These are great sheets. The washing instructions on many products (including these sheets) have changed to say "NO FABRIC SOFTENER" . Apparently, fabric softener causes the fabric to thin and disintegrate, which is why some people may complain about shredding. I had a very expensive sheet set and this happened to me. Your brain wants to add softener to make your bedding more cozy, but it is destroying your fabrics. We are now using wool dryer balls to control static and the sheets do come out soft. I hope this helps someone!

These are garbage. Not like the 450 MM sheets I bought last year. They changed the fabric formula. I bought 3 pairs, and I almost cried because I loved the sheets I got throughout the years. I will be returning these. Wish I had saw the more recent reviews in the last months of people saying they have done something differently! Do not buy if you liked the ones you bought a year or more ago. What a true disappointment. They are not as thick, scratchy, odor upon opening, and of subpar quality from my online purchase. I’m bringing these back to the local store.

I needed to replace sheets that I've had for over 10 years that I can't find any longer. I had high hopes for these sheets after reading the reviews and description. However, I was hugely disappointed. 1. Even though the description states they have a wrinkle-free finish -- they do not. My old sheets used to come out of the dryer with one wrinkle in them -- absolutely beautiful! These have wrinkles straight out of the dryer and I doubt I could even get them out easily with an iron! 2. NOT soft at all!!! I literally had to put a different pillowcase on my bed and put a blanket on top of the sheet so I could sleep without feeling like the sheets were scratching my skin. And, this was AFTER washing 3 times with both liquid fabric softener, softener sheets in the dryer, and wool balls in the dryer to aid in softening!!! 3. They are hair and lint magnets! Any lint or hair will stick to these like glue. And, you can't even brush the hair off easily! I have 2 very long, thick coated dogs -- they don't even sleep on the bed and their hair was all over these sheets! I've never seen anything like it! 4. You cannot move easily under these sheets. Something about the fabric makes whatever you sleep in stick to them. Not easy to turn over or move because it takes such effort to get unstuck! And, because they're so scratchy -- you can forget about not wearing anything in bed! Huge disappointment. The only positive things I can say is I liked the elastic all the way around and the labeled sides. They seemed to fit well and I also liked the color I purchased -- which was Ash. It is a nice, dark, brownish taupe color -- exactly what I was looking for.

We bought two sets of these sheets. We've been using and washing them for over a month now, and I have nothing but good things to say. The fitted sheet truly fits a thick mattress, and the sheets are very soft and good quality. The have a shiny, sateen look. I think they will last a long time.

Very nice sheets!! heavy but soft, read previous reviews before buying and yes there was a plastic smell when opening package but I washed 2 times before using and smell disappeared. Large pockets if you have a topper on the mattress. Would recommend highly

These sheets are an excellent value for the price. I have 2 sets now and they are wonderful. I love the deep pockets on the fitted sheets. And the colored inserts are very nice and make placement on the mattresses very easy. I will buy more and recommend them highly.

These sheets arrived today. They were well packaged and they felt soft and smooth. I washed them immediately so that I could use them tonight. After removing them from the dryer they were creased but I was not too concerned. they definitely did not feel as soft and smooth, there few random threads were hanging out of the weave in the middle of the flat sheet but my biggest surprise was the hole in one of the brand new pillowcases that were unpackaged about 70 minutes ago. Will not be purchasing sheets from Sams in the future.

The bottom sheet will start shredding and ripping in about 6 months. I have purchased 2 sets just to see if the first one was just a mistake. Better homes and Garden sheets have lasted twice as long. Do not purchase, unless you replace your sheets every 6 months.

Like all new things that can be washed, I wash/clean before using (dishes, pots and pans, blankets). This set of sheets had a very strong mildew odor, so if you don't usually wash/clean before using these it may be required to wash before using. After washing, the sheets provided an excellent source of comfort, softness, and relaxing feeling.

I was really hoping these would be like the 450 count sheets I purchased in past with the think elastic edging. They were nothing like my past purchase. On top of that, they had a horrible odor. After several washes including vinegar, the sheets still smelled! I am returning. :(
