The ever versatile cotton. We make just about anything with
it, but we love it in our sheets, too. What's up, world? It's Tony.
And for this review, I've got my top six picked for the best cotton sheets
of the year. Remember, you can find all of these sheets with with written
reviews, or you can find them in one place.
mattressclarity.com And if by the end of this video
you decide you want to pick up one of these sheets for yourself, I've got
some coupons for you in our description box below. Let's get started here
at Mattress Clarity. We love Casper Mattress, so naturally we
love the sheets, too. The brand makes a variety of cotton sheets, but my
favorite to end all favorites are the Casper Percale.
Throughout this video, you're going to hear me talk about two weave styles,
Percale and Sateen. We bring this up because these
two weave styles produce different feels. One might feel softer than the other,
but what you go with ultimately boils down to personal preference.
The Percale weave is also called the plain weave, and it's going
to make sheets look mattress and feel crisp. Cotton on
its own feels pretty crisp. And in combination with this weave style,
it's going to feel very crisp, which is what cotton fans love.
Knowing a company has gone the extra mile to make something certified
organic is a great way to rest easy. We love
an organic Birch mattress, but Birch makes an organic set of cotton
sheets, too. The Birch sheets are GOTS certified,
which is the gold standard for organic products.
They also feature that other style of weeds, the Sateen weave, which leaves
sheets feeling rather silky and buttery smooth, which these sheets are.
They're a win for hot sleepers because they're moisture working and breathable,
so they've got tons of room for airflow, and you've got five colors
to pick from 100 nights to test them out and a one year warranty if
you decide to keep them. One other
type of cotton you'll see on the market is Egyptian cotton.
Because this type is grown in the Egyptian climate, it's going to
be more durable and a little bit softer than cotton grown here in the US.
Our favorite set of Egyptian cotton sheets are the Parachute Percale sheets.
These are a bit more lightweight and softer than traditional cotton sheets,
but because of that Percale weave, they still feel really crisp. The Parachute
says the more you use them and the more you wash them, they'll get softer.
The fitted sheet has deep pockets that can fit mattresses up to 16 inches
tall, and you have nine neutral color options to pick from.
If you love color, if you decide to get them, you have 60 nights to
try them out. And if you keep them, you get a three year warranty.
No one likes night sweat. If this is a problem for you,
then look at a breathable set of cotton sheets with a lower thread count.
American Blossom Linens Sheets Classic Sheets. They're made right
here in the US with 100% West Texas cotton and
a sturdy elastic band in that cotton sheets.
These are another set of organic cotton sheets. American Blossom does not treat
their sheets with chemicals or dyes, so you only have two color options
white or natural. But American Blossom linens that other
companies can artificially inflate their thread count, so they custom made
a thread count of 180 for their sheets. This combination
of breathable cotton and a lower thread count makes it a win for hot sleepers
because there's going to be room for air to flow through these sheets so you
won't sleep hot and sweaty underneath them.
Heading back to Weave Style My favorite set of sheets that feature the percale
weave are the Brooklinen Classic Set. They are
Oeko Tech certified, which means they are toxic and chemical
free, but they're going to have that crisp feeling that cotton
sheets are known for, and they're pretty breathable with a 270
thread count, so you'll sleep cool underneath these sheets. Brooklinen Sheets
this set in a few different color and design options, but my favorite
part and I do mean my favorite part about these sheets is
that the cotton sheets has long and short side labels,
so if you're anything like me, you'll get the fitted sheet on the
bed the right way on the first try.
Last but not least, a presidential set of sheets that were used
by former Presidents Clinton and Bush. The Boll & Branch
Sheets These sheets have that sateen weave,
which makes them feel super silky and buttery smooth, and the fitted
sheet can fit mattress up to 17 inches tall.
Boll & Branch uses 100% organic cotton that's grown without
pesticides for all my eco friendly lovers out there.
And finally, you have ten neutral color options to pick from.
I've gathered a few of the most frequently asked questions about cotton sheets,
so let's answer them. First Question What's a good thread count
for cotton sheets? Thread count isn't the only
thing you need to look at when buying new sheets. It just refers to
the number of threads woven into a square inch of fabric.
However, with three different types of cotton sheets on the market,
cotton, Egyptian cotton, and Supima cotton,
paying attention to thread count becomes more important.
For traditional cotton sheets. You typically don't want to see it dip below
200 or go over about four or 500.
For Egyptian cotton, it can cap out at around 704.
Supima Cotton a range of two to 300 is considered good.
Second Question Is 100% cotton good for sheep?
It is. Cotton is a little pricier than polyester,
but not as expensive as linens or silks. It's more durable than
some synthetic materials on the market, too, and in my experience,
it feels much more crisp than other materials as well. But that's
what cotton fans love about it. Final Question: Do
cotton sheets keep you cool? They do.
Cotton is a really breathable material and we don't find it in just our
sheets but in the clothes we wear because I don't know about you
but I'm not putting on a hot and stuffy shirt. If overheating is
a problem for you, then consider a cotton set of sheets with a
lower thread count to allow for lots of air to flow through your
sheet so you'll sleep cool at night. There you have it.
