This was my first experience with Egyptian-Quality Cotton.  I liked the thick feel of the fabric.  I did wash immediately and followed the instructions; COLD water and GENTLE cycle.  I ran the sheets on LOW heat, GENTLE cycle and removed immediately when the drier stopped.  I was disappointed finding that the sheets and pillow cases where wrinkled and needed to be ironed completely. Sleeping on the sheets was better than my old sheets but did fall short of my expectations.  In the future I will have to move up to a higher thread count and a different brand.  

Pros: Still a good value over the price on the package.  It still is a good set of sheets to sleep on from what I was used to sleeping on.
Cons: Wrinkling to much after washing.  The texture is a bit rougher than I expected. Comfort sleeping on smooth sheets was the main reason for the move to Egyptian-Quality Cotton.
