I have not put these on bed yet. Washed them when received and they came out feeling very soft. I gave them a three because of two facts. The color has almost a gold undertone to the grey so they aren't quite the shade I wanted. The main reason for the three is due to the fact that all four of the pillow cases received only had one side of the pillow case opening hemmed. When I was taken them out of the dryer to fold them I noticed it on the first pillow case and then each and every one was that way.This set comes with four pillow cases that I love because I like having four. When I purchase in stores I always purchase two extra. So that part is a bonus but all four not being hemmed looks like they came off of a assembly line that wasn't working properly. If not for the sewing, even with the color I would of rated these higher.
