These are soft sheets and I like the color (and colors and patterns available). I just was surprised by the elastic and shape of the fitted sheet. It seems too big for the mattress and therefore not a tight-fresh-sheet feel. I also thought I'd see a tag to tell me top/bottom, but didn't see anything like this. It took me 3 tries to get it right since there was no tag and seem to be loosey-goosey either way I put it. I also expected a wider elastic band, but hopefully they will last a long time, continue to be soft, and shrink some in the wash (haven't had them long enough yet).
