The bamboo sheet set I washed before putting on the bed. It is very light and soft. After the dryer they were completely smooth. I had just received the memory mattress cover and I made the bed up with the mattress cover and Bamboo Sheets. I usually perspire during the night that my chest is wet. I did not last night and I think I slept better. I usually use cotton sheets in the summer but after using the bamboo sheets I will use them all summer. Loved them.
