First night in these sheets felt like sliding into a cloud—no exaggeration. The 'imitation cotton' label had me skeptical, but the texture is eerily close to high-thread-count cotton without the wrinkly drama.

As a restless sleeper, I usually wake up to a tangled mess of sheets. Not with these. The 16" deep pockets hugged my mattress (even with my 2" topper) like it was tailor-made. No midnight sheet wrestling matches.

After three months of weekly washes? Zero pills, zero fade on my dark grey set. They come out of the dryer looking hotel-fresh every time—though I did learn the hard way to keep velcro items far away during laundry (RIP one pillowcase).

Pro tip: The color runs true for neutrals (grey/white), but one reviewer's teal surprise confirms bright colors might be a gamble. Worth it for the price-to-softness ratio though—I'm already eyeing the ivory set for summer.
