These sheets are very soft and feel like satin. The only thing I don't like is at the open end of the pillow cases. There is a folded over piece that makes them like an envelope. I suppose this is done so your pillow doesn't fall out. I really don't think this is necessary. The cases are very generous and I have outgrown pillow fights! The color is beautiful and seems to match the color in the picture. All in all, great sheets.
