How soft are they? I want a softer cotton feeling-my 'linen' napkins feel like brillo pads!

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

Fabric softner can be oily/moist like lotion and may change the texture of the pads. I wash them the same way I wash my kitchen towels - liquid detergent, NO fabric softener, set the washer to do an extra rinse and into the dryer (no softener sheets). No "lotiony" feel, just clean. I hope this makes sense and you find it helpful.

yes they are. not as soft out of the package as some I've owned, but getting there after a few washes.

I think that they are slightly thicker than normal plastic table cloths that come on a roll. They are not lined in any way so they do not have a soft back. I hope this helps.

I'm not sure about the cotton, but these are some of the nicest sheets I've ever bought. Very soft to the touch. I have another pair sitting in my cart for my next order.

No clue. I just threw in the washer on hot (I bought white napkins), dried and pressed. They did great!

These are average softness. Probably not soft enough for her delicate skin. Try a bamboo washcloth, they are super soft!

I guess this will depend on how old your Grandma is! No pilling whatsoever; but they are not especially "smooth". They soften up after several washes. I'm very satisfied with the feel...I just wish they were a bit thicker.

Yes they are very soft, you will like them. But it smells bad once you receive them, but it will go away.

They are microfiber, so I am also unsure why there is any confusion. They feel very soft, comparable to an Egyptian cotton.

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?

They may be "Egyptian fibers", but that does not make them cotton. I bought a set from Amazon and they were made out of a plastic-like material, soft and slippery. I think they are microfiber. Not what I was looking for but I know some people like that feeling on their skin.

Well, That are "NOT" sateen. They are very soft .. They don't come out perfect from the dryer. I try to get them on the bed fresh hot out the dryer though. I do love these sheets though. very soft and comfy. I would by them again.

They are more of a cotton feel but not a high thread count and could be softer.

I only have the Estate, they are softer after washing but I don't know how they compare to the Dream collection. I like these sheets, though they are loud (noise against the skin) because they are thick, crisp cotton. I have since begun using a Bamboo sheet which I prefer but I think that if I keep washing my Estate set I will like it better.
