The first thing about this sheet set is the box they come in. It has a stylish look and feel to it and lets you know you are getting quality products. Straight from the box I washed them since they do have that factory smell to them like all do . I am very happy with the way they feel with 1000 thread count softness made from Egyptian cotton, they are very comfortable. They are thicker than most sheet sets I have had and to me that makes them even more comfortable, and they will last longer. The fitted sheet has a deeper pocket set so it will fit almost any thickness of mattress. They are very cooling to the touch but with a thick comforter they hold in body heat very well. I would highly recommend if you are looking for a quality product.
