Is this set worth $71.99?

At $71.99 at JCPenney as of November 5, 2026, it is a mid-range price for a king set with 18-inch pockets. With only one store listing it new, you have no cheaper option to compare, so judge it on the sateen feel and the 3.8 rating.

No. The label says cotton blend, so expect some synthetic fiber mixed in. That helps with wrinkle resistance and quick drying but makes it less breathable than pure cotton.

Will it fit a deep mattress?

Yes, the fitted sheet is rated for mattresses up to 18 inches deep with a True Grip deep-pocket design. It suits thick memory foam and pillow-top beds.

What comes in the set?

Four pieces: one flat sheet, one fitted sheet and two pillowcases sized 32 by 20 inches. It is machine washable.

Does a 1000 thread count mean better quality?

Not necessarily. On blends, high counts are often reached with multi-ply yarns, so the fabric can feel denser but less breathable. The 3.8 rating suggests real-world durability is average.

White-sale and clearance events at JCPenney are the usual times sheet sets drop. The current $71.99 is the only new price listed as of November 5, 2026.
