Is there any pilling?

Yes. I really feel like I've been ripped off for the money spent. I've only washed these sheets twice. The sheets are rough and abrasive. Save your money. I should have looked at the negative reviews first. This sheet set is deceiving because when you first put them on the bed they look and feel perfect. It isn't until you sleep on them that the pilling starts. I wish I would have had a good experience with this product. I usually never complain but I just don't know what happened on this one.

I haven't seen any pilling. I had a set of these sheets for our old bed and liked them so much I ordered two more sets when we got our new bed. I can't imagine what's different between my sheets and those that reported how awful they were, but I love them!

I purchased these King sheets from amazon in April of 2012. They are still in wonderful condition and soft; they are on the bed most of the time. If anyone has problems with pilling, they may be washing them with other items. I wash my sheet set alone - never with other items. I ran across your question because I am ready to buy another set for a spare.

Yes. Save your money and get a better quality set. I used them for 5 weeks. Too late for a return. I ended up going to Macy's and bought a nice 500 count set for $10 more than this crappy set.

These are terrible sheets. After more than a year, they are still too stiff to pill. They have already worn through on the ends of the pillow cases. Do yourself a favor and buy something else.

I love these sheets. They wash beautifully but will retain wrinkles if not promptly removed from the dryer. I have two full sets and extra pillow cases and none have formed any pilling in more than a year of use.

I have had them on the bed for ten days straight to test them out and I experienced no pilling. I then washed them and they wrinkled but in all fairness I didn't get them out of the dryer right away.

We've been using the same set continuously for over 2 years now and there has been no pilling. We wash them then put them right back on the bed. Best sheets we've ever owned. Buying a couple more sets.

I have had mine tor awhile now and don't notice any. Wills add I have not had to wash them yet so don't know if that will be a factor.

I'm not sure about anti-pilling (not sure what that means), but it was fine when I put it in the washer. I try to not dry my blankets as I feel like not doing so helps them stay soft, but I is put it in the dryer on the no heat setting and it was fine. I'm not sure my answer helps, but I hope it at least answered something.

Just like a sheet. No it does not pill. As often as you would was your sheets you use.

I don't really know what causes "pilling". I do agree that it is an annoying consequence of cheap and sometimes not so cheap sheets. It seems some of the micro fabrics seems to hold up better, but my choice is always 100% cotton high thread count. I have only washed these sheets twice, but they must be washed in cold water and when they come out of the dryer they look brand new. I bought on set to see how they hold up and have since bought another set. I guess it is a crap shoot these days, but these sheets are not all that expensive , they are holding up well and they are wonderfully soft. I hope this opinion helps you with your buying decision.

I'd be surprised if they ever pilled. They appear to me as if they will last pretty well.

No they do not pill, these sheets are awesome! I've had the California King - Italian roast color set for 4 years and they have never pilled. They are so soft & I love them! I will never buy another brand. They are heavy weight and hold up very well.

Sorry, but I have not had to replace the pill boxes. That sure would be good to know.

I have since thrown the packaging away, but the case is very soft, does not pill and is not inclined to easily wrinkle w/ laundering (though I usually pull things out of the dryer fairly quickly). It really is a decent product!

Not really sure. I gave them to my daughter for her birthday - end of July, so she has only laundered them once, but no fabric pills yet. The only other thing is the fitted sheet only has elastic on the corners, and not all around, so you have to make sure it is on tight enough, to not slip up.

So far, mine have held up. Have washed maybe 5 times or so. I haven't had them for very long.

Yes. Just washed mine again this afternoon. The think is nearly bullett proof.

I haven't noticed pills but then again I've only washed them twice. I don't know why pills form, probably quality of material. I may wash in cold water and will dry in the lowest heat.

We had the 30/30 in brown leather and went to the licorice black leather one and it has not gotten anything from lint to pilling the fabric one seems cheaper best bet get the better one for a little more.

I wash them every week along with the sheets and it's been several years, no pilling, no wear, no fraying of any kind. This blanket holds up extremely well.

Have had these for about 9 months with many warm water washes. No pilling so far. Good quality. Minimal shrinkage too.
