I read the negative reviews before I bought this and felt like taking a chance; I'm not sure what the negative reviewers were expecting because these sheets are exactly what they look like in the photos. They are thin fleece and delightfully soft. My husband tends to run hot, so they are perfect for him for the freezing winter nights. I have circulation issues and tend to run very cold, so they are not quite warm enough for me, BUT STILL WAY BETTER than regular sheets!Lastly, I docked one star because they do start pilling relatively early on. I just use a fabric shaver and they are as good as new.In regards to softness it's an ok set. As far as keeping you warm it definitely does the job.I was disappointed in the color. The picture was a pretty medium gray but the sheet set was dark gray with a greenish cast. Other than the color they are nice.I have a set of these sheets that I have had for years and they wash and dry beautifully and are almost like new! I am so happy to find them again!! I am only replacing them because I have changed the colors in my bedroom. My son immediately scarfed up the ones I had. I will order another set in the other color in my bedroom.I live in Bethel Alaska and these sheets are very warm and soft. They do get nubbies but they are very comfortableWhen I first took them out of the package I thought I would be returning them because they felt very thin and cheap. I kept them and so far they’re fine. They have a deep pocket so they fit a pillow top great.Maybe not the cheapest but if you like warm and soft, these are for you!. I have had these in the wash every week for nine months now. Still soft and warm!These are the best fleece sheets I have bought. They are extremely soft and the price is hard to beat.
