I ordered these based on the good reviews. I chose the gray option not knowing it was gray with white polka dots, lol. Luckily, these were for air mattresses for overflow guests so the pattern didn't matter to me. I immediately washed them and was happily surprised to see that there was no pilling and the sheets remained soft and came out with very few wrinkles. The fitted sheet was extra deep with diagonal elastic straps at the corners to keep it in place. The surprise pockets attached at the top and bottom sides of the fitted sheet was slightly detached due to loose threads but not a problem for me. The quality of the top sheet's hemlines and top fold over are simple-stitched so not designer-like but neat. The sheets are comfortable to sleep on. I noticed that sheet packages no longer mention the words “thread count” but the number 1500 is mentioned on the packaging so maybe that's the thread count but not sure. For the quality thus far after only one night's use, I'm very pleased.
