Side by Side Comparison of: AmazonBasics

This is a great bed set. I bought three for my young boys bunk beds. The sheets are microfiber so make sure you wash them accordingly. We've really enjoyed these bed sets.

Great price and very comfortable! The blanket feels like a sleeping back which I can imagine might turn some people off but I found it very comfortable and cooling. I live in California and enjoy using it year round!

Fits an extra-long twin bed perfectly. Hoping that this will last all four years of college. The color is great and matches almost anythings.

I've been using this set (Twin XL version) for more than a year now and just thought I'd leave a review for those still on the verge of clicking that 'Buy Now' button. To you I say: "BUY NOW!" If you're on this page you're probably looking for a cheap but decent-quality set that'll get you comfortable on a new bed (including those in college dorm rooms as in my case), and this set is PERFECT for that. Please note that if you're looking for super high quality linen that'll make you feel like a princess, this might not satisfy you - it spells more VALUE FOR MONEY rather than luxury.

QUICK FACTS:

- FIT: The fitted sheet fits perfectly on my Twin XL college dorm bed. The provided comforter is slightly wider than my needs, but wider is always better than narrower *shrugs*. I use the pillowcases with standard queen sized pillows and they fit well.

- STYLE: The blue color is not too bright and not too faded in my opinion, looks pretty good on the bed. It's not super stylish though - just putting it out there.

- QUALITY: The polyester keeps me warm during cold nights, and doesn't feel extremely hot during warm ones. The fabric has held up extremely well during my one year of usage (I do wash it only once every two months though), and it seems like its can go on for an year more. One more thing to note here is that the fabric is 100% polyester, which is fine for me, but if you're someone who only prefers COTTON, its NOT for you.

- EASE OF USE: Finally, the quality that makes this AmazonBasics set most lucrative for college students is that its completely machine washable: just pop it into the washer/dryer on the delicates / permanent press settings and you're good! Beats expensive brands that require particular settings or dry-cleaning. Plus, the nifty bag that the set comes in proves particularly handy when you need to pack up and change dorms or move out of college housing.

SUMMARY: Great for College Students, Great for those who want a Cheap but Decent-Quality product, NOT for those looking for the Absolute Best in the market. HOPE THIS HELPS, EVERYBODY! :-)

Absolutely love it. Sheets and comforter are soft. Not super thick. Looks very nice. Packaging was excellent. Fitted sheet fits my queen size mattress perfectly. I needed new bedding badly and this totally reinvigorated my bedroom. First night's sleep in them was amazing. Hopefully the chics like it.

The blanket is lightweight, but surprisingly warm. Decent sheets and all for the price.

The price is great for this twin comforter. The comforter is pretty thin but it looks great. Loved the feel of the sheets. Overall I would buy again.

In our house all our beds have top of the line bedding/thread count which we all love. But, I needed bedding for our queen blow-up beds for sleepovers and the last thing I was going to do is spend hundreds of dollars for sleepover bedding. Oh my gosh...!!! The sheets are super soft and the comforter is really soft as well. I was worried that it would be stiff. It washes it great as well. This is great bedding at a great price!

Exceeded expectations! It's so reasonably priced, that I thought it was going to be cheap and scratchy. We bought it for our spare bedroom. The comforter is really soft, and even holds up in the washing machine. The only down side is that the sheets could be softer.

Super soft and inexpensive bed set! The sheets are a bit too silky for my liking, however the bed spread and the pillow shams are great! I love the colors, they really make my bedroom pop. Definitely worth buying!

They feel great. They were a last minute purchase for a last minute approval for the dorms. The blanket dose not breath as much as I would have liked it to but it certainly has kept me warm though the cold winter nights. Its perfect for those who are staying in the dorm or for the guest bed.

Really quite nice for cheap sheets. They are holding together after many washes and constant use.

I bought two of these for my son's new bed. They've been washed umpteen times and have not faded at all.
A couple of things to note: The fabric has a sheen and seems to snag easily. Also, if attracts fuzz when in the dryer...so it's never totally fuzz free.
I can live with these things...but just a heads up!

The bed set is nice and comfortable, but the material feels cheap. I cannot imagine the fabric and fillers lasting for a very long time. Its expected at this price point. I can imagine the bed set being a perfect item for a dorm or a temporary bedding.

I bought this bed set because it was complete, with 2 bed sheets, 1 comfortor, and 2 pillow cases. Usually in department stores, not a lot of complete TWIN XL bed sets are sold like this one. I found the price to be a great save compared to buying everything in this set separately. The color is simple and it fits my taste of a navy metallic blue and metallic gray. Definitely recommend this product to anyone looking for dorm bedding. I thought the comforter wouldn't be warm enough but it keeps me warm with the AC on at 66 degreees and the sheets are soft. I rated this product a 4 however because some of the seams on the blanket seem to falling apart after just one wash, so maybe it won't last as long.

Comforter is great! Sheets are pretty thin. But that makes them good for my hot natured toddler!

For the price I think it looks nice! The white sheets are pretty thin and see through but this is just for our guest bedroom so it's not used that often.

I have not actually slept on these sheets (they were for a guest bed) so I cannot speak to the comfort, but I am pleased with the purchase. Met my expectations and fit the bed just fine. Seem well made and though the comforter looks a little thin, my guest said it was plenty warm. I'm not sure if I mistakenly selected the wrong color, but I was not expecting so much yellow. Overall happy with the product.

The fitted sheet slips A LOT. It doesn't keep its grip on 2 of the bed corners and we have a standard queen bed. However extremely comfortable and I would buy more.

This is a great all in one set for the spare bed in your house. I bought this for my spare room and inflatable mattress. Sheets are thin but look good with the air mattress I needed to but on a padded mattress cover and a wool blanket due to it being winter. But if you had a standard mattress that might not be as necessary. The stitching on the comforter is not the best but for the minimal use that this receives I'm sure it will hold up for a good amount of time.

I was so sad when I finally opened these up. The white stripe is actually grey. So instead of this stark white and Navy you get what looks like a dirty grey stripe. I was not able to return them becasue I had them shipped to my winter home that I didnt arrive to till after the return date. I would have definitely returned them. I gave them three stars becasue they are soft and look to be well made for the price.

I got this set for my teenage son. He loves it. It was just a little miss leading. I purchased this set because it was dark navy blue. And the comforter is. However the sheets and pillow case are light silver/gray. I wanted the sheets dark. Because as I said Teenage son. Lol.

For the price, this is a decent set. You get the comforter which, if you wanted to, could be considered reversible. It has the grey stripes on one side and solid navy blue on the other. Plus two shams, two pillow cases, a flat sheet and a fitted sheet. I looked around at other retailers and couldn't find a set as complete as this one. So, it does the job. However, the sheets are very thin and one of the pillow cases had a busted seam. I can repair it so it wasn't worth bagging back up and trying to ship back. I purchased this set for my 4-year old and he's not yet impressed by high-quality linens. I would consider this a good "starter" bed set for a guest bed or dorm room. Something along those lines.

I like that there's a cheap option available, but I have to say that I've found cheaper and higher quality at bargain outlets (big lots, etc.). The sheets had holes instantly since they're essentially made out of tissue paper. I wouldn't spend the same amount on them. However, if the price dropped I'd consider another set.

Sheets don't fit mattress,quilt is ok!

Decently made. The sheets are a bit thin. The comforter is decent, but all in all not too bad for the price.

Unfortunately it has not even been in use for a month and at the seams this comforter has started to come undone. We have not even washed it as of yet. So it is sad to have this already occur. We like the feel and comfort of this bedding but wish it's quality was just a bit better. But as it is just past it's return date all we can do is to report be cautious and look your purchase over thoroughly for manufacturing flaws. I will be repairing this as best I can.

The colors are true to the pictures and pretty. The drawback is that the material is very flimsy.

The package arrived as promised.

Not great quality, but it did the job for my 10 year old great nephew for a last minute visit. The polyester sheets were an immediate turn off for me, but everything matched and my little guest was pleased.

The back side is WAY more yellow then the image shows. They should probably update to show the backside... Also it is pretty thin, but is going to work for the spare room just fine.

The pictures shown of this product are a bit misleading. The stitching looks like it was done by a drunk child. Won't purchase again.

The set itself is of good quality for the price, however mine came with several holes in the fitted sheet. They look to have been caused by something during the manufacturing process just as many others have described. This really ruined the whole set for me and I have since replaced everything except for the comforter.

The polyester material is not ideal for the comforter; it will be appropriate in summer, but could be insufficiently warm in winter months. Moreover, the sheets seem to be far larger than the size advertised (full/queen), and therefore fit far too loosely.

I ordered navy but was shipped a light blue. My son needed something for his dorm bed, so I didn't have time to exchange. The quality is just "meh".

Bought the king - comforter is not long enough to cover the sides.

I guess you get what you pay for... the comforter, the pattern is stitched badly and not even. The sheets and pillow cases are very thin and feel like they will tear.

This is a very cheap, poor quality bedding set. Everything is 100% polyester, even the sheets. It's possible to pull off nice feeling sheets that are made of polyester but these just feel super cheap.

Bought this for our guest room. the comforter literally is as thin as pictured the underside of the comforter is bright yellow which I was unaware of from the very small and basic picture only one pillow case has the pattern the other pillow case is White. Not impressed at all the itself and it could keep you warm.

The sheets are quite thin. And seem to be made of a weird clingy material. Dirties easily. Def not high quality sheets. For fifty bucks more you can get a real set of sheets somewhere else.

Very thin to where I can see the pillow markings through the pillowcase; not a good feel to skin; Walmart offerings would have been better with free shipping; would not purchase again or recommend;

The color looked shiney dark royal blue when the product arrived it was dull navy blue with grey stripes. Very disappointed.

I received my package, and upon opening it, I noticed that there was only 1 comforter. No sheets or pillowcase that is listed were with it.

The quality of this set is terrible. The sheets are paper thin and feel terrible on your skin. I bought this to use as a bed-in-a-bag set for an air mattress for guests. I will not use it for anything. Already washed it and not sure I can return otherwise I would do so immediately. Don't waste your money. Put a few more dollars towards a quality set.

Color just drained out in spots on first cold wash.

I've had this set for two weeks and I thought it was great until today. Using the recommended wash settings, the comforter completely tore apart along the seams in the washing machine. I would absolutely not purchase this set again; spend a little more and get a set that won't shred the first time you wash it.

Bought for my married daughter for her guest room. So thin, had a stain on the comforter. Totally a waste of money. Got what I paid for. I should have known better but you can find nice bargains other place. This is NOT one.

Looked nice initially but the fabric quality isn't that great and the seams come apart.

I did not get a pillowcase in one set.

If I could leave zero stars I would. It's just awful. I think Motel 6 would even say no thanks. I get it, I was the one that thought it was a great deal. Sheets, comforter, pillow shams all for $40. You definitely get what you pay for which is a totally awful sleeping experience. Sheets were tissue thin. The comforter and pillow shams were slippery. That the only word I can think of. You jump on your bed and you will slide right off the bed. Don't waste your money. You get what you pay for; a Crappy product.
