I have a couple different styles of sheets from this brand that I prefer to these. The weave is sateen like and is not as smooth and crisp as percale weave. In fact they seem to get rougher, not softer, with every wash. They are also very warm, so if you are looking for sheets that let you sleep cool, I would not recommend these. And as a heads up, I’d say the color is more on the ivory side of white than on the bright optic side of white - which may be a preference for some, and a deterrent for others. On the positive side, they fit nice and snug on the corners and seem to work well on thicker mattresses.
