UPDATE: Manufacturer contacted me and offered a replacement at no charge. Very happy with their customer service.

These sheets are soft and just what I wanted until I washed them and put them on my bed for the FIRST time!  I got the bed made and noticed this tear right in the middle of the flat sheet. I literally took them out of the package, washed them, took them straight out of the dryer and made the bed. I have company coming tomorrow so I have no choice but to use them.
