I was excited to get these because my girlfriend and I got a King bed almost a year ago and we have yet to get a complete set for our bedding. We just got king size pillows so these cases would be perfect. We liked the color, well my girl friend loves the color because it's neutral and goes with everything. However, the fabric is not soft at all. The pillow cases are for you to sleep on, but if we are to use them they will be our decorative pillows on our bed. The fabric is scratchy, even after washing them. Not very comfortable when you are trying to sleep.
