Generally, I don't buy light-colored sheets, but the watercolor-like floral pattern and promise of 100% cotton was too tempting to pass up when I saw these, and I am SO GLAD I got them. Firstly, they are genuine cotton (I tested with a lighter on an hidden corner and the fibers scorched instead of melting). They're light and breathable, perfect for summer or if you're under the weather (they came in right after I got my COVID booster so I'm recovering on them right now and they're wonderful). I'm not sure of the thread count, and they're not the softest out of the package, but cotton does tend to take some wash and wear to truly break in anyway, so I take the slight texture as a sign of quality in this case. If you're reading these reviews because you're on the fence, consider this your sign to treat yourself and get these.
