I wish there had been more negative reviews to warn me off of these sheets.  They are the scratchiest sheets I've ever had the misfortune to put on my bed.  I washed them before trying them, so no way to return them.   (They felt softer before the wash too.)  Followed washing instructions to the letter, but already seeing that these sheets will be pilling soon.  Gave them 2 stars since they do fit the expanded queen bed, but I won't be using them.  In fact, we couldn't even get through one night on them -- pulled them off after an hour.  Even my husband who never notices anything, said the sheets were scratchy within 5 minutes of getting into bed.  Really disappointed.  Thought I had found my new source of bedsheets.
