Nautical by Nature: New Garnet Hill sheets

I am updating my bedroom (finally): getting a headboard (see post here), and I received my first set of grown up sheets from Garnet Hill as part of their "style it your way" challenge. I am reviewing the signature wrinkle resistant embroidered sateen bedding. I requested the royal navy to go with my duvet cover and headboard (I think I am going with navy!). I love my patterned sheets (I have the whale sheets from Garnet Hill as my "fun" set) but I think the white looks a bit more adult. I like the idea of mixing and matching the two sets too though. The sheets are very comfortable (I am very picky about bedding-I don't like flannel or anything itchy or stiff). They are 400 thread count Egyptian cotton, with almost a satin feel. These sheets are smooth right out of the dryer-no ironing necessary. That's a major pro because I do NOT iron! The duvet could use some ironing but no time for that right now!
