These sheets are very soft and kind to the skin. As a thin-skinned old man, I never expected bamboo to be so gentle and flexible. The top sheets are huge, even on our split king. The fitted bottoms conform well to the mattresses, without a lot of struggle to get them on. We have cats and they like to prowl around on the bed. Sometimes their claws poke through the sheets, but the sheets seem to have a way to "heal" from those pokes.
