I don't understand how these sheets are far superior to a standard cotton sheet; but they are. Having the stretchy sheets makes for a very pleasant blissful sleep. But they do require to be washed in cold water; which is a first for me. I make sure to use a sanitizing laundry detergent.

I bought these incase our old sheets didn't fit. I plan to donate my old sheets now and order these in every color, twice. I like to sleep with the fan and AC on so I feel like I'm in the artic. These sheets and stay perfectly cool and warm. They are breezy, but weighted, soft and sturdy. No other sheet is comparable.

I liked the first stretch sheets from Purple, but it seemed like they were wearing out more quickly than I expected (2-3 years with worn spots everywhere). So when the SoftStretch Sheets became available, I decided to try them out. I haven't had them long enough to evaluate the wear value, but they seem to be sturdier and are still soft and stretchy.

Personally, I liked the feel of the older version better, but the newer ones are MUCH more durable. The older style would get pills and pulls from my cats claws, but the newer style doesn't get either. I love them. Too bad there wasn't a trade in policy, now I've got 9 sets lol, I'm addicted to Purple bedding!!!

I am SO HAPPY I purchased these sheets! My husband and I have a queen size Tempurpedic -like bed (not that brand, a "knock off", but a good one) and due to the depth of it, we've had trouble finding sheets that fit and STAY on the bed. It seemed one corner was always popping off, even with sheets that were adequate in size. It was my husband who figured out, over time, that the problem is that the sheets don't move WITH you when you move in bed, and perhaps if the did, they would stay on the bed. Low and behold, that was the solution! We have had the sheets for two weeks now and have not had a single incident of "corner popping!" You will notice that they feel heavier than normal sheets, due to all the elastic, but they are not hotter than percale. And, they are very nice and soft. A worthwhile investment!

I cannot express enough how much I LOVE these sheets! They are such a big improvement from the original purple sheets! You can definitely tell the difference in quality- these are a lot more thicker yet soft and still cool to the touch! I loved them so much I bought another SoftStretch set in lilac

I love these sheets I really do, they super soft, they stretch every which way so nicely, the top sheet is a bit heavier which is amazing. The sheets have one fatal flaw, at least the fitted sheet does, it tears so easily. I don't know how the fitted sheet is tearing, I examine it after every wash and dry and It'll never have a new hole but then one day we'll wake up and find a new small hole in the sheet. I thought it might be a bad one, so I got a replacement under warranty and sure enough the fitted sheet got a small hole within the first week, I am so disappointed. I've never had bed sheets that just develop holes in them, it's mind boggling, I don't go to bed wear scissors and knives on my hips but the fitted sheet just keeps getting small holes. I would gladly give 5 stars if the darn things didn't constantly develop a hole.

The "true white" is purple. It also slips like others have mentioned, but that wasn't a big turn off for me. I will say that it seems to sleep cooler than my previous sheets (microfiber, so the bar was low), and the stretch is nice on the fitted sheet.

My wife and I bought a Purple split king a few years ago. When we did, we got a set of sheets as well. They were really amazing - super soft, stretchy, and actually cooled us. We needed another set recently and bought them from purple again. They're okay but not at all like the set we had before. They are more stiff and don't have the same cooling properties. Again, not an overall bad set of sheets but not nearly as good as the old ones and pretty dang pricey.

These sheets are truly cool enhanced, I tend to get very warm under the covers and these sheets completely negate that feeling for me giving me a very cool temperature when sleeping. This is a benefit since I live in Phoenix, AZ where temps can be 120+ degrees. Soft and comfortable sheets!!
