Let me start by saying these sheets feel like sliding into a cloud. The first night I used them, I was genuinely shocked by how soft they were—like someone ironed a silk scarf onto my mattress. The sateen finish gives them this subtle sheen that makes my bed look expensive (even when it's not made).

But here's the thing: the fitted sheet situation is weird. The elastic is this tiny little band that barely grips my mattress. I've got a standard king, nothing fancy, but I find myself tucking the corners back in every morning. For $170, I expected better engineering.

The pillowcases are another story—they're dreamy. The fabric gets softer with each wash (true to their claims), and they've held up beautifully through multiple cycles. Though fair warning: if you have thick pillows, they might feel a bit snug.

After three months of use, I'm noticing some pilling in high-friction areas. They're still comfortable, but not quite the 'forever sheets' I hoped for at this price point. Would I buy them again? Maybe during a sale—they're lovely, but the quality inconsistencies make me hesitate at full price.
