I expected much softer sheets based on the reviews. I washed them and used fabric softener and they still felt a bit like sleeping with linen sheets.  I did not like them at all at first and was going to send them back.   They seem to have softened up a bit after a week. These are not sateen, so don't mistake them for sateen sheets. 

Pros: Good product the the price
Cons: Stiff and not terribly soft
