Content: These sheets are good, but a bit disapointing in some respects. They come out of the dryer very wrinkled. The bottom sheet fits tight enough that it isn't a concern, but the top remains too wrinkled for my taste. I don't mind ironing the pillowcases, but that is as much ironing as I care to do. These sheets are much heavier than I have had before, but not uncomfortable. I don't know if I would buy them again, just for the problem with the wrinkles. I think if they were hung on a line to dry, they would be fine. How many of us have that great old time tool? Not me!
Summary: Good, but not great.

Content: These sheets are heavy and seem to be of very good quality. I have normally purchased sheets based mostly on looks and price. Sounds silly but I think I actually sleep better with these sheets. Kind of makes me feel more snuggly at night (sounds lame for a guy to say that but I couldn't think of any other way to put it).
Summary: Good sheets

Content: Well this product is a case in point on why the quality of the cotton matters more than the threadcount. To me this product seems more like a marketing gimmick than a genuine luxury design. If you took away the 1,000 and did a simple hands on test you would rank these sheets near the bottom.
While these sheets are thick and I have every reason to believe they are 1,000 thread count they are made in china and were made using commoditized, low grade short-staple cotton. The fabric, after repeated washings, is rough and would probably remind the user more of a drape or low quality, screen printed comforter that a high end sheet. It is not particularly comfortable to rest your face on, and I have 200 thread count sheets which are much softer, supple and inviting.
These were not worth the eighty dollar price tag - I would recommend looking for Sea Island Cotton or Egyptian cotton in the 250 threat count arena - it will feel so much better.
Warning: Amazon Editor's are posting positive reviews of these products. I believe editorial views should be kept in the editorial section and not intermixed with customer reviews... M. Bohlmann "KitchenMaus" (Seattle, WA USA) in particular has reviewed 4 Pike St./Pinzon products - that is a conflict of interest. There are quite a few Seattle, WA reviews as well which makes me think some of these other people were also Amazon employees looking to jumpstart 5 Star reviews to bump up the popularity of the Amazon.com sponsored product (ie. Pike St. = Amazon)
Summary: Lesson Learned: Quality of the Cotton matters more than the Thread Count

Content: The sheets are quite heavy. I knew this from prior reviews. My wife & I like the feel of these sheets. Has gotten softer after several laundry cycles. Would order again.
Summary: Heavy, but luxury feel.

Content: I really thought these sheets would be super soft and oh-so-amazing to sleep on. Imagine my surprise when I get them and they are stiff and so thick. I know that's possibly a good thing but for a hot sleeper like myself, I do not care for the super thick sheets. My husband - whom is the coldest sleeper on earth, even sweated his butt off with these suckers on the bed. As for texture - my BEST comparison is to a new pair of jeans. They may be soft after much wearing and washing but that's what they feel like after two washings + fabric softener.
VERY dissapointed!
Summary: NOT worth the money!!!
