This is my first set of bamboo sheets and the silky, cool feel of them is wonderful and so comfortable. I got them in white and it's a bright, pure white. As stated in the description measurements, the fitted sheet pockets measure 16 inches exactly, which is a nice fit over my 12-inch-high mattress. Rayon snags rather easily, and this fabric is bamboo rayon, but I still love this sheet set. Highly recommend!
