Generally i buy the printed bed sheets but this time i tried to give a chance to these white sheet which is 100% cotton so I don't have anything to really compare these to, polyester-blend. The Martex 225 Thread Count Sheet Set in White are nice. The sheets are made well, soft, and fit the bed great. But these are a little scratchy. I am not a huge fan of synthetic sheets. I personally would not purchase these due to my love for high thread count sheets like in pure cotton. I was not aware of this brand or these sheets prior to testing.So, its my first time using it
