Alive Pixels 800TC Cotton Sheet Set vs Superior 800 Thread Count Cotton Blend Sheet Set

Buy the Alive Pixels if you want all-cotton bedding and a fitted sheet that grips a thick mattress. Buy the Superior if wrinkle resistance and stain resistance matter more than breathability. The Alive Pixels is 100% cotton with a 21-inch pocket, so it fits deep mattresses and sleeps cooler. The Superior is a 55/45 cotton-poly blend with a sateen weave; it resists wrinkles and stains but traps heat and feels less crisp. Superior's 3.1 out of 5 from 100 ratings is a warning sign on long-term quality.

• Choose the Alive Pixels if you sleep hot, want pure cotton, or have a mattress deeper than 18 inches.
• Choose the Superior if you want low-ironing, stain-resistant sheets and do not mind a cotton-poly blend.
