These sheets have a smooth, supple texture yet they are sturdy and wrinkle-free. After washing in cold water and low dry, it was easy to make the bed. My mattress is about a foot deep, but these sheets would accommodate more (as per the description). The elastic around the fitted sheet is thick and looks like it will hold up well. They have not been stained so I cant comment on stain resistance. They are excellent quality and well worth the price, in my opinion.
