These sheets are good value for price. Washed once after purchase, some wrinkles as normal with percale. No snap (as in the older versions of true percale - Gluckstein percale for example) because I believe the thread used in California Design Den is lighter, perhaps due to its origin in India. Very soft, light, and would be welcome in summer, and I'm happy to use them in winter too. It's harder and harder to find a real percale, and these definitely are a decent quality of percale.Don't confuse the lightness with lack of tightness - this is a good tight weave and looks long-lasting to me -- no pilling possible. My only slight reservation with these California Design Den sheets would be if the lightness of the thread ends up reducing the length of their life, which will only be tested by time. I have purchased other sheets that were similar in softness and they lasted about 4-5 years or so, but were so comfortable. I'm hoping the same is true for these sheets!I especially like the fact that these are true percale, and finished like the old-fashioned percale, not this new seems to be everywhere sateen finish, which I intensely dislike because they are slippery. I will not buy them!!
