These sheets are soft like the softest blanket. We have ordered about 4 different sheets through this company and are blown away by the excellent craftsmanship at such a reasonable price especially for made in America which can sometimes get pricey. All as soft as can be, wash well and are simply incredible. I had a flannel set from another company, not made in the US, and was terribly disappointed. Thin, didn't fit nearly as well on our king, and after washing, they were sad. Great Bay you have the best sheets going!
