I just recenlty recieved this set, man!! the comforter is very soft , the sheets could be softer but, once I washed them they were perfect.... I love it so much, very very comfy!!! I was very hesitate on getting this since I need to feel the fabric before i buy, well, I am very pleased and going to get one for a friend as a gift, I am a female who lives alone and this would work for a man or a women!!! Love love love it.
