I have very mixed feelings about this pillowcase. When opening the package I noticed a strong smell that was not pleasant. It was coming from the pillowcases and it was sort of like a chemical-ish smell, almost pungent. I figured it would come out in the wash which it did. No issue. I washed them on cold and hung them on the line to dry. The wrinkles were no joke! I mean wrinkles for days. If I were putting them on a guest bed they would DEFINTELY have to be ironed. Then there is how they feel. They are a little rough, but do get slightly softer in the wash. Sleeping on them is similar to the feel of linen. Not exactly smooth and silky but not exactly rough. I felt that on my pillow in my very air conditioned room they were a little bit cool to the touch and that was really nice. I think I will keep them to use on my travel pillow in the camper since they are so wrinkled.
