These are really nice.  After washing, I put them in the spare room, so I haven't slept on them, but even after washing, they are very nice.  I bought another set at the same time, at half the price, which I put on our bed, and I don't see why these are twice the price, but still not that expensive.  Funny story:  my husband actually put these on the spare bed and was confused because he thought the pattern was supposed to go vertically and not horizontal.
