These sheets are soft, somewhat silky even. After washing, they did maintain their softness, though they haven't been through many washes.With these being relatively new, I can't say how durable they will or won't be. Some sheets tend to pill. These haven't, but they haven't been slept on or washed much.I'm not a big fan of the color, but that's really subjective. It's pretty close to what it looked like on my monitor. Every monitor is a bit different though so you can't expect an exact color reSee full review
