When I received these sheets, I was initially disappointed. They looked thin. I put them on the bed and realized that they look very nice and lay flat. The soft perforated square like stich design looks rich and makes the sheets cool and breezy, comfortable to sleep on. I love that. When I washed them I realized they are very durable and hold up to many washings. So with these sheets you have the best of all worlds; Style, Comfort and Durablity
