For cotton/ Egyptian blend, 400 thread count, I feel like these should be nicer to the touch.  They still seem very stiff and crusty; I thought they’d be softer especially after washing.  They were not Herculis brand when they arrived, they were Adrienne Lewis New York, although all the specs were as advertised.  They are nice and cool to sleep on, the pockets on the fitted sheet are deep and don’t cinch up, and they look very nice on the bed.
