Some of the harshest Egyptian Linens reviews aren’t about the sheets at all. They come from buyers who ordered split king sheets for a bed that is only split at the head, and got a set that splits the whole way down. That mix-up says a lot about this shop. Its real strength is sizes most stores don’t stock, and getting the size right matters more here than anywhere.
I haven’t slept on these sheets. This review is based on the shop’s product details and policies, and more than 1,600 buyer reviews.

Egyptian Linens review: who they are and what they sell
Egyptian Linens is a family business run by brothers, based in Corona, California. It calls itself a home textiles maker and direct importer, and its address is an office, not a store. It sells sheets, pillowcases, duvet covers, comforters, mattress pads and curtains, mostly through its own website.
The name can mislead you: not everything is made in Egypt. Its percale sheets come in packaging marked “Made in Egypt”, it has a separate “Made in USA” collection, and some buyers say they were surprised to find sets made in China. If the country matters to you, check the product page before you buy.
The sizes other shops don’t stock
This is why most people end up on this site. Besides the usual twin to California king (about 44 of its 128 sheet sets come in California king), it makes sheets for:
- Split king and split California king, for adjustable beds made of two separate mattresses.
- Flex-top king (also called split-top king), for one king mattress that splits only at the head.
- Split queen, Olympic queen, RV short queen and RV king, plus Full XL.
- Texas king (for an 80 x 98 inch bed, a $180 set) and Wyoming king (84 x 84 inches, $160).
- Waterbed sheets, oversized flat sheets, and fitted sheets with 22-inch extra-deep pockets.
If you’re not sure what your bed is, our bed sizes guide has the standard US measurements.
Split king vs flex-top king: the mistake behind bad reviews
A split king is two separate mattresses side by side, each about the size of a twin XL (the shop’s diagram shows 39 by 80 inches each). Each side gets its own fitted sheet, so each half can move on its own. A flex-top king is one king mattress that splits only at the head, so the top half of each side can lift while the foot stays joined. The shop’s flex-top mattress pad describes a 32-inch split.
Buy the wrong one and it won’t fit. Several 1- and 3-star reviews on the split king set say exactly that. Before you order, check whether your mattress is one piece or two all the way down to the foot.
- Two separate mattresses: split king sheets. The 600 thread count cotton set is $165, rated 4.4 stars from 92 reviews.
- One mattress, split at the head: flex-top king sheets. The 600 thread count set is $170, rated 4.55 stars from 103 reviews.
The fabrics: percale, sateen, TENCEL and bamboo
The fabric choice matters as much as the size, especially if you sleep hot. Our guide to cotton, bamboo and Tencel sheets explains the differences in detail. Here’s what this shop offers (prices checked October 2026):
- Percale: the Egyptian Percale set is 100% long-staple cotton at 300 thread count, $55 to $75, rated 4.62 stars from 53 reviews. Buyers who sleep hot call it crisp and cool; a few find it rough or noisy.
- Cotton sateen: from 300 up to 1,000 thread count. Sateen feels smoother but sleeps warmer than percale.
- Eucalyptus TENCEL™ lyocell: the 600 thread count set is $110 to $150, rated 4.54 stars from 108 reviews. Most buyers call it soft and silky; one hot sleeper found it warm.
- Bamboo viscose: $75 to $100, rated 4.65 stars from 1,053 reviews. It’s labelled viscose, as the FTC requires.
- “Easy care” blends: 70% cotton and 30% polyester at 650 thread count, for people who hate wrinkles.
What buyers like
All the ratings here are from the shop’s own review system, so read them with that in mind. Still, the same points come up again and again:
- The fit on unusual beds. Owners of thick mattresses say the 22-inch pockets finally stay on. The extra-deep 600 set has 4.52 stars from 234 reviews.
- Crisp, cool percale for hot sleepers, and soft TENCEL and bamboo for people who want a silky feel.
- Helpful customer service, in several reviews, including when an order was wrong.
What buyers complain about
- Wrinkles. The most common complaint, even when buyers took the sheets out of the dryer right away.
- Size. Some fitted sheets run large and look baggy on a standard mattress. Deep pockets are for deep mattresses.
- Feel after washing. Some buyers found the cotton stiff or rough after the first wash.
- Stitching. A few reviews mention a hem or seam that came apart.
- Orders. A few delivery delays, and orders sent in the wrong size.
Sizing mistakes and faults are covered by the return and defect rules below, which is one more reason to wash a new set only once you’re sure it fits.
Shipping, returns and defects
- Shipping: free on orders of $50 or more, by UPS, FedEx or USPS Priority.
- Returns: within 60 days of shipping for a full refund, if the item is unwashed and in its original condition. The original shipping cost isn’t refunded. You start a return by emailing customer service with your order number.
- Defects: manufacturing defects found within 90 days of purchase are replaced free.
So put a new set on the bed before you wash it. If it doesn’t fit, it can still go back.
Who it suits, and who should skip it
It suits: anyone with an adjustable split bed, a flex-top bed, an RV, an Olympic queen, a Texas or Wyoming king, or a mattress 16 to 22 inches deep. It also suits hot sleepers who like crisp percale.
Skip it if: you hate wrinkles and don’t want a cotton-polyester blend, or you want everything made in the USA and don’t plan to buy from that collection. And if you need a mattress topper for a bed that’s too firm, look elsewhere: the shop’s toppers are fiber and pad types, not the foam or latex our guide to a mattress that’s too firm suggests.
How to order the right size
- Measure the mattress depth, including any topper, from the bottom seam to the top. The shop’s standard fitted sheets list pockets of 11 to 16 inches; deeper mattresses need the 22-inch extra-deep sheets, and thin ones (6 to 10 inches) its low-profile sheets.
- Check how your bed splits. Two mattresses all the way down means split king; a split only at the head means flex-top king.
- Measure width and length if your bed isn’t a standard size, and compare them with the sizes on the product page.
- Put the sheets on before washing. That keeps the 60-day return open if they don’t fit.

Frequently asked questions
Is Egyptian Linens a legit company?
Yes. It’s a family-run textiles business in Corona, California, with a published return policy and more than 1,600 buyer reviews across the products I checked. Like any shop, it gets complaints too, mostly about wrinkles, sizes and a few late or wrong orders.
Are Egyptian Linens sheets made in Egypt?
Not all of them. Egyptian Linens is the company name. Its percale is packed as “Made in Egypt”, it has a “Made in USA” collection, and some buyers report sets made in China. The product page is the place to check.
What is the difference between split king and flex-top king sheets?
Split king sheets are for two separate mattresses side by side, with a fitted sheet for each. Flex-top king sheets are for one mattress that splits only at the head. They aren’t interchangeable.
What is the Egyptian Linens return policy?
You can return items within 60 days of shipping for a full refund if they’re unwashed and in their original condition. The original shipping isn’t refunded, and defects found within 90 days are replaced.
Do Egyptian Linens sheets wrinkle?
The all-cotton ones often do, according to many buyer reviews. If you don’t want to iron, the “easy care” cotton-polyester blends wrinkle less.
My verdict
Egyptian Linens is worth a look if your bed isn’t a standard size, or your mattress is too deep for normal sheets. That’s where it beats most shops. Measure first, check how your bed splits, and keep the sheets unwashed until you know they fit. If your bed is a standard queen and you mainly want cool sheets, its percale is a sensible, fairly priced choice.
Need sheets for an odd-size bed?
Split king, flex-top king, Olympic queen, RV and 22-inch deep pockets, with free US shipping over $50.
