The bottom line: The bedding is pure French flax linen without breaking the bank. Bed Threads is another brand with high-quality products that come in an incredible range of colors (currently 22!). A friend of mine has a range of sunset hues on his bed and frankly, I’m jealous (though it’s hard to go wrong with white linen sheets). I would sing the praises of these sheets any day.

My sleep preferences: As I noted above, I’m a pretty cold sleeper. But I crave a set of cooling sheets once blistering-hot NYC days come around June every year.
My experience: These sheets are soft yet breathable, so much so that I forget that I sleep cold when these are on my bed. I love the lavish look for silk sheets, but the price tag usually makes me think otherwise. These sheets have the same appearance to me as a high-end set of silk or satin without the cost. These are even more unique because of the jewel tones like sapphire that’s hard to find with other brands.
The bottom line: If you want the extravagance of silk at an affordable price, this is a great option. It boasts high-quality, sustainable materials that feel like they will last for years to come.

My sleep preferences: I tend to use just about every excuse possible to linger in bed in the morning, so I know better than to keep my bedroom so cool that I won’t want to get out from under the covers! Ideally, the room is set to around 67 degrees, but other than that, I’m not picky when it comes to sleep needs. When it comes to sheet needs, though, the feel of the fabric has to be ultra-soft.
When made into bedding, specifically at Sijo, the result is incredibly soft, smooth, and hypoallergenic. The sheets remind me of my favorite silk shirt, airy and comfortable yet elegant. They are pleasantly lightweight, meaning that they not only drape beautifully along the sides of the bed, but they are also conveniently breathable—or “naturally cooling,” as the brand puts it.
My experience: I’ve used the Eucalyptus sheets year-round at this point—under a lightweight quilt in the summer and a down comforter in the winter—and they’ve remained silky-soft and wonderfully breathable. I’ve certainly noticed a less humid sleep experience in comparison to my past sheet sets.
The bottom line: I can’t get over how comfortable the set is, and—cooling aside—it has a fabulous sheen to it that still has me like a kid in a pet store, wanting to touch its softness every time I walk by. I’d certainly recommend it to friends, but only with the disclaimer that I don’t want to hear complaints if they (like me) struggle to get out from under these sheets in the morning.

My sleep preferences: Hot sleeper year-round, particularly fond of natural fibers.
My experience: These are truly some substantial sheets, so the weight and sturdy feeling were noticeable first. I love the color range you can choose from, but I went with the classic white. The more I sleep in these sheets, the softer they get—it’s true. I also find the linen to be an ideal match for my typically hot body temperature. Apparently the weight of the fabric is part of why it helps with a deeper sleep too. Plus, the more wear on the linen, the softer it gets.
The bottom line: Though this sheet set is a bit steep in price, the quality is unmatched and I predict I’ll use these for as long as they’ll last (seemingly incredibly long!). You really get what you pay for, so I would say these are A+++ sheets.

My sleep preferences: Likes a supersoft, hypoallergenic sheet with good ventilation.
My experience: Sleeping on these sheets felt like being draped in a luxuriously lightweight silk that often had me wishing I didn’t have to get out of bed in the morning. At first, I immediately noticed how next-level soft the bamboo viscose fabric was and how nicely the fitted sheet clung my bed. Though it still has a nice weight to it, the fabric is thin enough to allow air to pass easily through the layer and keep me comfortable all night long. Even more impressive, these sheets kept me cool and dry during a string of mid-90-degree days when I’d normally resort to using a fan to stay comfortable (which I prefer not to because of the noise). If I had just one wish, it would be that these sheets came in colors other than white (but thankfully, I’ve been told the brand is releasing more colors later this year!).
