These are the BEST sheets I have ever purchased in the 50 years of my adult life. I have bought expensive brand names in the past that cannot hold a candle to these. Not even Lauren Ralph Lauren. The pockets on the fitted sheet are almost deep enough to cover not only my mattress (which has a built-in topper PLUS a 3" memory foam topper) but almost deep enough to cover the box springs also....almost. I measured and found roughly 20" of depth. Not only that, the top sheet is also generously sized. The faux cowhide along the top of it and on the pillow cases is fabric of a suede-like feel. These luxurious sheets are worth the expensive price. They are thick and they will last for many years.
