I expected these to be a little large on my all memory foam mattress, and they are, but the most disappointing thing in my first set of linen sheets is the softness. A lot of the reviews say the more they're washed, the softer they become so I decided to give them a shot, even though they weren't as soft as I imagined they'd be when they arrived. I have not found that to be the case at all. They've been scratchy and uncomfortable for the past two months, with weekly washings. For what I paid for these, I expect a whole lot more softness and wouldn't recommend them at all.
