Good set but poor sheets

I wish I could give this 3 1/2 stars, but since I can't I rounded down. First off, this a really nice set. The colors are gorgeous, and the comforter is the perfect thickness. I have a full sized bed and ordered the full/queen size, and unlike others I did not have an issue with anything being way too large for my bed, although I have a very thick matress and matress topper. However, I'm knocking two stars off for the quality of the sheets. I wasn't excepting amazing quality, but the sheets that came with this set were not up to par for the price of the set. The set I got came with white sheets. They were very thin, and you could see the pattern of my matress topper and through them. I've bought Amazon Basics sheets before (and loved them! I still have several sets) and expected them to be the same, but they are not. They are a different material than the separately sold Amazon Basics sheets. At first these sheets were nice, soft, and somewhat silky. They held up perfectly after the first few washings (according to the wash instructions!), but after only 2 months of use they started pilling (I feel like it's really important to note that out of the 8 weeks they were on my bed, I probably only slept in them for a total of 6 weeks!) Also, if you have any imperfections on your feet (patches of dead skin) the sheets will catch on your skin, which is annoying. The bottom line is, the set is nice, but do yourself a favor and buy some different sheets. It might be fine is this set is for a guest bedroom, but not if the bed is being slept in at least semi regularly.
