While the sheets sre very soft they are much more fragile than traditional cotton sheets. We ran our brand new bamboo sheets through the washer upon receiving. All we added to the washer was the same H&E certified tide detergent we use on all of our clothes and bedding. The dark blue sheets came out with some area of faint pink, meaning they were somehow bleached. We do not ever use bleach so it wasn't our fault, but it's disappointing nonetheless. If you are someone that moves a lot in your sleep you may wake up to being tangled up in the top sheet. The sheet is very stretchy, so a simple pull doesn't free you from its grasp like how a cotton sheet would. I wish i knew these things before purchasing but I can't say for sure that i would have made a different decision. They are still the softest sheets i have ever had and they allow our LuxeBreeze mattress to exhale that coldness well upon laying on the bed.
