Hi. Thank you for taking the time to share your honest feedback with us. We’re truly sorry to hear about your experience with the Legends Luxury Hewett Luxe Smooth Egyptian Cotton Sateen Bed Sheet Set after a year of use. Our goal is always to provide high-quality bedding that brings lasting comfort, and we regret that this was not the case for you. We understand how frustrating it must be to experience shrinkage, difficulty with fit, and the need for frequent ironing, despite following proper care instructions. For best results, machine wash cold on a gentle cycle with like colors, use non-chlorine bleach only when needed, tumble dry on low, and warm iron as necessary. While some shrinkage can naturally occur with cotton sheets, typically just a few inches in the first few washes, the amount you’ve experienced is certainly not typical, and we’re truly sorry for the frustration this has caused. Shrinkage can be influenced by factors such as the nature of the cotton fibers, the weave of the fabric, and repeated exposure to dryer heat over time. Our sheets are carefully designed to minimize this, so we regret to hear that yours have not performed as expected. Our products are crafted with the highest quality standards, and we back them with our 30-day Rest Easy Guarantee. Our records indicate that your purchase was made in April of 2024, which falls outside of our return guidelines. Please accept our apologies for any inconvenience this may have caused. Although a return cannot be accepted in this case, we are dedicated to ensuring your experience with our products is positive. Our customer care team is ready to assist you in finding a suitable replacement or addressing any concerns you may have. Please feel free to reach out to us directly at 1-800-323-8000.
