Soooo nice to have sheets like "they used to be"! Of all the sheets I have bought in the last 20 years, these are,by far, the best. Plus, after struggling with fitted sheets for my newer, much thicker mattress, I simply bought a king sized flat sheet. I am tucking it in like we did before there WERE fitted sheets. This works very well.
These are good quality sheets and they seem to wash up nicely. They are also nice and long. I did find them rather narrow for our queen bed though. Our mattress is a little thicker than normal but this sheet barely reaches the bottom edge of the mattress on each side when I make the bed. Please increase the side yardage by an inch or two.
I rarely buy sheet sets. I love to mix and match, sometimes even with percale and flannel, depending on the time of year. I got this in a flat floral pine. Beautiful. But the greatest thing is that it is wonderful to sleep with and washes and dries well. I'm going to order the fitted as well because it is pretty and the design is not boring. Doesn't matter what you are wearing to bed, you can easily slide around in these sheets. This is important when you are in competition with 2 little dogs all night. :) At first I considered LLB's sheets expensive but after many years of buying cheaper ones in reputable department stores, in fact, I have discovered that these prices are worth it. I use my other sheets when I make quilts for charities so all is not lost.
I love these sheets! I bought the darker blue which is not nearly as dark as the sheets shown online, but I'd read the review of another customer who said they were not a lot darker than the lighter blue, which is why I bought them, and I am very satisfied with the color. I love the noise they make, even if I hear it in the middle of the night. They are very crisp and seem to skim over my body rather than wrap around it which is a bonus in our hot humid weather this year. I only wash them once every two weeks, and am interested to see how long they last. Please make some in a pale peach!
