I was really excited when I got these because they felt soft to the touch. So, I washed them and put them on the full sized bed. They are an off white color. The felt soft to the touch still. When you laid on them though, they felt SO rough. A bit like sand paper. Which, I thought was so bizarre. I slept on them and washed them again. They seem to get better with each wash. What I DO like about them is that they have HUGE elastic around the sides that seem to grip the mattress and don’t ride up. They hold up during washes well! I would probably buy them in different colors and sizes for other beds.
