The Color Sense 200 TC Percale Cotton sheet is very crisp. The white is bright and not dingy looking. The feel of the percale is a little rough out of the pack but washed well and softened quite a bit without fabric softener. The sheet has a deep pocket so it easily fit over the plush mattress pad on my little one's bed. There is a good, snug fit and the elastic appears strong. A good, crisp sheet!
