These sheets are pretty comfortable, although they are not as soft as I’d expect for 525 thread count. I like the gray color - it matches my other bedding and room decor very well. It’s not too light or too dark. There are tags indicating which part of the fitted sheet goes on the side or top/bottom which is a handy feature to have when you get king sized sheets. The material is very pleasant and high quality. They have held up in the wash pretty well, but I did see a few loose threads after the first washing. Overall, I would recommend this elegant, comfortable sheet set.
