Sheets have a soft feel and a good thickness. The fitted sheet has an elastic band so it fits snug around the mattress which is really nice as it stays in place. The sheets came stored neatly in a recyclable box instead of plastic which I and the planet much appreciate. The only reason I did not give these sheets a 5 star rating is because these sheets are supposed to be made of GOTS Certified Cotton as stated on the website and the box. However the GOTS certification label was not on the inside tag of the sheets nor did the tag say organic cotton. I will be reaching out to verify that they are indeed GOTS certified. If they are I will update this review if able.
