I was excited to receive my new sheets. I received them timely, washed them per the instruction and put them on my new bed. After a few days it felt like there was something on the sheets, so I was going to wash them again. I was removing them and noticed that the fabric has started to pill. That was what made it feel like there was something on the sheets. They are a nice color and may be good for a bed that is not used often, if at all, but I would NOT recommend them for a bed that you are going to sleep on nightly.
