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 loved these Members Mark sheets. Now they are like sandpaper! Hey Sam’s club, another penny pinching mistake. I was appalled when I washed them before putting on my bed. Filth and lint. Never saw this before. Quality does not count any more? Disgust.

I have purchased these sheets for years and always have loved them until recently. They have been falling apart and I follow all care instructions to a T. Recently they have failed me for the second time, a large hole has formed in the middle of my fitted sheet and when I called Sams for their “member guarantee” they told me there was none and the online help will not do anything about it to help me. This is very disappointing and I will not be purchasing these any longer.

I don’t care for the new fabric feel. The old sheets I bought had a smooth shiny satin finish. The new ones don’t come close. I have suggested these to friends that have a hard time putting on fitted sheets. The stretch panels are fabulous and allow you to make the bed so much easier.

I've seen some of the other reviews where customers said this sheet set came with a horrible smell. Well, the same thing happened to me. I had a set mailed. As soon as I opened the box, I smelled a stench, not a bad smell, a stench of something that crawled in the package and died. I foolishly tried washing them according to directions with Lyson for laundry. It has a nice fresh scent. That didn't work. The set still has an unpleasant smell to it. I was foolish enough to try. I won't do that again. They're going back. I had to wrap them in multiple plastic bags so I can take them back without smelling them.

These sheets are soft and comfortable yet strong and corners fit nice and snug and are strong! Very happy. The top sheet is nice and large too!! am so tired of buying sheets that tear in the corners after a couple of washes and aren't long enough to tuck in on the sides

We purchased these sheets about 2 months ago. Out of the box, they were a bit stiff but have become softer with washing. We like the high thread count (450) and the fact that they are 100% cotton. The sheets are comfortable and feel luxurious. We especially like the deep pockets of the fitted sheet. We have a pillow top mattress which is pretty tall. The sheets fit without problems. We purchased the grey color and there is a slight sheen which looks nice. We would definitely recommend these sheets and most likely will order another set.

Have been buying these fro several years and they are always very good quality. Just bought a other set and there is some differenced and not for the better, My biggiest complaint is the loss of a feature I really liked. The pillow cases have lost the internal flap that keeps the cover from sliding off. This was one of the best things that always had me purchase these from Sams. So we will see of this set works out or if I will be looking for a new brand.

Was so excited to find a good set of sheets. I took them home and washed three times to get rid of bad smell from plastic packaging (per washing instructions). Crawled in bed and realized they were pretty scratchy. Gave it a second night and was done. They were removed! Do not understand how they were so highly recommended.

Awesome sheets for the price. They are very soft after one wash, fit my king size mattress perfectly, and did not fade after washing. We have found these are better for temperature regulating, vs the higher thread count options also. Highly recommend.
