These were a good deal, so I went for it, even though I typically like 100% cotton sheets (but they can be so spendy!). So these, for me, are just okay. I don't really like the feel of the fabric all that much, but not a deal-breaker (full disclosure, I'm kinda picky with all synthetics). When making the bed, the flat sheet "sticks" to the fitted sheet. They are soft, but not smooth and light, like cotton.
