The Company Store Review

About The Company Store

The Company Store has one of those origins that feels very American Midwest. In 1911, Scandinavian immigrants in La Crosse, Wisconsin started making down comforters and featherbeds to survive the brutal winters. That became the LaCrosse Garment Manufacturing Company, which eventually became The Company Store. For decades, they were the catalog you’d flip through when you wanted really good down bedding.

In 2017, Home Depot acquired the brand, which sounds a little odd at first (sheets from a hardware store parent company?) but it actually gave The Company Store serious resources and distribution. You can still buy from their standalone website, and the quality focus hasn’t changed much. They’ve expanded well beyond down comforters into sheets, bath, and home decor.

Their Egyptian cotton offerings sit in the Legends Luxury and Legends Hotel lines. The Hewett collection is their flagship Egyptian cotton set, and it’s the one that gets the most attention from buyers looking for real Giza cotton at a price that won’t require a second mortgage.

The Egyptian Cotton Question

The Hewett Egyptian Cotton Sateen Sheet Set makes a specific claim: 100% combed Egyptian cotton from the Giza region, woven with a 600 thread count sateen construction, and made in Egypt. That level of detail is encouraging. They’re not just slapping “Egyptian cotton” on the label and calling it a day.

The sheets carry OEKO-TEX Standard 100 certification, which means they’ve been independently tested for harmful chemicals and meet safety thresholds. That’s a solid baseline certification.

What you won’t find is a Cotton Egypt Association Pyramid Mark. This is the certification that uses DNA testing to verify the cotton actually originated in Egypt. Without it, you’re trusting the brand’s sourcing claims rather than independent genetic verification. Given that The Company Store is owned by Home Depot (a publicly traded company with real accountability) and has been in business for over a century, the claims are credible. But brands like Pure Parima and Peacock Alley do carry that Pyramid Mark, which is a stronger guarantee if origin verification matters to you.

What You Actually Get

The Company Store organizes their sheet offerings into tiers, and it helps to understand the hierarchy:

The Hewett Egyptian Cotton Sateen Set is the premium pick. It’s 600 thread count, 100% combed Giza cotton, sateen weave, made in Egypt. The queen set runs $349, with king at around $429. You get a flat sheet, fitted sheet (fits mattresses up to 16 inches deep), and two pillowcases. The embroidered feather motif gives it a polished, hotel-like finish.

The Legends Hotel 600TC Egyptian Cotton Sateen is similar but with simpler styling and slightly lower pricing. Queen flat sheets run about $99 individually. Same 600TC Egyptian cotton, less decorative detail.

Below those, the Company Cotton lines use standard cotton (not Egyptian) in percale and sateen weaves. A queen sheet set starts around $99 to $164 depending on the grade. These are perfectly fine sheets, but they’re not why you’re reading this review.

The monogramming option is a nice touch if you’re into personalized bedding. They offer a wide color palette for embroidery, and it’s available on many products across the store.

What Buyers Say

The Company Store has a decent review footprint for a legacy brand. On Trustpilot, they hold a 4.1 out of 5 rating, which puts them in “Great” territory. Sitejabber shows 4.3 stars from over 700 reviews. That’s a healthy sample size.

The positive feedback on the Hewett sheets specifically focuses on softness, the silky sateen feel, and how the fabric gets better with washing. Multiple buyers compare it to high-end hotel bedding (which tracks, since the collection is literally called “Legends Hotel” in some iterations). The embroidery detail gets consistent praise for looking and feeling premium.

The complaints cluster around a few themes. Wrinkling is the big one, which is honestly just a sateen reality (you’ll get that with any sateen sheet at this price point). Some buyers report slight shrinkage after several washes, so following the cold-wash, tumble-dry-low care instructions matters. A handful of reviews mention the fabric feeling thinner than expected for 600TC, though this may be a misconception about what thread count actually indicates (higher numbers don’t always mean thicker fabric).

The 30-day return policy with a $4.50 per-item shipping fee is standard but not generous. For sheets at $349, it would be nice to see a longer trial period.

How The Company Store Compares

Feature	Company Store (Hewett)	Peacock Alley (Emily)	Pure Parima	Brooklinen Luxe
Cotton Type	600TC Egyptian Giza	500TC Egyptian	Egyptian (Giza region)	Long-staple (not Egyptian)
Pyramid Mark	No	Yes (Gold Seal)	Yes	N/A
OEKO-TEX	Yes	Yes	Yes	Yes

Queen Set Price	$349	$249	~$180	~$179
Return Window	30 days	30 days	30 days	30 days
Monogramming	Yes	Yes	No	No

The pricing is interesting here. The Company Store’s Hewett set is more expensive than both Peacock Alley and Pure Parima, but neither of those offer 600TC construction. The higher thread count does make a difference in the hand feel (the sateen is noticeably silkier), but Pure Parima and Peacock Alley have stronger authenticity credentials with their Pyramid Mark and Gold Seal certifications.

Who Should Buy The Company Store?

This brand is for you if:

• You want 600TC Egyptian cotton sateen at a mid-luxury price point
• Monogramming and personalization options appeal to you
• You like the security of buying from a Home Depot-backed brand with over a century of history
• You prefer sateen’s silky, smooth feel over percale’s crispness

Skip this if:

• You need Pyramid Mark certified Egyptian cotton (look at Pure Parima or Peacock Alley)
• Your budget is under $200 for a queen set (Pure Parima starts around $180)
• You prefer percale sheets (their Egyptian cotton options are sateen only)
• A 30-day return window feels too short for a $349 purchase
