This is an initial review, but so far, I am loving these sheets! Small things first. The pillow cases come with a pocket for the pillow so it doesn't slide out. Wasn't expecting that, usually this is something you see on a pillow sham, but nice to find on a pillow case. The fitted sheet comes with an elastic band that helps form the corner for larger mattresses, but tuck the mattress under for smaller mattresses. Finally, the fitted sheet comes with an bottom/top tag on one end of the shee so, no guessing games as to which end is which. Nice touches.I followed the instructions and washed the sheets. Unfortunately, because I washed them with a cotton blanket they came out wrinkled, they were otherwise unharmed. I'm sure they would have been fine in similar linens or by themselves.The linens are fantastic. They feel more expensive then they are. These feel better then hotel linens, or at least the linens used in hotels I've stayed in. They are silky smooth. They almost have a microfiber feel to them, but are much cooler.I have purchased this brand for towels recently and based on my experience with them, I recommended the brand. Likewise, with these linens I believe they are a strong buy recommendation.
