One thing I don’t compromise on: sleep.

Whether it’s my nighttime ritual (in bed and journaling by 10pm, except for weekends), what I sleep on (Egyptian cotton has always been my go-to), or the conditions in which I sleep (freezing cold in the room, but bundled in cozy blankets) – I know what I like.

But recently, I moved to a much warmer climate. Instead of waking up refreshed like usual, I’ve been waking up in a puddle of sweat and undreamt dreams. Not cute! My friend introduced me to Ettitude’s Sateen+ Sheet Set, a $499 investment in sleeping well. Here’s what happened when I tried them.

What’s In These Fancy Sheets?

All of ettitude’s linens are made with CleanBamboo®, a lyocell with organic bamboo and food-grade solvent that makes them stand out in a sea of pesticide-laden cotton and toxic bamboo viscose. They’re also Class I Baby Safe, so you can literally sleep like a baby.

In particular, the Sateen+ sheets caught my eye – and not just because of their gorgeous colorways. The particular weave of the fabric gives it the feel of silk and the comfort of cotton. Smooth, lustrous, and woven in Peru, these sheets are hypoallergenic, breathable, and temperature-regulating. They’re also antimicrobial, anti-odor, and antifungal. That’s a lot of benefits packed into one set of bedding! 

My favorite part, though? Despite the luxurious feel and price tag, these babies are still machine washable and tumble dry at low heats, making them superbly easy to take care of. Just reading through all this, ettitude won my heart. But would their sheets deliver on all these promises?

The Way Sleep Should Be

As soon as these sheets – in sassy "Brass" and calming “Quartz” – arrived on my doorstep, I knew they would be superior to any other sheets I’ve tried (Cozy Earth, anyone?). Even though they sat outside in the hot sun for a bit, I opened up the box and found them cool to the touch.

At first, I was a bit concerned that they were wrinkly. How could something that costs $499 do that? But with a couple tries, I learned the secret is removing them from the dryer immediately and giving them a good shake, and that line drying is even better if you have the time.

From the very first night, sleeping on these Sateen+ sheets has felt truly luxe – like a stay at my favorite posh hotel. They’re silky, lightweight, breathable, and cooling. Even with a comforter, I wake up refreshed and sweat-free. I’ve been getting the best sleep of my life, so much so that I’m ready to gate-keep these from my boyfriend and his furnace-like internal temperature.

I now completely understand why this company has thousands of five-star reviews!

At this point, I’m using any excuse to be in bed. Naps, sleeping in, working from home, taking chic “I just woke up” selfies – they’re all fair game.
