Before ordering these sheets I looked at the reviews. Several people commented that the fabric was scratchy, but I thought the fact that they were advertised as ‘cooler’ would outweigh the supposed scratchiness. Not yet. It hasn’t been warm enough to benefit from being cooler, and they are in the wash for the second time and I’m hoping that softens them a bit. But, I won’t be able to continue using them if they don’t soften. OnN the plus side, I do love the sheet corners!
