My description of product:
For the last several years I've been using thin sheets. These Macy's sheets (I got queen size) are much thicker than the ones I've been using, yet still thin. They have a weight to them, and when I try to stretch the material they don't budge much. I'm not an expert but I think this means they are good quality. They have a hotel sheet feel and vibe. The edges seems are doubled up with material giving that hotel like seam. And the stitching seems strong. They do have a funny smell to them. My working assumption is it's a manufacture smell, or possibly they are old-stock, and will go away after a wash or two.
I think the basic lie these companies do is claim double the thread because they twist together 2 shorter treads to make 1 thread long enough for sheet lengths, then make a, say 400 thread sheet out of that and call it 800 thread. I gather that's better than a real 800 thread because they are so thin and weak, but not as good as a 'true' 400 thread sheet made from stronger single threads. I could be wrong on any point here. This is what I currently believe based a composite of things I've read.
I usually ignore the flat sheet that comes with a set. Simply use a fitted sheet and blanket. I like the flat sheets that come with this Macy's set. I'm using one as a summer blanket right now. High thread sheets make you hotter, but the flat sheet is much thinner than a normal cover. If I didnt have air conditioning I'd probably use a more breathable sheet, yet still use the Macys flat sheet as a summer blanket.
These sheets seem to be a steal. The only tragedy would be if they disintegrated from washings. I have no evidence of that, just a worry, because I like them and bought 5 sets for a long term solution to good bed sheets. They have a 90 day return policy. So I will wash one set of these sheets a lot over the next 60 days or so and see if there are any unforeseeable quality problems.
Oh, also, some of the reviews said the queen size of Macy's set comes with pillow cases that barely fit a standard pillow. The one I received comes with full sized queen 30" pillow cases.
Sarcasm and excited about a deal. Was confused why I was being called a shill, like I was on this site to give fake reviews, and making up the thickness of these sheets. Which I found funny. I just really liked those sheets enough to buy another set. The damn sheets were so thick the first couple of weeks they were noisy when moving around at night. Much better after softening up after a few washes. I am pretty sure the reviewer who called these thin did not get these sheets. No way.
Definition of shill is a swindler which I am not

I just got mine and ran them through the wash. They actually feel like plastic, something you'd use to cover a Yugo or Smartcar. I guess everyone will have a different opinion, but I think I'm most likely going to keep these for guest use as I don't think I'd be comfortable sleeping in them, as they feel too plasticy.

are these good? I received mine two weeks back and contemplating to return it as it seems too heavy. I am a hot sleeper.
