full-size sheet set from Pinzon. The set includes flat and fitted sheets, as well as two pillowcases, each woven of double-ply yarns. The flat sheet and pillowcases have 6-inch hems, each with two colored bands of satin stitching. All-around elastic and 15-inch deep corners on the fitted sheet ensure a snug fit on thicker mattresses. Available in a choice of sizes and colors, the sheet sets are made to coordinate with Pinzon's Hotel Stitch duvets, shams, and bed skirts, but will go with existing home collections as well. For the best care, machine wash the set in cold water and dry using a low-heat setting. Avoid the use of chlorine bleaches. The set is imported and measures as follows: 89-by-97-inch flat sheet, 54-by-75-by-15-inch fitted sheet, and 20-by-30-inch pillowcases.
The Fabric
Egyptian Cotton: Egyptian cotton is used to make some of the highest quality linens in the world, including sumptuously soft bath and bed linens. Egyptian cotton is grown to produce a longer staple, or fiber, than generic cotton, and the longer and finer a cotton staple is, the better able it is to be spun into finer count yarns, which in turn can be knitted or woven into soft, fine, and luxurious fabrics. The staple length in Egyptian cotton averages 1-1/8 to 1-1/2 inches, but can reach over 2-1/4 inches, which is twice the size of a generic cotton fiber. Products which highlight construction of Egyptian cotton are usually referring to the extra-long-staple cotton produced largely in the Nile River Valley. The humidity and rich soil around the Nile delta produce especially long cotton fibers, which are fine and vary from a light cream to dark tan color. Egyptian cotton is strong, durable and, if cared for properly, will be long lasting.
Sateen: Sateen fabric has a supremely soft, satin-like finish resulting from a four-over-one thread weave. Standard weaves, like percale, use a one-over, one-under stitch. The four-over weave puts more threads nearer the surface, resulting in a softer, warmer surface. Sateen fabrics are most often made of mercerized cotton, but can be made of other fabrics, including cotton blends, polyester, and rayon. Mercerized threads give sateen fabrics a higher luster. Mercerization, named for process-creator John Mercer, involves treating threads with a cold concentrated sodium hydroxide solution. Mercerization also increases strength, dyeability, and resistance to mildew, as well as reduces lint. Sateens can be produced in light and heavy weights, and are ideal for bedding.
With so many on offer these days, it is great to have a name you can trust. This item is certainly that and will be a perfect buy. The distributor have added some great touches and this equals great value.

I wanted to love them - but disappointing!
I travel a lot for work and stay in some wonderful hotels around the world... and am always amazed at the quality of their sheets. I ordered these hoping they might approximate what I've seen in those hotels. Nope. First off, the embroidery is not on the fitted sheet, only on the flat sheet and pillowcases, and it shrunk at a different rate than the sheets, so it's a bit puckered after first wash. I could live with that if the material was truly soft and luxurious... but I found it to be rather rough, a fairly ordinary sheet. The sheets I've bought at TJ MAXX and Marshalls advertised at the same threadcount around the same price are much more luxurious. If these soften with more washes, I will update this review.
Otherwise, you might want to keep looking! Hope this helps.

Two thumbs up!
The sheet set was part of the Hotel Collection that I got.
I consider myself to be a savy shopper so I'm pretty adamant about making sure that I get what I consider good quality for a great price. When I got the sheets, I was impressed with the beefiness of the fabric, the smooth hand feel as well as the quality of the embroidery. The embroidery on the top is very well done - elevated, smooth with no snags, and the bottom side is cleanly finished. None of that unsighly loose threads, or the interface/stabilizer showing through. You can tell a lot about the quality of a garment/home textile, after it's been washed. The set held up very well. The edges didn't have that unsightly twist; the embroidery areas were still clean, no excessive puckering and very little shrinkage. Great value for this item.
One caution - it's due to my own carelessness as I didn't follow the directions. The care instructions say "Use Non-Chlorine Bleach When Needed". Take this advice...
honest review
...i paid $60 for these sheets.....average sheets...not great, nothing spectacular, just some plain vanilla sheets. Worth 60 bucks? hmmm...i'd say not really, but I have the matching duvet cover so I kind of had to get the sheets. The set is pretty to look at, but comfort is just okay.
