I was not over expecting when I ordered these. I was afraid that the fitted sheet would be too large for my 11 inch mattress. Fit beautifully. There was that offensive odor Upon taking them out of the package and I was afraid I would have to return them. I was them in fragrance free detergent, dried them on hot and the smell was totally gone. They sheets fit snuggly all night and not as hot as my previous sheets, which I love. Great purchase.
