About Sheets
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.
