About Sheets

Performance fabrics or natural fibers

Performance sheet sets from our Bedgear collection are engineered rather than woven traditionally: moisture-moving fibers, stretch that keeps the surface smooth, and covers designed to push heat away instead of holding it. They are the obvious answer for anyone who sleeps hot in a Gulf Coast summer. Natural fibers work differently. Organic cotton percale is a crisp, breathable, hotel-bed weave. Sateen is smoother and drapes heavier. Linen is the most breathable of all and gets better with every wash.

Getting the fit right

Measure the height of your mattress before you buy anything. A 10-inch foam bed and a 16-inch pillow-top hybrid do not take the same fitted sheet, and a shallow pocket on a tall mattress is the single most common complaint we hear about bedding. If you sleep on a split king over an adjustable base, you need two twin XL fitted sheets rather than one king, and a set built for split configurations keeps the sheets from pulling loose every time the head lifts.

Sheets for cribs and kids' rooms

Crib and kid sizes have their own rules: snug fit, no loose fabric, and materials worth washing twice a week. We carry organic cotton sateen and breathable muslin crib sheets alongside performance crib sheets, plus kid-sized percale and sateen sets. Parents shopping the Naturepedic range can match sheets to the same organic materials used in the mattress underneath.

What to buy with them

Sheets sit between you and everything else on the bed, so they only work as well as what is under and on top of them. A breathable mattress protector keeps the mattress clean without trapping heat, and the right pillow and pillowcase pairing finishes the setup. Buying two sets of everyday sheets is also worth doing: rotating them doubles how long each set lasts.

Come feel the difference

Fabric is the one thing you genuinely cannot judge on a screen. Our Richmond showroom and Katy showroom keep sheet sets out where you can feel a percale against a sateen and a performance knit against a flannel in the same minute. Most people change their mind at least once in that comparison, which is exactly why it is worth making in person.

Questions, answered

What are the best cooling sheets for hot sleepers?
Look for a fabric built to move air and moisture rather than one that just feels cool in the shop. The Bedgear Ver-Tex set cools on contact, Dri-Tec wicks sweat so it evaporates, and Hyper-Cotton blends bamboo with cotton for airflow. Organic cotton percale from Naturepedic is the natural-fiber alternative, because a crisp percale weave breathes better than sateen.
Does thread count matter when buying sheets?
Less than the weave and the fiber do. Naturepedic's organic cotton percale is 300 thread count and sleeps crisp and cool, their sateen is 400 and feels smoother with a slight sheen, and their Supima set is a 300 thread count woven two-ply for a 600 thread count feel. Same fiber, three very different nights, and the number barely explains it.
Are split king sheets the same as twin XL?
A split king bed is two twin XL mattresses side by side, so the fitted sheets are twin XL. A split king set gets you both of them together: Bedgear's Dri-Tec, Ver-Tex, Hyper-Cotton, Hyper-Linen and Hyper-Wool Flannel sets all offer split king, and the Bed-Tech brushed microfiber set does too. Dri-Tec and Ver-Tex add split head sizes for a split-head bed.
Will these sheets fit a deep or tall mattress?
The Bedgear Dri-Tec Performance set is the one to look at first, because pocket depth is an option on it rather than a guess. Hyper-Linen uses a patented Powerband that grips the mattress and stops shifting, bunching and popped corners. If you are not sure, bring your mattress size and depth in and the team will check it against the set before you buy.
What are the best fitted sheets for a Tempur-Pedic mattress?
A deep-pocket fitted sheet, because TEMPUR mattresses are taller than the profile most sheet sets are cut for. The Bedgear Dri-Tec Performance set has a deep-pocket option built in, and Hyper-Linen's Powerband keeps the corners down on a tall bed. Measure your mattress height first, because that single number decides whether a set will stay on.
Which sheets here are organic cotton?
The Naturepedic sets. Their organic cotton percale, sateen and Supima sheets are all GOTS certified, and they come as a standard set, a partial set, or single fitted and flat sheets, so you can replace one piece instead of a whole set. Naturepedic also makes GOTS certified organic muslin crib sheets with no chemical flame retardants.
Are muslin sheets breathable?
Yes, muslin is a loose, open cotton weave, which is exactly why it breathes. Naturepedic's organic breathable muslin crib sheets are GOTS certified organic cotton with no chemical flame retardants or GOTS-prohibited dyes or treatments, and they stay soft through repeated washing. They are made for crib mattresses rather than adult beds.
