I loved Haband's microfiber sheets the very first time I tried them, but like the other purchaser who complained, the elastic gave out the very first time I used them, in one pair after the first (warm) washing, and on the second (believe it or not) before I even washed them once! It's too bad, because the sheets are attractive and comfortable, but with the elastic gone, they no longer are "fitted sheets" !!! CJS
