Okay, so I was *super* skeptical about dropping cash on these sheets—I mean, 'luxury Egyptian cotton' sounds like marketing fluff, right? But holy cow, these are legit. The second I touched them, I knew they were different. That sateen weave is no joke—silky but substantial, like sliding into a 5-star hotel bed.

Fit-wise? Perfect for my deep-pocket mattress (which is usually a nightmare to dress). The elastic actually stays put—no more midnight sheet wrestling! Washed them twice (yes, they had that new-fabric smell), and zero shrinkage or fading. They came out even softer, which I didn’t think was possible.

Now, the cons: The flat sheet *did* shrink a smidge after washing (annoying but not deal-breaking). And if you’re used to tissue-thin sheets, these might feel heavy at first—but trust me, you’ll adjust by night two. Also, lint balls after a few washes? Minor issue for the comfort payoff.

Verdict: Worth every penny. My partner keeps stealing the covers now because they’re *that* cozy. Already eyeing another set in gray.
