I hate microfiber sheets, and was actually looking for cotton sheets when I came across these. I thought I would give these a shot based on the price and good reviews. As far as microfiber goes these are soft and have a nice feel, I like them better than other microfiber sets I purchased in the past, but the quality is not great after one wash two of the pillow cases have already come apart at the seams. They will do for now, and for the price they are practically disposable.
