Premium Supima Cotton Sheet Set - Soft & Durable Twin XL Bed Sheets in White/Slate | Perfect for Hotels, Dorms & Guest Rooms

I've been looking for a long time for the perfect smooth, crisp percale sheets, and I decided to give these a try. Upon their arrival, I was disappointed as they seemed too soft and thin. That was before I took them out of the lovely pouch they come in. I took them out of their packaging and found they were wonderfully smooth to the touch. I hated to ruin that beautiful smoothness, but because they had an odor I washed them (in cold water and dried them on a cool setting). As I expected of percale, they were pretty wrinkled. Mostly they were small wrinkles, except for the colored hems, which were very wrinkled. After ironing them (I have always ironed percale, as cotton percale always wrinkles), they came out very smooth. As soon as I shook the top sheet over the bed to put it on, I knew I would like these sheets. It made the right noise, just as good percale should snap when you shake it out hard. They are as described: smooth, crisp, lightweight. I would love it if the bottom sheet was made heavier, more the weight of my old ones, like the percale one could find before sateen finish and microfiber came around. These are very well made lightweight percale sheets, though. I feel cool and very comfy lying in between them. The bottom sheet is a bit too small for my 10" mattress, though. The colored edge doesn't go quite over the sides, but does tuck in far enough under my 10" mattress. Perhaps in time the sheet will stretch.The elastic is extremely good quality, also.
