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 would return them. Cotton sateen should be soft and silky!! Mine are softer now than they were when I washed them for the first time.

Have not washed mine yet but this is what I am going to do. I am going to treat them like they were a gentle item I wash, I am going to spray them with fantasic because fantastic takes off everything it is amazing.. I am then going to put them into a pillow case tie it shut and wash them on gentle cycle.. I then am going to air dry them... Or in summer I will lay them out on my patio table to dry in the sun .. God Bless

I've washed them in the washer using the delicate cycle, and just let them air dry. After all the cleanings and uses they're still like new!

I've washed mine a few times. Have yet to experience any wear and tear. My friend washed his twice a week and they are still good as new.

They are very smooth - this is what I like about them. No bumps what so ever but only washed twice so far. Reviews say they do not get bumpy after several washes. I love them!

I have not noticed any but I have only washed them a few times since I got them. They seem pretty nice to me still.

They seem fairly smooth to me. Perhaps a little sanding here and there, but otherwise I could not catagorize them as "rough finished".Hope that helps :)

I've washed mine with my daughters clothes and they seem to be fine. I wash on delicate cycle. I've washed a few times and they are still in good condition.

I will check, they are away for the winter season. I do love them and would buy them again. I have washed them several times and they still look new.

I don't think they are rough. We use them with our child and have had no problems. It's super soft or plush like velour or fleece - it's cotton - but it works great for us.

I'm not sure but I know it's a high count. I've washed them many times now and they haven't shown any indicative of becoming scratchy
