These are VERY high maintenance sheets. Come out of the dryer very wrinkled. Needs ironing. Standard pillowcases do not fit queen size pillows, as advertised. They are too short.

While these sheets "might" be durable, don't expect a high quality "feel". They feel okay when you open the package but its down hill from there. After one wash, you get a very wrinkled and very thin set of sheets.
ProsDurable, Great Value, Comfortable, a very best buy
I've had these sheets for several months now. I can see only two things wrong with them as I don't mind a few wrinkles which our bodies iron out. 1. I have a bad back and they don't put themselves on the bed. 2. The top sheet is a wee bit too long for my feet to free themselves in the middle of the night. We really like the crisp feel and the sturdy hand of the fabric. No more cheap sheets for me. My husband tears out the left bottom with his heels and it's hard to find sheets where you can buy individual pieces. Another reason I like buying these by the piece is that we have a king-sized bed with several different sizes of pillows. Now I have cases that fit! I learned about these from a well known consumer magazine and am greatful for their recommendation.
These are most definitely not the cool, crisp, old-fashioned sheets that Bean used to carry. While they're good quality, if you want that clothesline crunchy feeling that's so wonderful on a warm summer night, you'll have to look elsewhere. And if you do find them elsewhere, please do let me know because I've been searching since Bean discontinued their 220 Count Percale sheets about a year ago. Bean, bring back those super substantial 220 count 100% cotton sheets that you used to carry. I'm sure I'm not the only person who misses them
