I am not one for soft sheets. If you are then thsse are not for you. However if you like thick cotton sheets that remind you of the days when your sheets came off the cloths line you will love these. I have s king and I have been looking for months. I thought the higher the thread count the better the sheet? WRONG!! it's about having Egyptian cotton with long threads These sheets are extremely well made. The stitching, the hems are tight and elegant. I am one happy camper. The pillow cases are big and thick and perfect. I can. It say enough. Now if you will excuse me.... the bed is made and calling my name!
