Bed sheets come in three main types: fitted, flat or in a set. The fitted sheet lies directly on the mattress, has four sewn corners creating a specific length pocket & is sewn with elastic to hold it in place on the bed. The flat or top sheet, generally goes on top of the fitted sheet and is (like the name says!) sewn flat with a hem. The set includes both the fitted and the flat sheet along with 4 pillowcases.

Generally seen as TC or CT, thread count refers to the amount of threads woven together per square inch. Count both lengthwise (warp) and widthwise (weft) threads. For instance, 100 lengthwise threads woven with 100 widthwise threads produce a thread count of 200 per square inch.

Higher thread counts are not always better, nor does it indicate quality. Higher thread count wovens are most often achieved by using thinner, less-wound threads (packing more threads into that square inch mentioned above). Doing this can cause less stable woven fabric that is more susceptible to wearing out faster. The most recommended thread counts are between 200 and 400. The Cool Luxe™ sheet set is a 300TC that uses a single-ply yarn.

A 65% cotton/35% TENCEL blend combines the best of both worlds! Cotton is a luxurious natural fiber known for its breathability. TENCELl Lyocell can be combined to add moisture-wicking, softness, and durability to other materials. Blends of cotton and Tencel, like the Cool Luxe™ sheets, are ideal as they combine two materials known for their temperature-regulation and durability.

The Better Cotton Initiative (BCI) is a global not-for-profit organization and the largest cotton sustainability program in the world. BCI exists to make global cotton production better for the people who produce it, better for the environment it grows in and better for the sector’s future. Through BCI and its Partners, farmers receive training on how to use water efficiently, care for the health of the soil and natural habitats, reduce use of the most harmful chemicals and apply decent work principles. BCI Farmers implementing this system are licensed to sell Better Cotton.

TENCEL™ branded lyocell fibers are known for their natural comfort and environmentally-responsible closed loop production process. They are produced from sustainably-grown wood, and the solvents used during processing are collected and reused (closed loop) to minimize the environmental impact. They deliver quality, performance and versatility. Unique physical properties lead to their high-tenacity profile, efficient moisture management and gentleness to skin.

According to OEKO-TEX.com, OEKO-TEX® Standard 100 certification is specific to any textile that touches the skin. “If a textile article carries the STANDARD 100 label, you can be certain that every component of this article, i.e. every thread, button and other accessories, has been tested for harmful substances and that the article therefore is harmless for human health. In the test they take into account numerous regulated and non-regulated substances, which may be harmful to human health. In many cases the limit values for the STANDARD 100 go beyond national and international requirements. The criteria catalog is updated at least once a year and expanded with new scientific knowledge or statutory requirements. It is not easy for manufacturers and customers to keep an overview of the legal situation concerning harmful substances every day.”

Pocket depth refers to the length of the seam located at the corners of the fitted sheet. Generally speaking, the pocket depth will fit 1-3 inches larger than the depth of the mattress. The elastic at the hem of the sheet allows for some stretch; thus oftentimes sites will say “fits up to” several inches larger than the finished pocket size. So when it’s time to make that purchase be sure you know your measurements: mattress height and any toppers you may be using for a comfort layer. The Cool Luxe fitted sheet has a 16 inch pocket depth and will fit a mattress up to 18 inches tall.

Bed sheets should be cleaned before first use and at least every two weeks. If you sleep hot and sweat often, or have pets you should consider washing your sheets every week (this is especially important for people with sensitive skin).

Always read the wash instructions for your bed sheets. For best results, wash separately from other items to reduce wear and minimize wrinkling.. Often if washing every week with a low soil level cold water is fine; however- if especially soiled hot water can be used. In order to reduce wear and wrinkling, sheets should always be washed alone. No bleach.

These sheets are a comfortable blend of 65% cotton/35% TENCEL and are made in Pakistan.

It's a sale where all purchases are considered final. Meaning once you buy something, you can't return or exchange it.

When shopping for a final sale, it's important to keep a few things in mind:

• No returns or exchanges: Remember that all purchases during a final sale are considered final, meaning no returns or exchanges are allowed. If an item is received defective, damaged, or as a mis-ship, we will make exceptions for these situations.
• Check the sizing: Since you won't be able to exchange the item, it's important to make sure you're buying the right size.
• Sales tax: Depending on where you live, sales tax may still be added to the final sale price.
