What a difference with our previous sheets. These sheets fit so much better, they go a lot further under the mattress. We used to always have the problem that the sheets came off the mattress on the corners; we won't have that problem with these sheets! They feel good on the skin. I would have preferred a darker color, because we have to black dogs that sleep with us on the bed, so I feel like these sheets are going to be dirty very quick. I'll have to look if the sheets come in a darker color.
