I have never cared much about sheets. I just bought what was cheap and matched my bedding, but OH MY GOODNESS, these sheets could turn me into a sheet snob. These are the softest sheets I've ever had! I didn't even know this kind of softness existed in bedding. In the many decades I've been an adult, I have never given a second thought to the sheets on my bed, but now, I notice them anew every night as I pull back the covers. I'm getting ready to buy a second set. Well, technically third, since I'd already bought a set for my daughter's bed too. If the sizing matters to you, we have a queen with a 12 inch thick mattress and these sheets fit well. They have not come loose at all. The sheets include the top/bottom tags as well, making it easier to make the bed quickly. We bought the English lavender and the teal and both are true to the colors I see on my computer monitor. Beautiful and vibrant!
