They are not what I imagined. The reviews say they're super soft but when I think of softness I think of soft-jersey cotton like you would have in a good quality undershirt. These are NOT SOFT. Softness is cuddly. When I removed the packaging, they felt silky smooth, but not soft. Will update review after they have been washed a few times, but so far, not super pleased as they are not what I expected from the reviews.
