Let me start by saying I've tried A LOT of sheets in my quest for the perfect night's sleep. When I unboxed the SONORO KATE set, the packaging alone felt luxurious – like receiving a high-end gift. The sea glass color is even prettier in person!

The first night was a revelation. These sheets have that crisp-yet-buttery softness you only find in 5-star hotels. Unlike some Egyptian cotton sheets that take washes to soften, these were dreamy right out of the package. My partner (who never notices bedding) actually commented on how nice they felt!

Now the not-so-good: They do sleep warm. Perfect for winter, but I wouldn't recommend them for hot sleepers in summer. The 1000 thread count creates a denser weave that traps more heat than advertised. Also, be warned – the fitted sheet's deep pockets are amazing for thick mattresses, but the elastic is STRONG. It took some muscle to get them on my 14" mattress initially.

After 3 months of weekly washing: They've held up beautifully with zero pilling. The color hasn't faded one bit, though they do wrinkle more than I'd like. Pro tip: Remove from dryer immediately and give them a good shake. I've had zero issues with tearing that some reviewers mentioned, but I always wash in cold water on gentle cycle.

Final verdict? At this price point, they're absolutely worth it if you want hotel luxury at home. Just don't expect them to be cooling for summer use. I'll definitely be buying another set in white!
