I was so pleased with this purchase I immediately ordered two more sets. It washed well, not much lint in dryer, no pilling, no ironing needed. It's super soft, weighty and fits my 14 inch mattress snugly. The sheep pattern is unobtrusive and whimsical without appearing childish. I don't know how it will wear over the long haul, but I have no reason to think I will be disappointed.  This is a very nice quality flannel. Absolutely no problems or complaints. All at an amazingly low price!
