Do they get softer with washing? New (before washing) they seem very rough and I'm thinking of sending them back.

While much better after washing, they do have a "crisp" feel when you handle them after washing, rather than a "soft" feel, but honestly, when you put them on the bed, and sleep on them, they feel like old fashioned crisply ironed sheets, and it is a very pleasant feeling, smooth, and fresh. I wasn't sure about them myself at first, but now I love that feeling of sliding between those sheets that feel as though someone has ironed them smooth and crisp. And the ones I bought wear well, washing after washing, enough so that I ordered a second set. I love them.

I would say they've gotten a bit softer, but haven't changed dramatically. I LOVE these sheets though!! Give them a chance, unless you really want a dramatically different feel. You may have to go w/ synthetic fabrics to get it though.

I have only washed them once in my washer on delicate. Since then I have been just washing them with soap and water while on my hands and it has been great! I hang them to dry on my drying rack.

I've been washing them on the highest heat with steam and adding vinegar. Dry them on my normal dry setting. No issues yet, I've washed mine about 10 times so far and no problems

They are 100% cotton and will soften when you wash them. I bought them for use with my great-grandmother's china and I love their performance. Hope this will help you?

I have washed mine multiple times and they are still soft and holding up. As soon as the dryer is done just fluff it up with your hands.

Just washed them & smooth out any rough spots. P.s. DONT soak it as long as they say. It gets very soft quickly & will tear.

Never had that trouble with mine. Only hand wash. Might need to oil them a bit to see if that helps,

These are pretty soft.. They were stiffer when I first got them, but after a wash or two.. They were perfect!!

They are not gritty. Nor are they smooth! They have raised letters, but I had to feel them after reading the question to know for sure. They feel more on the smooth side. Definitely not gritty!

I've washed mine quite a few times stuck in with normal loads of laundry. They have came out clean and so far no signs of wear and tear.

As for now it seems to be okay. I've put them through 2 washes and so far so good. I can't say how they are going to do in a few months, but from the looks of how they are doing now... they should be okay. I hope that helps. Best....

The short answer is no. I have had no problem with them except they are not soft but I have noticed they are getting better with each wash. Having so much cotton in them (820 grams) I expect them to last a long time and to get progressively better with age, and yes I will buy them again as I am impressed by them.

okay whoops...I washed mine. Honestly (and luckily) they came out fine. Not sure what damage I've done now...but they still like new.

These are somewhere in between. They aren't bumpy, although I've only washed them twice so far, but they aren't super smooth like others I've had. They produced a ton of lint in the dryer and make little pills on my socks if I wear any to bed. These are fuzzy and cozy, but not bumpy or super smooth.

No I haven't had that kind if discomfort with them . They are soft but there is a crispness to them.

Yes, they are very, very washed. They used to be good, but they are garbage now. Not to mention, the customer service is deplorable.
