Disappointed
I usually purchase sheet sets from HBC but have lately not been super happy with their quality for price points and wanted to explore a new brand. Having been "influenced" by some celebs who use their mattresses I thought I'd give them a try for their bedding. I purchased the sheet set over the Black Friday sales weekend. Upon arrival in the mail, they felt super soft to the touch. Post first washing, not as much. They're just ok. A little scratchy.
BOTH flat and fitted sheet kind of have a plastic sense to them. The fitted sheet luckily is mostly around the corners where it's most noticeable. The flat sheet - the first time we put it on the bed after washing it, I spent most of the night thinking, oh great, I spent $150 on a plastic tablecloth. It is noisy, it's actually very long and hangs on the floor off the foot of my bed (we don't have a foot board). I wouldn't buy them again, but I am living with them as I did spend quite a bit of $$ on them, glad I didn't pay full price. The pillowcases aren't as noticeably plastic like. I also like how they encase the pillow - the end folds in so they aren't just open to the world like most pillowcases. Gives a much cleaner look IMO.
I've now washed them 3x and I don't notice the scratchiness of the fitted sheet much, so their either softening up or I'm getting used to it. I still notice the flat sheet's "plastic" like sounds a bit.
Pros - they dry fast, easy to put on the bed.

How to Host
Hi Jen! Thank you for your review. Percale sheets feel crispier that sateen but it will definitely keep softening over time. It takes more time for the flat sheet to get to the same soft feel since you don't rub and touch it as much as you do with the fitted sheet. We suggest you use your flat sheet, tuck it under your mattress and sleep on it like if it was a fitted sheet. They often do that in hotels :) Hopefully, it will ''wear'' and soften as much as the fitted sheet you have and feel more comfortable within a few weeks. Let us know if you need anything else.
