 Pills Galore April 24, 2008
Great very heavy sheets! Washed before using and I'm amazed at the heavy pilling. They're everywhere! If they keep producing pills at the current rate, there won't be any sheets left in another week!
Flannel Sheets April 14, 2008
Sheets are soft and they fit the bed well. There was black lint everywhere. I thought my floor had dirt on it. Fills the dryer lint vent too.
 MORE LIKE A BLANKET April 13, 2008
These are the nicest flannel sheets I have ever purchased! Very high quality and very warm - good for upstate New York winters.
Excellent February 29, 2008
these sheets are very soft and comfortable. They are a little oversized and fit very well on my king sized pillowtop mattress with no problem. I would defintely recommend these sheets to anyone. I am very satisfied and would buy another pair if I needed them.
Great sheets but "Twilight" IS A DARK BLUE! February 28, 2008
6 out of 7 found this review helpful
$24.99 was the price I paid per set. "You save: $105.01 (81%)
(The "Insert a product link" did not work for this this sheet set but, well duh, I would think my review would be right here via reviews.
Quality:
I do want to make it clear that this is one GREAT SHEET SET as I rec'd. my Vanilla set prior to receiving the Cypress and Twilight.
These are Royal Heritage sheets. The label is included on the sheets.
Problem:
Colors!!!
The only problems are the colors shown vs. colors in reality.
Thus, my 4 star review. Actually, that review is due to Amazon's photos and not the sheet manufacturer.
Why?
Another site, which sells the exact same product for a greater price, shows the colors accurately. (I researched the terms, "Royal Heritage," and found other sites selling this product.)
And, yes, my video card works just fine and reflects the colors at Amazon and other sites very accurately. The other site selling these sheets does reflect the real colors.
I haven't figured out how to contact the webmaster re: inaccurate colors in photos for these great sheets.
The TWILIGHT color as shown is not accurate!
I have not unpackaged this set as I am probably going to send them back.
The Twilight is a DARK SOFT BLUE.
Those of you seeking this color, purchase this set!
The Cypress color is a deep, dull green, darker than the photo shows.
As a gift:
At the price, though, I might keep them as a gift for someone.
Geesh, wouldn't you like to receive a set of flannel sheets worth approx. $130??
Washing:
Vanilla set and Cypress:
The Cypress color does not bleed during washing. I just finished washing that set.
Vanilla didn't bleed which is logical.
I rinse new sheets at least 3x.
Drying and pilling:
Only a few, loose type "pills" showed up. I wonder if they were even pills because they were so loose and so few.
I do doubt that these sheets will increase in "pills."
Dryer lint with cotton, flannel, etc.:
All flannel, and even cotton sheets, and cotton towels, will leave some lint.
Flannel sheets will leave lint for many, many washings, which is typical! Not to worry!
Quality and description as to use:
They are thick, warm, but breatheable sheets.
They are soft on which to sleep.
I've bought flannel sheets that were actually scratchy and thin!
Royal Heritage and Pinzon sold at Amazon are the best!
I ordered a Pike set which had great reviews but they are out of the set in king size.
IMO: This is a THICK flannel of the best quality.
Price:
See above but buy them before they are gone!
You will have a great sheet set among the highest quality flannels on the market for a low price.
Just be careful of the colors.
BAM also reviewed these sheets.
I have a set of the Pinzon Velvet, also.
The Velvet is thinner and absolutely do not pill. They are like a thicker, soft sheet.
I love them as a sheet but they lack the thickness and that "comfort feel" that flannel can give.
They are a "fine" flannel.
BAM and I agree on the use of fabric softeners:
I, also, never use fabric softener.
It makes the sheets slippery and slimy in my opinion, and softeners will make any pet hairs and other things cling.
Many do not know that when you add a fabric softener dryer toss-in sheet or liquid it will make your hair "flatter" as it is conditioning your hair!
Adding such softeners to towels make them LESS absorbent when used.
It wraps around the threads of sheets, towels and other items.
Softeners grab pet hairs and other things and holds on to them.
Often textiles treated with softeners will redeposit such nasty things back on to you when you use a towel, sleep on a sheet, etc.
Softeners will also coat a part of your dryers thermostat if you have the type of thermostat that measures moisture. Over drying can occur.
Research the use of fabric softeners. Read the directions for use of softners in the manual for your dryer.
One site explains that the following is a myth but they do explain that there are other warnings about the use of softeners:
"Fabric-softener sheets can burn out the heating unit of your clothes dryer and...."
http://www.consumerreports.org/cro/appliances/laundry-and-cleaning/washing-machines/truths-and-myths-of-dryer-fires-306/overview/index.htm?resultPageIndex=1&resultIndex=1&searchTerm=dryer+fires
Those pet hairs and other "nasties" will rub ON you and never seem to leave a towel, sheet, or whatever.
Bathing and using such a towel does NOT leave me with the feeling of being both dry and clean!
One defeats the function of towels by adding fabric softeners and defeats the breathability of sheets and other textiles where it matters.
Suggestions for softeners for flannels, etc.:
If someone knows how to soften a textile for personal use that doesn't cause these problems, please share. We want to enjoy our flannel sheets
and to keep them soft and breathable.
