Are these the smooth and crisp sheets like Grandma's? I don't mind wrinkles or stiffness, but NO PILLING! Just want some smooth cool crisp sheets.

i like 'crisp'....... these sheets are not..... in fact crisp is how i define percale...

300 thread count percale sheets are my husband's favorite. My set has been washed and alot and they have kept their color and crispness with NO PILLING.

Short answer - not too crisp and didn't keep them long enough to find out about pilling.

I guess this will depend on how old your Grandma is! No pilling whatsoever; but they are not especially "smooth". They soften up after several washes. I'm very satisfied with the feel...I just wish they were a bit thicker.

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

These sheets dp not list a thread count but they are quite soft and don't need ironing which is what I was loooking for. I previously purchased 300-500 thread count and found myself ironing sheets all the time no matte what. Two hospitals I was inpatient recently use mcrofiber sheets and I was qui8te impresseed with them since I had been a Nurse for over 20 yrs.

These sheets are not wrinkle free. Follow the washing instructions as stated on the care label and as far as the wrinkles goes, it all depends on how fast you take them out of the dryer. Thank you Paulina Customer Service

This is an old question with somewhat dated responses so I thought I would comment since I purchased the king in white 2 years ago and no want the gold. The sheets are crisp - almost hotel quality and feel and do not pill, thin out or bunch. I follow the simple care instructions and have had great luck with this brand. I have these exact same sheets in white and beige (ivory).

I believe the description may give thread sheet count- if I recall correctly it seemed on the low side.. yet! the quality of the sheets and texture is luxurious but not thin. The feel is slightly silky not rough or starchy.

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 personally find these ones to be smooth. They have held up well and haven't pilled. I think they would work for you. I hope the helps!

No, they do wrinkle, but not as badly as regular cotton sheets. I like the softness of them.

These sheets were shipped to family as gift so I don't know about the elastic. P S. Called my sister - she says yes, elastic is all the way around and she loves the sheets - they have stayed soft and no pilling.

No they do not wrinkle, although they are kinda rough. I'm used to high thread count sheets and these are definitely not!

Hi, Eugene. If you like lightweight, thin cotton sheets, these are the ones for you. They sure don't feel like my usual Egyptian cotton sheets, which have more soft texture and weight. Nonetheless, they are rather nice - but not my favorites. Hope this helps.

Definitely machine wash - and they come out with very few wrinkles, if removed promptly. For the money, these are great sheets. (I just wish they had pale grey!)

They aren't really silky feel but extremely soft. My husband has a hard time getting up in the morning since we got them. LOL!Some I've ordered are really silky from walmart. http://www.walmart.com/ip/Microfiber-Sheet-Set/13837750 Really slippery. But didn't sleep as well as these Elegance Linen.I love them!!!!

I don't know; nor have I ever heard of "ply" in reference to anything but toilet paper! But these are not flimsy sheets. They have a nice sturdy percale weave. They are not sateen, which usually is made with very fine threads, so while the thread count appears low, that is normal for the heavier weight thread used in traditional percale weave. If you are looking for soft, drape-y sheets, these are not the ones to buy! However I heartily disagree with the reviewers here who thought they are scratchy. These sheets are the epitome of an old-fashioned crisp white sheet, which was exactly what I was looking for! I don't know; nor have I ever heard of "ply" in reference to anything but toilet paper!

Yes they are. They are great sheets so far. Held up after washing, and have a nice soft feel.
