We needed a new set of sheets for our twin mattress and these were great. The material is soft and cool and once you wash them the material feels even better and remains soft and comfortable. The elastic band is different than all the other sheets I own. I like that it’s a wide band which fits and holds better to the mattress. The material feels thick but is not overly heavy. I also like that it’s 100% cotton which means there is no silky or staticky feel like there tends to be with material blends containing polyester or jersey.
