So many amazing reviews, I just want to keep it real for you all. Are they the softest sheets ever? No, but they are not bad. Not too scratchy but not super buttery soft either. The real thing I am shocked about is that no reviewer mentions the smell!  It came out of course, thank goodness, after washing them, but wow X-0!  When opening the box it was like a smack of nasty in your face. It smelled exactly like an industrial glue mixed with a super gross old cheese smell.  I was calling the smell, "The Devils Mac N Cheese" lol.  It was truly overpowering, like you could smell it from 4 ft away.  I just want to help calm anyone with this same issue, it does absolutely, 100% wash out!  Hope this is helpful :)
