As someone who has been enjoying Jersey cotton sheets for a very long time, I welcome these as an addition to my Jersey knit collection. I decided to get this set because my other ones have lost their great texture over time, and have been worn out. When they arrived, I washed them and they came out just as soft and wonderful as I had imagined. If you are unfamiliar with Jersey cotton, it is similar to sleeping in an old comfortable shirt. It stays cool in the summer and warm in the cold. You'll thank me later if you combine them with a bamboo mattress pad underneath. Best slumber experience ever!!
