I have been searching for white sheets for a few months. I got these sheets for my guest room and I am obsessed. I was a little skeptical about the thread count being only 500, as other brands I have tried felt itchy. These sheets though, are very soft and feel like butter. They are also thick but not to the point where they feel hot at nights. I like the fact that they also have extra elastic around the edges to hold the sheets in place. So far, even with my kids rolling or playing in the bed the edges stay put. Overall I am very pleased with the texture and feel of these sheets. I would definitely recommend them.
