This is new, never used! You put them in, and yes, they're soft enough to sleep in! You wake up, take them out, and your hair is just about ready for the day!! The rollers are large, great for thicker hair! Please look at all photos as they are a part of the description! Price is FIRM unless bundled with other items... Smoke-free, pet friendly home (Dogs) I ship the same or next business day!!
