I purchased these sheets because the 1000 count sheets I bought over 10 years ago finally had a hole in them. I use only one set...I wash them, dry them and put them right back on the bed. I was going to get another 1000 count set but decided to try these 1500 after reading the reviews. I must say, these are fabulous. They were a bit more $ than the 1000 count but I'm figuring these will be the last sheets for my bed I'll ever buy. They were rather stiff after the first wash but still comfy. After the second wash they are quite a bit softer yet they aren't as wrinkled as my 1000 ct set. So far they are a win, win, win. Less wrinkles, getting softer by the day, and so thick they should last forever. I did read in previous reviews that some people didn't like that they were so heavy...I love it. I live in Florida and love that the top sheet alone is perfect covering and I rarely need a blanket. I love the accents on the pillowcases and top sheet, too. If I have to buy sheets in 15 or 20 years, I hope these are still available.
