The initial smell was very strong so I washed them in vinegar...no luck, still smelled. So I rewashed with vinegar and another deodorizer and still smelled bad. It's a smell that reminds me of moldy wet clothes that you forgot in a washer. These are going back. I always buy the member's mark sheets at sams but these are different.

We bought our first set last year and bought more when Sam's had a big sale. We washed them first and they were soft and not flimsy.They have been holding up like brand new. They have not shrunk which is great because we have a 15" mattress and not all fitted sheets fit and stay on. They also were such a reasonable price for the quality. Once Sam's sold extra pillow cases so that is the only downfall - I cannot get extra pillow cases. Overall these are the best sheets I have had in a long time.

I loved these sheets when I first bought them, so much so that I bought a second set. Then my son showed me that there is a large shred in the fabric of the fitted sheet. I thought it was a fluke, but after reading the reviews, I can see that it wasn't. Too bad, because otherwise, these sheets are great.

I have been buying these for years - way before they were called "Member's Mark". I still have some I bought 10 years ago and they are very soft. I have bought three sets within the past 18 months and they have all torn. Not sure what happened to the quality.

nice n soft

I have been a big fan of these sheets and have recommended them to many people but not after this last order. I ordered 2 of the artic white which aren't really white but more of a cream color and they smelled terrible when they were delivered. I had 2 different set and both smelled like a sour moldy smell. I thought maybe the boxes they came in got wet but when I was in the store the next time the ones in the store smell terrible too! I washed one set and the smell seems to be better but they aren't as soft as they used to be either. I will be taking the set I haven't washed back and sadly won't be recommending them to anyone anymore!

I bought these sheets in the store a few weeks ago - washed them before putting in bed. Had trouble getting the last corner on for the fitted sheet. Enjoyed sleeping on them. Second time used, again had trouble putting on last corner - so much that the seem ripped about an inch and half. I like the sheets except for that last corner fitting.

I just bought these sheet in queen and king as I always do about every year. Always been very pleased with quality and softness. My go to sheets for everyday and also used them in my beach house rental. Got them yesterday in mail and started to open...oh my, the smell was horrible. Knew something was wrong. Felt material and compared to sheets I have...definately thinner. These are going back. Don't know what cotton they're using that could have such a horrible smell. Possibly full of some chemicals. Sadly after years of loving these sheets I'm going to have to find a different brand.

Very soft.

These 450 ct bedsheets are the best I have. They're heavy duty, soft, they drape over the body which I love without leaving peaks for air to slip through. The sheets are big which makes it easy to make the bed. The top sheet is extra large. I've had them about two months. They haven't pilled. I can't stand sheets that pill because they get all bumpy and uncomfortable. I have a lot of different kinds of sheets, organic cotton, 800 ct blend, micro fiber etc. These are my favorite.
