I wanted a nice pillowcase case that wasnt too thick or too thin. These pillowcases are nice. They are comfortable and soft. Although I had to wash them multiply times to get the desired softness that I like. They do feel cool to the touch on warmer nights. I love the neutral ivory color that I chose. The only think I do not like about these pillowcases is that they come out of the dryer a wrinkled up mess no matter which setting I put my dryer on. They are 100% cotton. The wrinkles seem to smooth out somewhat after several days of sleeping on them.
