I washed these pillow cases as soon as they arrived, eager to use them. They washed and dried well; I took them out of the dryer immediately to reduce wrinkling. (They do wrinkle) They fit my pillows nicely, although they are roomier in the length than width, so I was glad I ordered king size for my queen size pillows. They were very cool to sleep on and very soft. Overall, I'm very pleased with this purchase.
