I got this sheet set about 3 weeks ago and am using them on my new bed.  These are some of the softest and most comfortable sheets that I have slept in, in some time.  I would consider the fitted sheet to be a deep-pocket sheet because it fit perfectly around the mattress and mattress pad, with plenty of room to spare. They also wash up very nicely with no beading or snags in the fabric.  These sheets would make the perfect gift for anyone looking to include high quality bedding in their home.
