Whatever the heck this fabric is, its exactly whatmy sweaty-sleeping selfneeds and loves, one SELF tester says.
She also noted their breathability and lovely durable texture.
The sheets were smooth and soft, and I noticed that they felt more breathable than my standard ones.
Still, the sheets did feel especially cool.
Theyre also lightweight and cooling to keep hot sleepers comfortable even in warm weather.
In 2025, we shouldnt be forcing fitted sheets over mattress corners.

Because theyre 100% cotton, they will wrinkle easilyeven after you iron them, our tester found.
But we still recommend them if finding a set made from organic materials is important to you.

Most bedding experts would agree thread counts between300 to 500are excellent for comfort, breathability, and durability.
Very high thread counts (over 1,000) are likely to be marketing gimmicks.
But thread count isnt everything: Thats just one factor that influences fabric quality, Dr. Kaylor adds.
Instead, pick a hypoallergenic detergent for sensitive skin.
If youre using a dryer, select a low to medium heat setting to prevent shrinkage and damage.
