Top sheet changes everythang
Color: Solid Off White(flat Sheet Only), Size: Twin
There are a lot of negative reviews due to the price for what is only a top sheet. It is a bit pricy, though I sleep in a twin so it wasn’t too bad. However I read reviews for cheaper top sheets and theres so many stories of them falling apart, pilling, or feeling terrible. Absolutely no pilling or falling apart after the first wash and dry. Stuck it right on my bed and its very cozy and fits perfectly. Not too hot and not too cold. For any first time bedsheet shoppers: i wasnt sure what type i’d want. Cotton? Microfiber? Sateen? I went with jersey because I think the one my mom uses was that and i loved it as a kid. This definitely feels like a thicker T shirt- not as plush soft or smooth as I wanted, but not rough by any means. Its not clingy either. I swapped from a microfiber (cheap set from walmart with cartoon characters on it) and the top sheet literally changed everything. I don’t toss and turn at night! I wake up and it takes seconds to make my bed- i’m not untying a huge knot. It adds such a tiny bit of weight thats so comfy and cozy and not hot. You can be certain you’re not taking a risk with this brand at the price. Very mych happy with my purchase and have been sleeping a lot better.

Not lightweight
Color: Charcoal Dark Grey(flat Sheet Only), Size: Twin
Bought for use as a summer blanket, the weight is heavier than expected and may prove too warm. Otherwise, seems to be a well-made product.

The sheet is too short for my liking
Color: Heather Grey(flat Sheet Only), Size: King
This king sized top sheet wasn’t quite long enough for a good tuck-in. Can’t comment on wearability because I won’t be using it. Did not return because I had washed it
