Question: Do they get softer with washing? New (before washing) they seem very rough and I'm thinking of sending them back.
Document: Hate these sheets. They are super rough and itchy! Avoid this product unless you enjoy sleeping on sandpaper. After two years I'm finally giving up hope that they will soften up.
Seem a little stiff at first, but after some washing...presto. Some of the best sheets I've purchased. Love how sturdy they feel. Just the right balance of crisp but soft. You can definitely feel the quality in these.
I had such a tough time finding real organic sheets, and these are so well made, and it's true, they come in a great cloth bag that can be used for anything. They are slightly rough after first washing, but I expect them to soften after more washing just as other organic sheets have. The color was just how it was pictured too. It's like a warm cocoa.
I would call these sheets thick, not stiff. They are soft after washing (I prefer to wash new items before using, even organic cottons). They are high quality, I appreciate that they are GOTS standard (not merely labeled "organic cotton"), and I would buy again - except I am looking for some color other than Khaki, sigh.
These are the thickest cotton sheets I've ever seen. They feel more like a lightweight canvas than a regular sheet fabric, but they're not at all rough or scratchy. After the first wash, they shrunk a lit bit, but they still fit the bed just fine. Overall, I'm very pleased and look forward to using them for many years to come.
These sheets are good, but not great. I always buy organic cotton bedding.We also bought these: http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B004XQWPIW/ref=oh_o02_s00_i00_detailsand went back and bought two more sets. The item linked above is much softer and smoother than the 500 threadcount ones. Not to mention they are half the price.
They are smooth and soft, and the heaviest sheets we have ever owned. They feel very luxurious and decadent, and seem a steal considering the price.I have had a lot of chemical sensitivities ever since birth. I have eczema that will break out if I sleep in sheets that are heavy in chemical byproducts (either from the detergent they are washed in or if they are new sheets that are conventionally made. This goes for clothes too.
I put them on my bed and waited for night to fall.At bedtime, I laid down on my new sheets and pressed my face against each of the included pillowcases. Soft. The sheets felt nice in the six or seven various positions that I adopt as sleep approaches. They are really nice sheets whether you sleep on your stomach, your side, your back or in a balled fetal position. 5 stars out of 5, really nice sheets.
I love them. I'm not sure I would call them &#34;soft&#34; but something about them makes them so comfortable. I guess it would be more of a &#34;crisp.&#34;  I hate to get out of them in the morning.It also feels great knowing they are organic and aren't made with all kinds of chemicals.
Beautiful, heavy weight cotton. Easily the best organic sheets I've bought. I'm sad I had to return them because of the black piping.I also would suggest a size adjustment. I ended up having to get Pottery Barn sheets because I wanted white on white.
Answer: While much better after washing, they do  have a "crisp" feel when you handle them after washing, rather than a "soft" feel, but honestly, when you put them on the bed, and sleep on them, they feel like old fashioned crisply ironed sheets, and it is a very pleasant feeling, smooth, and fresh.  I wasn't sure about them myself at first, but now I love that feeling of sliding between those sheets that feel as though someone has ironed them smooth and crisp.  And the ones I bought wear well, washing after washing, enough so that I ordered a second set. I love them.
