These sheets worried me because people said they would pill or lose their softness after washing...this did not happen to me. What happened was that it retained its softness, but it is extremely narrow in width. I ordered a Queen for a Queen-sized bed, but it fits on my bed as if it were a full with the sheet. The fitted sheet is gradually coming undone on the sides. So aggravating. There is a warranty, so it appears that I will be requesting a size up in bed sheets.
