California Design Den Sheets Queen Size Bed Set - Soft 100% Organic Sheets with Deep Pockets, Crisp Percale, Breathable and Durable Bedding Set - Creamy Ivory

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 wash very well, fit a pretty deep mattress, and are very comfortable to sleep on! The material is maybe a bit thinner than I expected, but they are very well made with a good color and seem to be decently cooling at night in a very warm East Texas summer. Would definitely recommend these for the price, and look forward to seeing how they hold up over time!

I’m thrilled with my California Design Den Queen Size Bed Sheets in Lavender Mist. It was surprisingly hard to find organic sheets in the exact color I wanted, but this set was the only one that checked both boxes — organic and lavender. Total win!These are 100% percale cotton with a crisp feel and 300 thread count. I’ve read that lower thread count percale sheets tend to be more durable over time, and I’m banking on that. They did feel a bit scratchy right out of the package, but after a couple of washes, they softened up nicely without losing that cool, breathable crispness that makes percale so great.The deep pockets fit my mattress perfectly with no slipping, and the overall quality feels solid. Knowing they’re organic is a bonus for peace of mind, especially for something I use every night.If you’re looking for durable, breathable sheets that are organic and come in a soothing lavender shade, this set is a rare find. Highly recommend!

California king size is a good, snug fit. Love the all around elastic with anti slip. Washed prior to using and found them to be quite crisp, not soft and not rough, somewhere in between. Hoping more washes will lead to further softening. They sleep cool without being too thin of a weave.

I love everything about these sheets, and embarrassingly, I'm so difficult to please when it comes to sheets.Here are the points:I've never experienced elastic on the edges like these fitted sheets have. It is strong, kind of rubberized, and it has a tag on the corners which tell you head/foot of the bed so you don't have to figure it out.I have a fairly old mattress, topped by a 3-inch memory foam topper. The fitted sheet fits tightly, the flat sheet isn't too small/short, and the finished fit is perfect.Came out of the dryer with very (VERY) minimal wrinkling, which was completely sorted out once I got them on the bed.The pillow cases fit my floofy pillows extremely well - not too tight, not too loose - and I like the extra little flap to cover the pillow at the open part of the case.These sheets are so cotton-soft - meaning, they are crisp and soft without having that fake kind of "microfiber" softness. This is perfect for me.I kind of wish they were thicker feeling - kind of like the old Wamsutta 200 thread count sheets I loved from the olden days. I'm hoping they hold up! The last couple of sheet sets I got fairly recently got ripped very easily. The one set that I really loved (Pinzon 300 thread count) didn't rip, but I bought the queen size rather than the full, and Pinzon isn't around any more (from what I could see.) Again: I'm really hoping these hold up for longer than a couple of years!I HIGHLY recommend these sheets!
