First night on these sheets felt like slipping into a cloud. The sateen weave gives them this subtle sheen and silky-soft touch that made me excited for bedtime (yes, really).

What surprised me most was how cool they stayed – no more midnight flipping the pillow to find the cold side. My partner who usually runs hot didn't wake up sweaty once all week.

The deep pockets actually FIT my chunky 14" mattress without playing that annoying "will it pop off?" game at 3AM. The elastic grips like it means business.

After three washes? They've gotten even softer. No pilling yet, and the ivory color hasn't faded despite my habit of using bleach alternatives. Pro tip: Pull them straight from the dryer to minimize wrinkles – I learned that after my first lazy crumple-and-stuff session.

Are they $300 hotel sheets? No. But for the price, I'd buy them again just for how they make my basic bedroom feel luxe. Already eyeing the sage green set for summer.
