I have slept on these sheets for two nights now and I love them so much. I purchased another set and set them to my father and my second mother. It is a big purchase for me to buy a set for another family member. I believe these are worth it and I know my father he is to cheap and would never purchase them for himself. So in order for me to get them to use them I had to buy them for them. I thought I had a California king, maybe mine is just a king size. These sheets are 100% flax, they fit my bed a little big probably because I ordered the wrong size, but they stay on the bed very well. I love how big the top sheet is it hangs down to the bottom of the box spring on both sides. So there is plenty of top sheet for two individuals. So I would definitely order the same size for my bed again. The pillow cases I have the king size pillows. The pillow cases for this sheet set are definitely oversized they could take a couple inches off of them, so far the pillows are staying in the pillow cases. I washed them as soon as I opened the sheets. They washed well with no issues, the stitching was all intact after the wash. I did not notice any shrinkage. The price on all other Flax sheet sets is what stopped me from buying them in the past. This sheet set was pricey however I could afford to purchase a set now. I fully intend to buy myself another set in the future. They are amazing, and Yes, you should throw away those polyester sheets and put these 100% flax sheets on your bed now today you might be mad at yourself for not buying them yesterday. Buy now. I pray they keep their prices low. So I can afford another pair in the future.
