Organic Cotton Queen Size Bed Sheet Set, Light Grey

I read all the reviews good and bad before I make a purchase. I have a 15" deep mattress and a husband who kicks the sheets until they come out from being tucked. I am extremely particular about softness and quality. This is what I found about these sheets. Yes, they are wrinkled even when you take them immediately out of the dryer. When the bed was made, the wrinkles were pretty much gone. I don't see any wrinkles when the bed is made or when the lights are out so no big deal for me. The top sheet measured correctly to what is advertised. (Curiosity made me do that). The bottom sheet has FANTASTIC elastic and the deep pockets fit my mattress perfectly. I thought the sheets were soft enough and comfortable after the 1st wash. I didn't feel that way about the pillowcases until they were washed a few times. What surprised me is that my husband hasn't undone the sheet where it's tucked at the bottom. My opinion is that the sheets are as advertised. The color is nice and I thought they were priced fairly. I would buy them again if needed and I definitely recommend them.

Imagine a sappy TV commercial for fabric softener or lemonade or life insurance. You're in the backyard. The sky is radiant blue. There's a kid on a tricycle, a glass of lemonade on a picnic table, and various family members talking and laughing in slow motion. A ray of sun bursts through the laundry that is drying on the clothesline and causes a charming lens flare on the camera. [Stick with me. I'm going somewhere with this, I promise.] Now... think closely about those bedsheets, blowing in the breeze. Get really specific in your imagination. Do those sheets look SILKY? Are they shiny and glossy? Do they look slippery? Nope. They just look like... linen. Or cotton. Crisp, clean, inviting. Those sheets you're picturing - they have a PERCALE weave, not sateen. For years I've been unhappy with the various bedsheets I've owned. Sheets are tricky bastards. I've been hoodwinked over and over. I go to the store, unzip a corner of the packaging, and shove my hand in as far as I can. I close my eyes and try to imagine lying on them. "Oooh, these are so silky and smooth! Oh my giggledy-goggledy-gosh! So soft! I just have to have them!" I giggle like a little girl and fling open my wallet. [SIDE NOTE: For what it's worth, I'm a long-haired straight dude who lives alone in an RV in the woods. But yes, I've been known to giggle.] I race home, wash the sheets, and dive headfirst into my newly made bed. Halfway through the first night, I'm already disappointed. They felt great for the first 2 minutes and then... something's just wrong. Sneaky sheet-bastards tricked me again! But how??? It took me until my 40s to figure it out. I don't want silky sheets. I don't want sateen. I just want sheets that feel like... sheets. I want PERCALE. I spent 20 years touring as an actor - countless nights in hotels. I always loved the feel of hotel sheets. Guess what? They're not sateen. They're PERCALE. Ninety-eight percent of the sheets I see in stores are sateen. I don't know why. PERCALE is the weave that feels like home, comfort, and rest. Say it with me... "Percale." One more time, a little louder... "Percale." Well done. I'm proud of you. As for this particular product by this particular company: California Design Den nailed it. The weight of these sheets is perfect. The fit is perfect. The elastic on the fitted sheet is robust and strong - the sheet stays put. The pillowcases don't fit my pillows quite right, but that's a reflection on my pillows, not the sheets. I love that the pillowcases have an envelope enclosure! The whole product feels like it will last. The price is terrific. PRO TIP: Buy plain white sheets. Trust me. (Remember those sheets you imagined in the TV commercial, blowing in the wind? What color were they?) It really adds to the clean, inviting, floating-off-to-sleep feel. I can't explain it. I've always bought dark-colored sheets before but I will never go back! Plus, you can bleach them if needed. So... Forget about thread count. Forget about "you need to spend 200 bucks to get a great set of sheets." Forget about silky, slippery, and shiny. Forget about "this amazing new micro-fiber bla-bla-bla blend." Forget about patterns and colors. Buy this great set of PERCALE sheets, made by a great company, in plain white, and GO. TO. SLEEP. You need it. Reading this review must have been EXHAUSTING.

Sheets from Design Den have been our "go to brand" for several years now, as we prefer a natural fiber. Primary bdrm, kids bdrms, guest rooms, dorms & apt. Theses are our preferred sheets. We love the percale cotton feel, as it breathes and is not too heavy for restful sleeping in Southern California weather. (although I have purchased the sateen versions also and they are beautiful as well with a subtle smooth sheen to them). These are very soft, yet crisp, 100% cotton. The dark charcoal color is very nice, rich, saturated and true to the advertised photos. They wash up great and actually get even better with each wash and there is not ANY piling as it is a wonderful natural fiber. The color is still perfect and has not faded at all after about a dozen washes. The deep pockets and fit is perfect on our queen pillow-top mattresses plus a mattress protector. These quality sheets absolutely is worth the money compared to cheaper microfiber options. These are a must buy item!

Update. I exchanged the sheets and the new pair fits perfectly. So other pair was defective. I do like the sheets and if their customer service had been good would have giving them a 5 star. The sheets feel nice not thin but the fit is so hard to get on a Calif king and only have 14.5 inch mattress. I just put them on. Just have concern if shrink won’t fit. I have been trying to find new set of sheets. I’ve looked at so many these had good reviews. I think they could be defective and I reached out to the manufacturer who basically just told me the sheets are that size check your bed size which exactly it matches and then when I said, I think that they’re defective should I return them or should I replace them and their comment was snarky basically if you want to return them and get another sheet, let us know but you’re gonna get the same size that’s not the kind of company I like doing business with very disappointed. The reason they’re getting such low stars is because of the fact of their customer service. If I’m gonna get the same size I might as well just return them as opposed to trying to have them replaced. I was expecting they would honor the sheet saying maybe these are defective why don’t we exchange them and let’s see how a new set fits. Because I like the feel of the sheets I’m going to ask to have them exchanged with Amazon, but if the sheets come back and they’re still not fitting the California king, which is exactly the same size as supposedly the sheets are supposed to fit then I’ll just return the second pair. These people need to figure out how to have better customer service.

These sheets are 300 TC cotton percale weave and really deliver a hotel quality feel. They are cool and crisp, perfect for someone who sleeps hot like myself. The fitted sheet has a reinforced elastic band that keeps it snug and in place. I highly recommend these beautiful sheets.

I ordered this set of organic cotton, king size sheets for my regular king mattress. I really like the fitted sheet which goes on and stays on perfectly for my mattress. This is due in large part to the elastic in the corners which holds the sheet in place despite my fitful, turning and churning sleep at night. The top sheet was the right size as well and is sufficiently large to tuck in at the bottom and sides as needed. The pillow cases were a bit small for my king pillows but will work OK. I like the feel of the sheets as well, The organic cotton is soft against my skin and has a quality feel to it. It's not slick feeling like some polyester blends and it is not so rough that it is scratchy. It's has just the right feel of what I personally think a quality set of sheets should feel like. Overall, I like this organic cotton set of sheets for their fit, feel, and comfort. I would definitely buy again and have recommended them to family.

We've been on a quest to find acceptable cotton, percale weave sheet sets since Amazon discontinued the beloved Pinzon brand. To us, percale sheets are reminiscent of the crisp, robust and cooling sheets of our childhood. So, we've purchased numerous brands and all have disappointed us to some degree. Why is it so hard to obtain sheets that fit well, are properly sized, are consistent lot-to-lot and manufactured with care at a reasonable price? This isn't rocket science. In purchasing numerous brands we have seen huge differences in sizing. In particular the top/flat sheets are all over the place. Some are too narrow and many are simply too short in length. To compound the problem, shopping is challenging as manufacturers publish measurements that seem to be either made-up or established by fourth graders who failed math or ruler skills. In the case of these California Design Den King size sheets the manufacturer got some of it right and some of it wrong. Their published dimensions for the top sheet are 112” wide x 102” long. I only wish! My measurements: 107” wide x 97” long. Come on, where were the Quality Control people? Some folks may say it’s only a bedsheet so who cares? Well, I care because the missing 5” on the length makes these CDD brand sheets almost unusable and I have only a 9” thick mattress and like a little extra sheet at the head end. On the positive side the fit of the bottom (fitted) sheet is spot-on which is a rarity in the industry. The heavy-duty elastic band looks intimidating but with some effort you will be rewarded. The percale fabric is okay, somewhat crisp and I’d call it midrange weight which is perfectly fine at this price point. So, if these CDD King sheets were really 102” long as promised and the price stays somewhat stable, they would qualify as our long term “go-to brand” and have 4 stars. Not so sure right now.

California Design Den 100% Organic Cotton sheets are amazing! They feel soft, crisp, and cool all night. The deep pockets fit my thick mattress with ease. These durable sheets wash well and look great. They offer luxury quality at a fair price. I sleep so much better now!

J'aime ces draps, ils sont très confortable, pas rugueux mais pas non plus satiné, personnellement juste le classique draps de qualité que j'aime. Le draps contour est parfait pour mon douglas Alpine de 11 pouces sans excès de tissus. L'élastique tiens très bien. Un belle ensemble que je recommande si vous aimez la texture non satiné mais respirant et frais !

I may not be as fussy as some but I am very happy with these sheets. I had read many reviews that said the sheets are noisy and make crinkling sounds when you move but I don't find this at all. I also read some reviews that said these sheets were rough. I find them very comfortable and soft, not as soft as other sheets I have had but this is the first time I have bought 100% cotton. I have up to now had only used microfibre sheets but I find the microfibre doesn't breath and are too hot. They are nice a cool to the touch which is great for us hot sleepers. I ordered full size (double) and they fit my bed nice and snug, they stay in place. The stitching looks good and I like the thickness of them, not to thin and not to thick. I like that they have a tag showing which is the head/foot ends so no accidently put them on wrong and having to start over, lol. I also like the thick rubber band elastic on the fitted sheet I think this helps them stay in place. If you don't like wrinkly sheets and don't like to iron these sheets might not be for you. I machine washed and dry them and they did come out a little wrinkly but this does not bother me.

Beautiful colour, cotton is super soft and the elastic round the edges of the fitted sheet is strong and rubberized, meaning it grips tightly and holds position well. It was a bit of a struggle to get it on the mattress by myself because of the tension of the elastic, but I assume that will get easier as I get used to it and the tension eases up a bit. This is a quality item, though - comes beautifully packaged and with a really nice customer service note that makes your purchase feel more personal. Items also washed well with minimal creasing. I will definitely look out for this company’s products next time I am purchasing bedding; they are excellent quality and well worth the slightly higher price.

Really nice material and fits my XL bed very well. Recommended.

California Den Queen Sheet Set: Organic White. I always check new sheets for flaws in stitching and holes in fabric. I am really impressed with these sheets. Other high-quality sheet sets I have bought have had uneven stitching and looped threads, but the stitching on these sheets was even and straight, the stitches even and secure. The only flaw I found was at the top right corner where the sewer didn't backstitch enough to secure the thread before finishing the sheet. That was clearly going to come loose if I washed the sheet, so I got out the needle and thread and made a few stitches of my own. It took about three minutes and the sheet was perfect. Easy peasy, and not hard. I have a full/double mattress, but because I like the larger flat sheet, I get Queen-sized sheet sets. The fitted sheet is more than deep enough to fit my 12" mattress, with plenty of fabric left over for tucking. Because of the strong elastic that goes all the way around the fitted sheet, it holds onto the mattress firmly and keeps a slightly too-large sheet from being wrinkly. I will be certain to only wash the fitted sheet in cold water, and hang to dry, so that the elastic lasts forever– heat breaks down elastic over time. I like very crisp sheets because I'm a hot sleeper and I can't stand sleeping on overly soft sheets. When I took these sheets out of the package, I was tempted to put them onto my bed right away (after backstitching that top right corner, of course). But since I'm chemically sensitive and I could smell sizing, possibly starch, on the sheets (to make and keep them flat for presentation), I had to wait while they were first washed, then hung to dry. Then right onto the bed and– it's so nice to lie down in a bed with crisp sheets. I can't describe it. It's emotionally relaxing. The crispness makes them feel extra clean; that's the beauty of percale weave. At first I wasn't too keen on the two-coloured stitching at the top of the flat sheet (one row of grey, one row of light emerald), but I think I like it now, maybe even prefer it. When I imagine the sheet with just ordinary rows of white on white, it seems kind of boring. Now I'm waiting on a set of the same in pink (gotta love sales). There were two in stock when I placed my order, and now it seems the computer system wasn't keeping up with the sales and they sold out before my order was confirmed; they're just that popular. I'm a bit peeved that I've been waiting over two weeks for them to even ship– it may take even longer. But as long as I get them before we hit the 6-week mark, I'll be happy. And I'll be very happy to put them on my bed, because I luuurrvv these sheets.
