Let me start by saying these sheets *look* absolutely gorgeous. The sage green color is rich and exactly as pictured – it instantly elevated our bedroom aesthetic. The first night sleeping on them felt like a hotel experience, with that crisp, silky sateen finish against the skin.

The deep pockets (16") fit our thick mattress perfectly without bunching, and I appreciated the foot-side indicator tag – no more guessing which way the fitted sheet goes! After washing (gentle cycle, mild detergent), they came out surprisingly wrinkle-resistant compared to other cotton sheets I’ve owned.

Now for the downsides: While soft, I’m skeptical about the 1000 thread count claim. Holding them up to light revealed more transparency than expected for such a high thread count. They’re comfortable, but not *mind-blowingly* luxurious like some truly high-end Egyptian cotton sheets I’ve tried.

After two months of use (washing weekly), I noticed slight pilling on the pillowcases – disappointing for the price point. However, the color hasn’t faded at all, and they still feel softer than most department store options.

Pro tip: If you iron them (I do just the pillowcases), they achieve that beautiful hotel-style crispness. They run slightly cool, which is great for hot sleepers, but might feel chilly in winter.

Final verdict? A good mid-range option if you catch them on sale. They’re better than basic sheets but don’t quite deliver on all their luxury promises.
