I bought these sheets for my mother who lives with me. I laundered them per instructions, they're the softest, silkiest sheets I've ever felt. I just ordered a different set for myself, they cost about twice as much, but I was aiming for a certain color. I'd buy these again. Only reason I gave 4 stars, one pillowcase is miss cut and the seams don't line up right. Not returning for that, a little disappointing, but the color (light gray) is stunning! I steamed the openings of the cases, they were really wrinkled after laundering. Wonderful otherwise!
