In the coldest weather, the sheets keeps me warm. The pattern is so beautiful in person. the down side is that after several washes, the color fades, taking away the rich color as seen on the picture. In my opinion the color fading can be expected due to the type of fabric and need to maintain good hygiene. I have no regret in selecting this design, because it fits well with my bedroom decor and most of all, the sheets keeps me very warm in cold weather.
