Let me start by saying, these sheets are a game-changer for anyone who struggles with night sweats or just loves that crisp, hotel-like feel. The first night I used them, it was like slipping into a cloud of coolness – the 100% cotton percale weave really does keep you fresh even on sticky summer nights.

The deep pockets (16"!) hugged my thick mattress perfectly without any annoying bunching or slipping. No more waking up to a tangled mess of sheets! I’ve washed them multiple times now (cold water + line drying for extra crispness), and they’ve maintained their shape beautifully with zero shrinkage.

Now for the real talk: They do arrive slightly stiff (classic percale character), but after 2-3 washes, they develop this perfect balance between crisp and soft. One reviewer mentioned roughness after washing – I didn’t experience this, but maybe try skipping the fabric softener (it can coat cotton fibers).

The fairy meadows pattern is even prettier in person – like waking up in a cottage garden. My only wish? More solid color options! Pro tip: Iron while slightly damp if you’re obsessive about wrinkles like me.

For the price? Absolute steal compared to boutique brands. I’ve already bought a second set in another color – that’s how much I believe in these sheets’ magic.
