I purchased these earlier today. I was on the fence with these and the more expensive Egyptian cotton, but thought "what the hey, Sam's usually makes a good product." WRONG! These are terrible. I washed them and put them on my bed and crawled in. They feel like sandpaper or a burlap sack. Needless to say, I crawled right back out of bed and into the spare bedrooms bed. They will be going back to the store in the morning! Hopefully the non-Member's Mark brand will be better. This is disheartening as I read so many great reviews. And people saying they get softer with each wash....I'm not willing to wait and see if that ever happens.

These sheets are not what they used to be. Up until a few years, ago, they were great. They were made with 100% cotton, were thick and durable, and did not pill. Sam's then changed the product. Now, they are made with 100% Hygrocotton (a trademarked name), which is actually a polyester/cotton blend. The new sheets are now thin, they tear, and they pill after just a few months. Please bring back the original version!

I just received these and washed them. They feel very scratchy and heavy. I didn't attempt to put them on my bed because I know the noise and scratchiness will interfere with my sleep. I am currently washing them again with more softener and an extra rinse cycle, hoping that they will become softer. They do not feel like 100% cotton to me at all. That is all I use and these feel very different and have a manufactured feel to the material. I bought some CK sheets for the same price at a discount store that are less thread count and are 100% cotton and those are great. Wishing I had bought another set of those instead.

I have had two of these sets in the blue. The first set developed holes within the first 3 months. We bought these maybe 2 years ago. Bought the second set in the last 6 to 9 months & they developed thin spots, snags & ripped in the areas of where we sleep. I thought the first set was a bad batch but the second purchase was even worse. We have 3 sets of sheets that we rotate every other week. I am thoroughly fed up with this product. Yes $50 is cheap but you definitely get what you pay for. My other 2 sets are 10 years old & are still going strong. I liked the color of the Members Mark sheets so we gave them a try. So much for satisfaction guaranteed.

Very soft.

I was really hoping I would be thrilled with these sheets, as the reviews were so positive, but the first time I put them on our new bed, I noticed that the top hem had a 4-inch section that had not been correctly stitched, so it looked like a gap or tear. I also didn't like the lack of a hem on one side of each pillowcase. So I'm not real impressed with the quality. However, the sheets are pretty soft and the price was definitely good, so. I will use them. I just wasn't as impressed as most of the other reviewers..

I have had my sheet set for only a year and the bottom sheet started to shred. I have never had a sheet do this before. I do not use bleach. The sheets were not washed each week as I have another set of a different brand. I have never had a sheet rip like this. The store would not take back because it was pass the return time. Very disappointed in them.

nice n soft

I have bought at least 6 twin sheet sets from Sam's over a period of 15 years. They are always used by kids/ teens and I don't have a backup set, so they are washed and replaced the very same day every time. For each and every set we've bought, the fitted sheet ends up ripping near the middle. I went back and checked previous purchases and the most recent set lasted right at 2 years. My kids aren't allowed to jump on their beds and they're all old enough to not want to any ways. The ripping is standard despite gender. (i.e. It isn't just the boys in my family.) It's tempting to look at the price and think it's a great deal, but you would be better off spending more and having sheets last longer. I'm looking elsewhere this time.

I have been buying these same ones for like 6 yrs. I bought 2 sets of king size and hubby and I put them on tonight and it tore on the bottom seam corner, which never happened before! I took pics. And they also used to be silkier then now. Now seems like fake cotton. It won't even let me add pictures.
