Southern Tide Home Printed Skipjack Cotton Sheet Coral, Twin,Pink

Considering the price, I'm mostly happy with these sheets. First, they do feel like real cotton. (Sometimes when you order supposedly 100% cotton sheets that claim turns out to be iffy)--And the cotton is not so thin you could read through it unlike some less expensive cotton sheets. The feel of these sheets is soft but not too thin; they have an impressive 'thickness' for the price. They washed well, didn't fade or shrink. It's too early to tell how durable they will be or how well they will stay on the mattress. (If there is a problem with either matter, I will update this review.) I think considering their thickness, they should be durable. There are 2 cons I see: the fitted sheet does not have elastic all the way around. It is only at the corners, and the edges are not hemmed on the fitted sheet, so it is a bare edge and I do wonder if it will start to fray. You can see from the photos I added that the edges are not sewed--but admittedly they do not seem to be fraying right now. Hopefully, they won't. (Again, if they do, I will update the review.) The 2nd con is that literally every sewn edge ends with a long string of loose threads. The photos I added also show that. The worst examples are on the fitted sheet, with some that are 6 inches long. It is also on the top sheet and pillowcases, but to a lesser extent, every hem ending with a short string of loose thread--averaging about 1/2 inch in length. A loose thread is one that will get caught on something and cause damage to the sewn item. But if you cut the loose thread off it could mean you are cutting the thread too close to the sheet and the stitching will be less secure. Well-sewn edges should not look like that. --This makes me wonder if these sheets were considered 'irregulars', meaning someone made mistakes while sewing them, and that's why the price was lower. Or maybe the person sewing just didn't know or care about the edges.--Anyway, even with the cons, I still give these sheets a 4 out of 5 because they are real cotton, I believe, and a great deal considering the price of cotton sheets these days. If necessary, I can sew the loose threads down.

I ordered the (orange) coral color with fish print, twin size, June of 2020.Fun print & color.Nice percale weave, thick & sturdy, cool, crisp sheets that won’t pill. Pet hair brushes off fairly easily. Cotton percale sheets (loved by many for it’s particular qualities), will always wrinkle out of the dryer. It’s a sign that it is actually 100% cotton & actually percale weave. These are stiff enough that it’s a little easier to manage the wrinkly nature than some thinner percale sheets.Taking a star off because I would have loved better quality stitching. Nothing is coming undone, and it is neat enough, but it is single stitch, and is finished with the stitch running off the end of the material, leaving little tails of interlocked thread, that you fear to cut because it may cause it to unravel. Not a big deal, as the corners of the flat sheet aren’t usually on display. But it could be done better.There are 3 types of smooth when it comes to sheets (not even going to include all the hot, pill-prone synthetic types):1)The slippery-smooth of synthetic satin, or silk sheets (not this),2) the somewhat slippery & soft (microscopic fuzzy) smooth of sateen weave cotton (not this),and3) the not-at-all-slippery type of smooth of percale weave cotton where there is no fuzziness at all & it will never pill & pet hair brushes off it better than sateen weave (this is that type of percale-smooth).Some people describe percale as rough/canvas-like when comparing to sateen weave (but there are durability benefits to percale that sateen doesn’t have, and some people find the slight microscopic fuzz of sateen weave a bit itchy or hot. I personally find sateen weave prickly/itchy against my cheeks & sensitive skin, and don’t like that it can pill. These sheets will never pill & don’t have the itchy fuzz. Sateen weave feels really soft on my fingers & palm of my hand, but not on my more sensitive skin like my cheek on the pillow. These are smooth in comparison, in that way.)These say 200 thread count. They are much thicker than the supposedly long-staple cotton 200 TC percale sheets of a different brand that I just bought (those ones are so thin they are see-through, and I am thinking of returning those.)I would never describe these sheets as “silky” like another commenter from 2016. They are the typical percale weave feel, and though percale are sometimes described as soft after lots of washes, they are not the silky or the slightly fuzzy soft like a sateen weave at all. These are crisp sheets that will likely last longer & become softer & better with age.

The material was great, loved the print but the stitching was subpar. The fitted sheet elastic separated after 1 wash in a front loading washer.

Very good material, soft and nice to touch !

I am very fussy about sheets and these are absolutely perfect. (We use 100% Belgian linen sheets for our own bed.) These sheets are truly 100% cotton percale; they washed beautifully, no wrinkles, have deep pockets, and the design is both adorable and yet subtle. We run an Airbnb and I wanted to upgrade our bedding from the awful microfiber we had to purchase when we first opened because we were operating on a shoestring budget. The only good thing about the microfiber sets was the color, a beautiful, vibrant yellow, which I desperately wanted to repeat, only in a better quality sheet. After endless searching, I could only find a couple of "yellow" non-micro-fiber options that turned out not to be true yellow, but either gold or mustard yellow. I was hesitant to buy these because of the mini-fish design that I thought would look silly. Now, I couldn't be happier! They are just the right amount of whimsy and from a distance look like polka dots. This purchase was truly one of those happy accidents, where something I thought probably wasn't going to work out ended up being better than the plain, solid yellow that I thought I wanted! These sheets are vibrant, fun, and yet, understated — and the quality is amazing, truly well-made and the perfect crisp all-cotton fabric I wanted for both our Airbnb and our family guests.

Only after I got these did I realize that my old sheets (which were also supposedly 100% cotton) didn't breathe well and made me uncomfortably hot wherever my body made contact, so I constantly tossed and turned until I fell asleep... many nights I gave up and just got up. I am usually hot, even in winter...pretty much wear shorts all year round--to be fair, this is VIctoria, BC and usually above 10ºC in winter. It is summer now (~25ºC) and yet with these sheets I can easily fall asleep without feeling too hot at pressure points. Anyway, I've only been using these just over a week, but suffice to say, I am very pleased.

When these sheets arrived, they felt soft and silky. After I washed them, they were even nicer. The reason I didn't give them five stars is because the hem on the pillow case is twisted and doesn't lie flat.

Pésimo material, parece de plástico
