Top critical review
3.0 out of 5 starsGreat sheets very soft, but will shrink.
Reviewed in the United States on August 27, 2021
The main reason I got these sheets is because I got a new duvet cover and needed some to match, and seeing how I currently have bamboo sheets from Hotel Sheets Direct (also on Amazon), I knew bamboo is what I wanted. My HSD sheets cost $80 and while that is fine for good sheets, my budget didn't allow for them this time. So I went on the hunt and found these Bampure for $50. Just about the best you can get at this pricepoint. I got them cause they are the material I wanted, the right color (would have liked them just a little more teal but they still definitely work), a good deal at $50 and came with 4 pillow cases vs 2 that's harder to find than you think. These sheets are very soft and are absolutely great for the price. They feel cool to the touch as well, not quite as much as my HSD sheets but respectable. The color is accurate and they are 100% bamboo. However they did shrink quite a bit in the wash, which oddly enough was a good thing for the fitted sheet because I felt it was too big for my queen mattress, seeing how my mattress is only about 12" thick. What I don't like is after washing they lost some of the sheen and silky, slinky-ness to them. I kept 2 pillow cases out of the wash to compare. I washed in cold water and dried normally (my drier does not have temp settings). The pillowcase shrunk a good 3" off the length shown in the photo, (which BTW they are appearing a bit warmer toned in the photo as I got the green ones). But again that's not really a bad thing at least for me because the pillows I have were actually too small for the cases so 🤷. However, they do lose a star for shrinkage because in general that is not good. Overall I really like them and will keep them because they are soft and not scratchy and are cool and would recommend if you don't care about shrinkage. I just wish they kept the sheen. I will update should anything change.
***EDIT: 2 days after I submitted my review the sheets went from $49.98 to $99, putting them in a much more competitive range for 100% bamboo sheets, they are no longer the best option for the price. It's really unfortunate too because I am enjoying them more than I initially thought I would and would have liked to buy some in different colors and as gifts. They feel great against bare skin/legs and sleep really cool. But at $100 there are better bamboo sheet options out there, some of which are sitting in my cart right now. So while I love them and will keep them, especially considering what I paid, I don't know if I can really recommend them at this price, reluctantly removing a star.
***Edit 2: About a week after submitting review I was contacted by the company via mail with a card that said they were sorry I was disappointed and to contact them via email about my concerns. the responded with this:
" Hey Amanda,
Thank you so much for reaching out to me about your bamboo sheets. I am so sorry you had this problem with them shrinking! Our aim is to deliver premium products, backed by exceptional customer service. It is upsetting each time we miss that target!
I would like to offer you a refund in the form of an eGiftCard. So, I have a couple of options here for you Amanda, refunding you with either a Walmart or Target E-Giftcard Whichever of these you opt for, I will get your voucher code and send this to you via email.
If you let me know what would make you most happy, then I will make that happen for you, ok!
I look forward to hearing from you,"
I said I appreciated the customer service and said a Walmart one would be fine, they did indeed send me one and it did work. Afterward, they said they have taken my feedback into serious consideration and asked me to update my review. Well now i did to reflect what they sent me however they wanted to bribe me for a 5-star review with a gift card. Well, i took the gift card but my review will not change because that does not change that fundamentally there is an issue with the sheets that should be noted and my star rating is still accurate.
