These 300 thread count , 100% Egyptian cotton feel like silky, satin sheets. I got them to use in my spare bedroom and I have the hardest time finding this size twin sheet. I have a thick memory foam topper on my mattress and these sheets fit perfect with room to spare. This set comes with a fitted sheet, a flat sheet, and one pillowcase. I got the black set and they are dark black. They kind of have a shiny sheen to them. They have not had any fading, even after multiple washes. There has been no pilling or loose threads since I have owned them for the past month. They get softer with every wash and are so comfortable to sleep on. I have taken many naps on these sheets. Another thing I really like about them is that they don't get too hot. I sleep very comfortable and I am dealing with hot summer weather right now. I am extremely pleased with how high quality these sheets feel. I have much more expensive sheets that aren't anywhere as nice as these!
