California Design Den King Size Sheets Set - Soft 100% Organic Cotton, Crisp Percale Sheets with Deep Pockets, Breathable and Durable Bedding Set - White

Imagine a sappy TV commercial for fabric softener or lemonade or life insurance. You're in the backyard. The sky is radiant blue. There's a kid on a tricycle, a glass of lemonade on a picnic table, and various family members talking and laughing in slow motion. A ray of sun bursts through the laundry that is drying on the clothesline and causes a charming lens flare on the camera. [Stick with me. I'm going somewhere with this, I promise.]Now... think closely about those bedsheets, blowing in the breeze. Get really specific in your imagination. Do those sheets look SILKY? Are they shiny and glossy? Do they look slippery? Nope. They just look like... linen. Or cotton. Crisp, clean, inviting. Those sheets you're picturing - they have a PERCALE weave, not sateen.For years I've been unhappy with the various bedsheets I've owned. Sheets are tricky bastards. I've been hoodwinked over and over. I go to the store, unzip a corner of the packaging, and shove my hand in as far as I can. I close my eyes and try to imagine lying on them. "Oooh, these are so silky and smooth! Oh my giggledy-goggledy-gosh! So soft! I just have to have them!" I giggle like a little girl and fling open my wallet. [SIDE NOTE: For what it's worth, I'm a long-haired straight dude who lives alone in an RV in the woods. But yes, I've been known to giggle.] I race home, wash the sheets, and dive headfirst into my newly made bed. Halfway through the first night, I'm already disappointed. They felt great for the first 2 minutes and then... something's just wrong. Sneaky sheet-bastards tricked me again! But how???It took me until my 40s to figure it out. I don't want silky sheets. I don't want sateen.I just want sheets that feel like... sheets. I want PERCALE.I spent 20 years touring as an actor - countless nights in hotels. I always loved the feel of hotel sheets. Guess what? They're not sateen. They're PERCALE. Ninety-eight percent of the sheets I see in stores are sateen. I don't know why. PERCALE is the weave that feels like home, comfort, and rest. Say it with me... "Percale." One more time, a little louder... "Percale." Well done. I'm proud of you.As for this particular product by this particular company: California Design Den nailed it. The weight of these sheets is perfect. The fit is perfect. The elastic on the fitted sheet is robust and strong - the sheet stays put. The pillowcases don't fit my pillows quite right, but that's a reflection on my pillows, not the sheets. I love that the pillowcases have an envelope enclosure! The whole product feels like it will last. The price is terrific.PRO TIP: Buy plain white sheets. Trust me. (Remember those sheets you imagined in the TV commercial, blowing in the wind? What color were they?) It really adds to the clean, inviting, floating-off-to-sleep feel. I can't explain it. I've always bought dark-colored sheets before but I will never go back! Plus, you can bleach them if needed.So... Forget about thread count. Forget about "you need to spend 200 bucks to get a great set of sheets." Forget about silky, slippery, and shiny. Forget about "this amazing new micro-fiber bla-bla-bla blend." Forget about patterns and colors.Buy this great set of PERCALE sheets, made by a great company, in plain white, and GO. TO. SLEEP.You need it. Reading this review must have been EXHAUSTING.

I have bought sheet sets for 14" mattress--and although the fitted sheets fit well, the top sheet were too short and they were always coming untucked. BUT this set has a top sheet with plenty to tuck under! And the elastic on the fitted sheet is thick, strong and keeps the fitted sheet in place. the Pillow cases are the envelope kind, which was a nice surprise. The color was true to the photos too. They washed well and are very soft. I plan on getting another set of these for sure!

Love these sheets. This is my second set. Comfortable and very well made. Bottom sheet has heavy elastic for a smooth tight fit. Little tags show head and foot so no more shuffling the sheet around. Pillow cases are made like a sham. Highly recommend these. Great price for such quality.

Was very excited to test run a 300 thread count organic sheet set. They arrived yesterday and I washed and dried them today. These sheets have a lighter feel and thousands of microwrinkles. When I removed them from the dryer I noticed the pillowcases have a pillow flap and that the whole pillow border and flap had big wrinkles. I decided to iron them out and discovered one of the pillowcases had a hole--see the picture. The microwrinkles are not a big deal for me as I dont think theyre so significant that you need to iron the whole set. I ironed the pillowcases and the top border of the flat sheet and left the microwrinkles on the fitted and rest of the flat sheet. The fitted sheet also has a thicker elastic band than the other sheet sets I have used, fit my bed perfectly with some room on top to spare so my pillowtop isnt smashed flat by a tight fitted sheet. The fabric feels great, its lighter than others and perfect for hot sleepers, spring or summer, or just anytime anywhere that its hot. These sheets remind me of sheets used when I was young. I am planning to ask the seller to send me a new pillowcase and I am keeping this set. I am overall pleased with how it feels--pretty soft yet crisp. Just perfect! Ill update this review after I have slept in the sheets a few weeks.February 2024 Update: These are awesome sheets. Theyre organic and hard to beat the price. I love the lightness because i am a hot sleeper and these arent super soft but theyre not scratchy. I think will probabaly soften more as theyre washed--but I actually enjoy the crispness. I still think its a perfect blend of softness and crispness. I did receive the replacement pillowcases. I may try their other items, but theyre not organic cotton. I would prefer organic. Its not required, but just nice to have. Right now the 300 thread count only set that I am aware of thats organic.

The quality of the fabric and workmanship is great! There was one visible stain in the middle of the white pillow case, about 1mm circumference. If the pillow case was not white, it wouldn’t be as bad…….quality control missed it. Won’t come out in washing. Brand new white percale sheets with a black stain. But even though there is a 1mm black dot on the white pillow case, these sheets are phenomenal. They are crisp, soft and cool. Very light weight and almost as good as linen in wicking away moisture, but much more soft than linen. The fitted sheet elastic holds perfectly and little tags help you know which side is length and width. I’m impressed with these sheets in spite of the stain. Even with the stain they are a 5 star product!

these sheets beat the sheets ive bought from macys! they are really comfortable and cool. i like how the material feels because it feels like actual cotton instead of those weirdly soft microfiber ones. and the thick elastic stays, which is a plus for a cal king bed that is very hard to get sheets on. they do great in the wash and have not shown any signs of falling apart. i also always wash before use. overall, perfect summer sheets and ill be getting another set

Smooth, crisp, light, cool. They’re everything we want in a summer sheet. No loose threads after laundering, and minimal wrinkles if I take them out of the dryer right away. The grippy lining on the corners of the fitted sheet is a nice touch. I wish they were available in more colours.

I may not be as fussy as some but I am very happy with these sheets. I had read many reviews that said the sheets are noisy and make crinkling sounds when you move but I don't find this at all. I also read some reviews that said these sheets were rough. I find them very comfortable and soft, not as soft as other sheets I have had but this is the first time I have bought 100% cotton. I have up to now had only used microfibre sheets but I find the microfibre doesn't breath and are too hot. They are nice a cool to the touch which is great for us hot sleepers. I ordered full size (double) and they fit my bed nice and snug, they stay in place. The stitching looks good and I like the thickness of them, not to thin and not to thick. I like that they have a tag showing which is the head/foot ends so no accidently put them on wrong and having to start over, lol. I also like the thick rubber band elastic on the fitted sheet I think this helps them stay in place. If you don't like wrinkly sheets and don't like to iron these sheets might not be for you. I machine washed and dry them and they did come out a little wrinkly but this does not bother me.

The sheets are a great value. They are crisp and breathable. The extra deep fitted sheet fits my mattress perfectly and stays in place.

Percale has changed in definition over the last couple of decades, so for those looking for the classic definition of 'cotton percale' these are as close as I've found yet.They are smooth, crisp and cool sheets that are lovely to sleep in for those of us with reactions to certain dyes, fabric, finishes.

These sheets were just what I was looking for. They have elastic all the way around on the fitted sheet so very easy to put on the mattress and stay on the mattress. Even though our mattress is not very tall and we didn't need deep pockets they are as advertised and could have accommodated a much higher mattress. Ours is about 11 inches for reference. The king size pillow cases are quite large so I imagine would fit any pillow. I like that they have a pocket on one end so the pillow won't slide out. I ordered the light beige ones and they are quite light, almost like an ivory or a cream colour. The sheets did end up a bit wrinkled but only because I let them sit in a laundry basket for a while after being washed. I would order again when I need a second set of sheets.
