I am picky about sheets. I do not like microfiber sheets. If there is too much synthetic in the sheet that's not great either. And if the shape of the fitted sheet seem sloppy (which some of them are), that doesn't thrill me either. These sheets hit all the right notes--good quality fabric, fitted sheet is sewn well, and while it is a cotton blend, it feels like good cotton. I purchased the dark blue with white accents. It was true to color.
