The black color of these is nice and they fit my sham pillows well, but they are very scratchy and not comfortable at all!  I even washed them in fabric softener a couple of times to try and get them to soften up and it did not work.  I am not sure if I will even keep them on my bed because they are so uncomfortable, but maybe if they just stay behind my main pillows they will not be that bad.  I am going to give them a week or so, but as of now, I would not recommend it.
