Microfiber sheets, any input?

Evine has a Top Value today of microfiber sheets for under $20.

 

I don't see many reviews at all on their microfiber sheets in general, and what is there really isn't very good. 

 

Anybody have any input on these sheets, the brand, and the material.

 

I could use some inexpensive sheets for my kid's room, but don't want them to pill or ride off the bed every night. 

 

Thanks for any input.

Re: Microfiber sheets, any input?

Of course there are quality levels in everything, but I did buy some microfiber sheets to take with us on vacation where we were renting a house. I needed sheets for a king size bed, my sheets are queen.

 

I found them very silky? slick?  They don't feel like cotton but I didn't dislike them.  Of course we had air condition there, I wasn't uncomfortable.  Cotton absorbs perspiration.  I don't think a microfiber would as much.  

Try them.  They give you 30 days don't they?

@Mominohio

                        I know that when Q station had polar fleece, I was _just interested_ but had no reason to sleep on any sheets that was not 100% cotton.

 I love cool sheets for comfort and not having any worry about piling or being hot. I read reviews they do pill (??)!

 

The purchasing thought left almost as soon as I heard how much I needed the sheets, from the vendor. 

In the winter I use flannels for the bottom and a cotton summer with a comforter. Nothing wrinkles that much that a gentle tuck and pull will not take care of quickly.

 

Last year I bought some pricey Polar fleece 'throws'.

These are to me, not the same as the micro sheets. Those are okay for a sofa, chair or to toss over legs if reading if very cold.

 

They do command no fabric softener (it wrinkles), then smell the fabric for any odd chemical smell. Wash in either cold or mild tepid water then air -dry or tumble on gentle cycle but not hot. Never use a fabric softener sheet. 

 This is my personally opinion for self: I do not like the touch of micro unless it's a rag cloth. I have maybe four. 

Micro is very inexpensive to make, thus the low price.

 

I have all Northern Nights for all beds with matching or non matching cases. 

If you want something never to wrinkle (as they convince), then I suppose that the clincher.

I could use those if bought for only one reason -used few weeks for winter as a bedding for pet.

If I were allergic or had sensitive skin, that would be a no.

For my child/children I want the very same thing I would have for myself.

 

 I have never owned a sheet set for $20.00. Everyone has a different definition for comfort.

 

 Knowing, now, only from the two Q's fleece throws that have been washed one time, upon receiving. Great for a throw but have to compare a micro throw-somewhat- as the same to a sheet. Do they sleep hot?

 What was heard from polar fleece is not the same as just micro. Our Polar fleece throws were very soft, but not for bed bedding.

Must be ridding the winter overstock for summer?

If you do buy micro sheets, I hope they work for what your need is.

I bought some and did not like at all.  The pilling was a problem.  I am a very restless sleeper and down near my feet was nothing but hard little balls of pill that felt uncomfortable.  I think they would be fine in a guest room that gets only minimal use.

I love microfiber sheets and have found them to be great, nearly perfect sheets. Now, I've never bought the Evine ones and have bought mine at Walmart, but they're nearly perfect sheets. Lightweight, cool, smooth, easy to care for, inexpensive, and mine have never pilled.

Hate them, find them hot and too oversized.

I bought some expensive ones and hated them. They pilled and were hot. Felt like I was sleeping in a Baggie.

I've got a couple pair from HSN, might be the Concierge brand.  They certainly are inexpensive.  I wasn't sure if I'd like them.  They are different, feel like silk, and they have not pilled.  I think they are ok, something different.  Wash easily and dry fast.

They didn't breathe.  So I gave them to my DS.

Re: Microfiber sheets, any input?

I have purchased some from both Evine and HSN. We like them; however, they did all pill. I would still buy them again because they are soft and just get softer and because at that price you can toss the out and get new very affordably. I do run a depillar machine over them (the hand-held battery operated one that buzzes) when I strip the bed to wash the sheets. It only takes a few seconds and removes most of the pills quickly & easily. It works for me but I can certainly see why some would not like them. They are affordable enough to try a set for 30 days to see if they work for you.
