When I first received these sheets I was not impressed.  They felt too smooth, as in slick.  Not a nice feeling at all.  I washed them and put them away and really didn't want to use them.  I finally did, not liking the feel of them.  After two additional washings they are now soft and comfy and one of my favorite sets.  It's like they had a film on them which needed to be washed off.  Very strange experience with this sheet set but I am happy with the outcome and would recommend this set.  Not certain if every set needs several washings before becoming wonderfully soft and "un-slick" or if my set was simply a fluke?  I'm just glad I didn't push them to the back of the linen closet and miss out on a great set of sheets.  :)
