Can Sheets Really Help Me Sleep?

After my silk snafu, I was skeptical that a set of sheets (which, according to the thousands of 5-star reviews, last FOREVER) would be able to actually keep me cool in my AC-less studio apartment. But when my rich yellow Saffron colored sheets arrived, I was ready to be proven wrong. In a stroke of genius, they came prewashed, so I was able to immediately tear my old sheets off my bed and toss on the Signature Sateen. 

Now, this all took place during a brutal heatwave… and I have one huge window in my apartment that faces west. Meaning that the sun bakes my apartment in the latter half of the day, leaving it steamy and me sweaty. So tonight would be the perfect stress test for my brand new ettitude sheets. 

At a respectable bedtime of 10:30pm, I started my nightly routine: double chocolate Milanos and a glass of milk, brush teeth, moisturize, get in bed with my phone by my pillow – ready to doom-scroll in the oppressive heat until finally passing out at 2am. But something strange happened. Instead of tossing and turning for hours, taking a desperate cold shower, and waking up in sheets dampened by my own sweat, I actually… fell asleep. And I was COMFORTABLE. 

When I tell you these sheets are breathable and stay cool, you have to believe me. I was seriously not expecting to knock out so fast. My body finally felt like it could rest, I guess. And then I woke up feeling refreshed and frankly, like I didn’t want to get out of bed!

If you live in the heat like me and are tired (literally) of sweating through your sheets, seriously try these Signature Sateen sheets from ettitude ASAP. They will change your life. 

What Makes Them Special?

So, what makes the ettitude Signature Sateen sheets the absolute best choice for people living in hot climates? Turns out, it’s science!

CleanBamboo® Lyocell has 17% greater breathability when compared to cotton, which most people use for their sheets. Greater breathability translates to airier, breezier, and overall cooler. The innovative fabric is also 24% faster at wicking away moisture, meaning that you don’t just stay cool, you stay dry. Sweaty sleepers rejoice! 

But it’s not just the comfort factor that gets backed up by facts. I can also feel good, like, morally about using these sheets. Bamboo is a super sustainable material to make sheets out of because it grows insanely fast. The bamboo in ettitude sheets is also grown with 100% rainwater in a process that saves 99% more water than cotton, and 58% more water than bamboo viscose. And talk about a decreased carbon footprint: my buttery-soft new sheets save 45% CO2 compared to cotton and bamboo viscose!

Speaking of bamboo viscose – aka, the more common material used for bamboo sheets – apparently, that stuff isn’t too great. It’s made using toxic solvents, which aren’t good for your body or for the planet.

Okay, you get it, it’s not just a placebo effect. These sheets are actually great! Try them for yourself if you want to be good to your body and to the planet. 

Start Sleeping Better

Simply put, these sheets rock. They keep me cool, they keep me dry, and they keep me comfy-cozy. I am forever grateful to that cute dude on Instagram for tipping me off to bamboo – because I’m never going back to silk, cotton, or any other material. 

If you’re ready to start sleeping better – in whatever climate you hang your hat – I highly recommend ettitude. And to sweeten the deal (and make your transition to bamboo lyocell that much sweeter), use code PRIMARY75 at checkout to save $75 on your first order!
