The harmonious color combination this bedding works really nice flowers fresh. I have measured out of the box to determine if they greatly shrink or if she still has the specified size even after washing. The cushion is in unwashed condition 4 cm longer than the specified standard size of 80 x 80 cm. The duvet cover, which should have a size of 135 x 200 cm have is, even 7 cm longer. After the first wash at 60 ° C the sheets fit perfectly now. I have washed with mild detergent, which the manufacturer also recommends that the colors remain long so beautiful. The sheets can also at any time over medium heat in the dryer and does not need to be ironed after removal. If drying is carried on a leash, it looks more beautiful when they are ironed easily, because otherwise it some creases creep in. How much emphasis is placed on a smooth ironed linen, of course, is always a matter of opinion. The material is 100% mako satin, where there is a particularly finely woven cotton, which feels pleasantly smooth on the surface. The bedding is comparatively not as smooth as the mako satin sheets from a different manufacturer, I have for a year in use and properly cool to the touch on the skin. However, this also has the advantage that you can only use in summer bedding Mirage not, but also good in the transitional period. I see them somewhere in the middle between very smooth sateen and Linon, in turn, woven somewhat coarse and thus is rougher. Donned sees the linen by its friendly color from very decorative. The practical zippers are of good quality, and the processing of laundry is very neat. I assess positively the certification according to Oeko-Tex Standard 100th
