I read through so many reviews since we obviously are unable to feel the sheets in person. I have previously purchased two sets of sheets from another source and both were horrible and I donated them...but I didn't want to make that mistake again. When I read that the elastic goes all the way around the fitted sheet I knew that was a plus as it is more expensive for the manufacturer to do this instead of just using elastic on the corners. Also, the weight of the sheets is a plus for me. I was replacing very expensive sheets made by Peacock Alley that fell apart after only two years so I wanted sheets that will last. I received these a couple of weeks ago and have washed them a few times already and they wash up great. I think they are comfortable, good weight without being heavy, and soft enough. If you want super soft these aren't for you; they aren't stiff but they aren't flannel either. I like that they are all cotton as we prefer natural fibers so just know they will wrinkle. Also, we ordered Ivory which is definitely more yellow toned instead of a cream. Regardless I am happy with the purchase and would order this exact item again without hesitation.
