I waited until after we washed these to write the review.  Yep---still SUPER soft!  These sheets are a crazy great deal. The top sheets for the queen are HUGE; not sure why, but I'm very happy about it because we use king size blankets/comforters on our queen bed.  These sheets are perfect in every way.  Yes, they are THIN---they're supposed to be; they're 1500 thread count!
