What owners single out
Buyers' stain retention complaint aligns with critics' lack of detail on durability and washing performance.
In their words
“These sheets are unbelievably soft and comfortable. They are designed to actually stay on your bed and make from a material that literally keeps you cool all through the night. I highly recommend them… they were definitely worth every penny!”

Downside is they retain every stain ever. I'm not even sure what they're from. We don't eat in bed. Not sure if it's happening in the wash machine? Even the pillowcases somehow have stains that don't come out?? To”
