I love these pillowcases! They are *so soft*. They're not heavy (which is great because I live in the south, and it is hot here), but they're also not sheer. That means they don't show the pattern of the pillows they're covering (which is a major peeve of mine with other pillowcases I've tried).

Just as a note, I got these as extra pillowcases for a sheet set I bought. They're the same brand and same color (name), but the actual color is a little different between the two. I'm thinking it may just be that they're different dye lots, and it doesn't bother me enough to return them, but it might be an issue for you (depending on how picky you are). Overall, I'm very, very happy with this purchase, though.
