never buy anything made of polyester, clothes or otherwise! it doesn’t breathe, so you will sweat and make these sheets stink in minutes. don’t buy these.
@JT954 They are not. I bought these by mistake once (on mobile, couldn’t see fine print) so I’m speaking from experience and not generalizing. glad to help
@boygenius1991 that’s true of cheap polyester and polyester of yesteryear (and probably true for these sheets). Nowadays a lot of the more high tech activewear that has moisture wicking, etc, is made with polyester. Today’s good quality polyester is better than that of yesteryear. The crap stuff is still crap
@OnionSoup I’m sure that’s true. I have a polyester adidas jacket of pretty good quality that I enjoy, alongside underarmor fitness apparel that wicks moisture as you say.
with that being said, I’ve tried these sheets, and they had the whole room reeking of ball sweat before I’d even turned the lights off, so I’d recommend people steer clear.
@boygenius1991 not sure about the high tech polyester but it is recommended one wears cotton when flying just in case of a crash/fire. Cotton will burn = bad but polyester will melt = very bad!
Sleeping on a set now. They pilled up after one sleep. The corners are all ripped as they don’t fit right. They are slippery, but all the bumps from the pills help keep me in place. The pillow cases won’t stay on my pillow. And the dog peed on them 3 times. I need to go to Amazon now and order a cotton set.
Just yesterday my wife and I were talking about how we need new sheets for the guest beds. I told her the next time meh sold sheets I’d buy some. We don’t want guests to stay too long so I don’t really care if they aren’t the most comfortable in the world.
Bought these last time because I was sucked in by the price. You get what you pay for! These are the sheetiest shits I’ve ever owned. They’re uncomfortable, they pill up super fast, and they don’t stay on the mattress. Never again.
There was a place where I used to live that prided themselves on being the “#1 supplier of white sheets in the county”. I refused to go in, but I’m willing to bet they didn’t carry microfiber.
@ponagathos No, these are $9 to $13 sheet sets. It’s right there on the front page! We can’t just go making up our own prices all willy-nilly like y’know.
Okay! I purchased them even though I don’t use sheets. Why? I sleep on the couch, or under a rock. Why buy them then? I bought them for my 93 years young Mother. See! Even I have a Heart!!.. Okay, I owe her $25, so I’m saving $2!!
@woodhouse Glad someone else calls them slices. “Would you like a slice of cake or a slice of pie?”
Should “slice” only be used when the portion is triangle-shaped? Or is it to be used when the cake is multi-layered and requires a long knife to slice through?

@boygenius1991 I was just about to ask if these are cooling sheets. Thanks for posting.
@JT954 They are not. I bought these by mistake once (on mobile, couldn’t see fine print) so I’m speaking from experience and not generalizing. glad to help
@boygenius1991 you sir are the MVP…Who also is part of VMP…But MVP nonetheless.

@boygenius1991 @OnionSoup Just what I want - Play-Dry sheets…hmmmmmm. Might be good for porn stars though

@fjp999 very true. same when you’re working in a lab or kitchen
Bought last time. Terrible on a bed… Not quite good enough to protect the plants during a freeze.
Reminds me of my younger days.
@norman8 that write up is pretty funny.
@norman8 Oh, boy! It comes in a short-sleeved version, too. (“Walking turn on?” Whatever rocks your world…)
@norman8 Legion, anyone?
@norman8 I googled the phone number… Also sold by Leisure Time Products, the perfect watch to match your outfit.

100% polyester = 100% pass.

This order code scares me.

@SSteve that code is so wrong.
/giphy Mr. Poopy butthole
I waited up for this when I could have been sleeping in my soft, 100% cotton sheets. Meh
There’s a reason people don’t wear microfiber underwear. Can you imagine?
Bought these last time, tried em once, no es bueno!
Cotton Touch Microfiber Sheet Sets, Materials: 100% Polyester Microfiber? WTF?

@wmbarr not sure if this is a white supremacy joke or just a town really proud of their white sheets?
I HATE microfiber!
Done.
@Tadlem43 I like my microfiber sectional…
Bought them and they won’t stay on the bed, they stretch in odd ways and won’t hold on at the corners. The unfit fitted sheet!
I just got shivers from thinking of having to sleep in microfiber sheets. Catching on every little bit of dry skin on my body.
@theragu40 In no time you’ll be smooth as a baby’s bottom!
Well sheet.
My feet will sound like I’ve got Walmart bags in bed with me…
Meh sheets—( been trying to post for four minutes and finally go to post) —-Laggy tonight meh
NOT COTTON
/giphy too sweaty
Can I use these to clean my eyeglasses?
@wholeflaffer I don’t know, you’d need some really big glasses for that.
This is why the guy in war dogs decided to sell guns instead!
@zacks Ah… Yes, I remember that!
These feel like crap.
I’m buying a house and need random shit. Thanks, meh, for helping me get awesome deals!!

What’s the next generation after ‘micro’? ‘Micro’ feels so 2000ish.
@wew Nano… pico… Though picofiber sounds like a see-through kinda situation.
@shahnm @wew If you find any pico, are they made out of subatomic fibers at that point?
@shahnm @wew If they are pico, then break out the margaritas, guacamole and tortilla chips. All set!
These are $5 sheet sets.

@decoratedwarvet Not sure this is how paying someone back works, especially your elderly mother but good for you I guess!
@jaypeeh-I’m hoping you didn’t get my reply That damned Tequila is hell when trying to make a comment!! I went off, so My Bad!!Sorry JP!!
No CAL KING???
@bugger They’re doing you a favor.
Good Toga wraps? Or will they show my shiny heinie
when I start to sweat through?..
Hey it’s Meh.
Making Mornings Great Again.
@CosmicTwister MMGA
@CosmicTwister Which is what I say when I take my first bite of a slice of cake
@woodhouse Glad someone else calls them slices. “Would you like a slice of cake or a slice of pie?”

/image slice of cake
/image wedge of cake
/image piece of cake
@medz I think I’d just use slice as long as it’s not the entire cake, although I don’t besmirch those who do engage in the eating of an entire cake
This sucks so badly that you have to scroll down the main list to find this discussion link.
Also, polyester and flames? Bad, very bad…
/giphy burning man
@TheMonkeyKing there’s always a link on the front page to the relevant discussions for the day.
Thank Odin I checked the comments first.
@fearthecowboy Likewise.
Elastic broke on one of the fitted sheets. Washed twice, used once.
