Really soft. Really pretty. But... the color is supposed to be blue. And, it is NOT. When I held it up to the Wedgwood blue comforter that I wanted to match, these DID NOT. Then, I took them over to a green bedroom I have and they look much better there. The color is a very pretty, soft teal color--somewhere in between blue and green. Probably won't be trying to buy "pale blue" on Wayfair again!
