I was disappointed when I received these sheets and the sheets had the sateen finish on them. This was not mentioned anywhere in the description. I wanted 100% cotton, no sateen finish. I prewashed them twice before using them yet they were very scratchy. So I washed them, double rinsed them and dried them an additional eight times hoping the finish would go away.. Still they had an odd scratchy feel to them, and were so heavy and warm. Sateen sheets are available anywhere for much less money than these. Fortunately, Great Offer Stock allowed me to return them. Great Offer Stock has great customer service!
