Katie: Hey, guys.
It's Katie from Mattress Clarity.
Today, I've got Layla's Premium Bamboo Sheets to review for you.
They're gorgeous, super soft, drape so nicely over the bed.
I'm going to take them out of the box right now and make our bed with them.

Katie: Sheets are on the bed.
They're super soft and cozy.
It actually made me think of a question I had for you.
Are you familiar with bamboo sheets?
How many of you have these already, and are just looking for a new pair?
Comment yes if you're familiar with bamboo or no if you're brand new to the whole world
of bamboo sheets.
Don't worry because I'm about to dive into everything you need to know about bamboo sheets
and why they are so awesome.
The Layla Premium Bamboo Sheets come in two different colors, a white set like this one
and a grey set.
The white set does have a little bit of grey piping around the edging and on the pillow,
which is a nice added touch.
Also comes in a wide range of sizes.
There's a twin, twin XL, full, queen, king and California king.
This is a queen set on the bed.
Now, it's a 100 percent viscose from bamboo.
Basically, viscose refers to the manufacturing process that's involved in getting the plant
from the bamboo plant into a thread that can be woven into the fabric created to make these
sheets.
Bamboo is known for having a lot of nice characteristics.
Durability, super, super soft, lightweight and breathable.
It's also moisture-wicking, hypoallergenic.
Of course, the bamboo plant is very eco-friendly, regenerates very quickly, and uses a lot less
water to harvest or grow than other plants.
For those reasons, a lot of people are drawn towards the bamboo sheets.
Of course, being super, super soft and lightweight is just an added bonus.
Now, as I mentioned before, the sheets are hypoallergenic, so they're very allergy friendly.
The whole sheet set comes with a 120 night trial, so you can give them a try and see
if they're a good fit for you.
A queen set comes in at full price at around $195.
Here's some of the things I love about the Layla Bamboo Sheets.
First of all, if you can tell, they're super, super soft and lightweight.
They don't feel like cotton or a jersey knit you might be familiar with, though.
They're their own light soft.
I don't know.
I would say even buttery feel to them.
They're awesome for hot sleepers or people who live in hotter climates.
Maybe it's summer, and you just want a nice light set of sheets on your bed.
These could be a great fit.
They're also super allergen friendly.
Hypoallergenic, they're moisture-wicking.
They're going to last for a long time with this anti-microbial, anti-deodorizing characteristics
that they're said to have.
I slept well on them.
I washed them several times, had no issues with durability, which is great as well.
Plus, I love that Layla gives you 120 nights to try them out, so you can get to know them
pretty well and see if they're a good fit for you.
I want to bring up a few things for you to take into consideration with these sheets.
The first one is bamboo sheets across the board.
The Layla Sheets are no exception.
They just tend to get wrinkly easily.
It's something that is in the fabric.
I don't know exactly what it is, but one way to combat the wrinkles is to pull them out
of the dryer right when they're done drying when they're still a little bit warm.
I think you know what I'm talking about.
It's a nice feeling and throw them straight on your bed.
That will help smooth out the wrinkles.
If you don't have time for that, grab an iron, put it on a low setting and iron them out,
or you can just leave them to be a little bit wrinkly.
If wrinkles bother you, this might just not be the fabric for you.
I also want to talk about how lightweight these sheets are.
They're glorious if you're a hot sleeper because they just drape so nicely.
They feel cool all night long, they are moisture-wicking.
On the opposite end, if you're a cold sleeper, maybe it's the dead of winter, and you want
all of the layers, this fabric may not be the best choice for you right now.
Last but not least, I want to address the price.
At full price for a queen set, these sheets cost $195.
Now, that's not outrageous, but that's also a decent investment.
I don't want to pretend like that's nothing for sheets.
Just know that you have 120 nights to try them out, but you want to consider the price
as well.
Overall, I think Layla did a great job with their bamboo sheets.
They're so soft, lightweight, and they have these great characteristics that come with
bamboo sheets.
The antimicrobial nature, anti-deodorizing nature, and they're eco-friendly.
What's not to love about all of that?
I would love to see them in some more colors at some point.
Don't forget that they do wrinkle pretty easily.
Follow those instructions.
They should last you a long time.

I've got a full written review with more details.
Don't hesitate to let me know if you got any questions about these sheets or bamboo sheets
in general.
Thanks so much.
I'll see you soon.
