Which set is better for a standard queen bed?

The Eddie Bauer set. It is cut for a standard queen, while the Egyptian Linens set is Olympic queen, 6 inches wider, and will hang loose on a standard queen.

Which feels cooler at night?

The Eddie Bauer percale. Percale is a plain, matte weave that breathes well. The Egyptian Linens sateen is smoother and traps a bit more warmth.

Is the higher thread count worth it?

Not on its own. The Egyptian Linens sheet lists 600 on the spec sheet and 300 on the product page, so the number is unreliable. Long-staple cotton matters more than the count.

Both are 100% cotton and machine washable. Long-staple cotton in the Egyptian Linens set resists pilling better, but percale like the Eddie Bauer set tends to hold up well with repeated washing.

Do both fit deep mattresses?

Yes, both list a 15 in maximum depth. The Egyptian Linens product page says up to 16 in, so check your mattress before ordering.

Which has better reviews?

The Eddie Bauer set, with 5 out of 5 from 2,100 ratings against 4.5 out of 5 from 118 for the Egyptian Linens set.
