I ordered these in the gray color, and arrived very quickly. I always wash new sheets 1st w salt  detergent to break down the starch  chemicals added for retail packaging. But even out of the package these sheets were Sooo Soft! After laundering them  putting them on our bed, we slept wonderfully that night in Super Soft comfort! Don’t be fooled by the lower thread count because they feel very luxurious  do not pill at all! We love them so much, I end up washingdrying them  putting them right back on our bed!!! You won’t be disappointed with this set! I’m going to order another in the Aqua color as well.
