Maybe a bad batch? These were supposed to be white. When taking them out pf package to be washed I noticed they didnt appear to be as white as previous sets we have purchsed. They also were not as soft or thick. I put them up next to another set and they looked a very light cream, checked the package and it said white. I love how these wash and feel but this set didnt have the feel of others. I would still recommend, the price is great!

I have been buying these sheets since 2011 to use in my bed & breakfast. As much as I like the sheets, I have noticed changes through the years - some good, some bad. The good: deep pockets with better elastic on the fitted sheets, and the sides, top & bottom are labeled so you know which direction to put it on the mattress. The bad: the cotton fabric seems rougher than in previous years. The sheets used to be super-soft & smooth right from the package. My guests commented on how soft they were. The more recent ones I purchased are not soft or smooth, and the sheets do not wear as well. My newer (~2-years-old) fitted sheets have developed holes, and my older fitted sheets are still intact. Stitching on the sides of the newer flat sheets has come undone from the bottom, so I have to re-sew the sides of nearly every sheet. They used to have 4 pillowcases in each queen set, but they reduced it to 2 a couple of years ago. I still have 4 pillows on each bed, so I have to purchase additional pillowcases from other companies. Based on the diminishing quality, this may be the last time I purchase these sheets.

Purchased these sheets for my twin xl mattress. The fit was great even though I was initially thrown by the size stated as “twin/twin xl.” They feel wonderfully smooth and laundered quite well, coming out of the dryer soft and wrinkle free. A very good value for the price!

These used to be my favorite sheets, but I believe they changed the fabric. They used to be soft but crisp, regardless of how many times they were washed. Now they have lost the crispness I like, and are just overly soft and seem hot to me. Why did they mess with perfection??

Sewn with extra space for large/deep mattresses. Sheets have a satin sheen and feel soft to the touch but are scratchy when you get in the bed. Not bad sheets for the price but not soft. If you are looking for: price and fit, yet don't mind a little scratchiness these are a great fit.

What happened! I purchased these same sheets last year and absolute love them. The same sheets this time around puckered and lost their smooth texture after washing them per the instructions. They never made it to the bed. I returned them. Assuming Makers Mark changed suppliers or something.

I really like these sheet but after the first wash there was already a hole in them at the seam. I washed them by themselves on a gentle cycle so there is no reason why they should have a tear already. Maybe I just got a defective set???

Love these sheets. The variety of colors, soft/ durable material along with the quality workmanship, makes these the best sheets around. They are the only sheets I buy.

I bought 2 pair an love them both. They are a bit thick but I find that with the higher thread counts. 100% cotton. Can't beat it! Pic is of the blue.

I bought these a week ago have washed them twice already and still can't get the smell out. I have bought them before and never had this problem, took them back but all of them I opened all smelled bad, don't know what to do with them.
