When I first opened these sheets I thought they felt great and was impressed with the seams, but after washing them the fabric felt rough. I was scared that I had made a mistake when purchasing them--but have faith--after a few more washes they were perfect. Its been over a year now, and they are my favorite sheets hands down. Word of caution---the fit is evry snug, so if you have an older mattress, you may have some issues getting them to fit. The plus side of the snug fit is that they NEVER come off. Would buy again in a heartbeat.
