These are not expensive but they are so soft. They don’t fit my mattress perfectly. I have a VERY thick mattress. I need to use sheet straps, which is fine. After I washed them and put them on my bed, I realized how much better they are than other brands in the same price bracket. They feel thick and soft. They feel like they will hold up well. I change my bedding three times a week and I’m glad I have gotten these to add to my sheet collection. I have so many sheet sets and now I know this brand is good and I will be buying them in other colors.
