These are absolutely not 100% Egyptian cotton or 1000 thread count sheets. These are the roughest sheets I have ever bought. The reviews must be old because these aren't even the brand they are advertised as. They do not come in a nice box and they are not the Aireolux brand. They are in a plastic sheet bag and say “Linen Closet”. The packaging doesn't even say 100% Egyptian cotton on it and it doesn't have the Egyptian cotton seal of approval, as it does in the ad. That seal is literally the reason I bought this brand over another set of sheets. It should be on the label.
These sheets can literally stand up on their own they are so stiff. There is nothing soft or luxurious about these sheets. I was hoping it was just starch and if I wash them multiple times, they would get softer. The pictures posted below are after the third wash and soaking them in baking soda, and washing them in vinegar. I was hoping it was starch, but nothing has helped. These sheets are literally wet and they still are stiff enough to stand two feet high. Nothing has helped. They slept super hot and are unbelievably loud. Every move sounds like someone who doesn't pick up their feet when they walk. Have you ever tried to cover up with a piece of cardboard? That what comes to mind with these sheets.
The only pros to these sheets are the color, which is gorgeous and the deep pockets on the fitted sheet.
If this review helped you, please like it so I know that I stopped someone from buying these sheets. Seriously, you could find nicer sheets for cheaper at TJ Maxx.
