I’ve Tested Dozens of Sheets, and These Buttery Soft Cooling Sheets Are the Best Ever (They’re on Sale!)

In my time as a shopping editor here at Apartment Therapy, I’ve tested a lot of cooling sheets. In fact, on the team, I’m one of the first people they turn to when they need info on cooling sheets (and cooling bedding in general). And while I’ve tested dozens of sheets at this point — finding some favorites along the way — I’m always looking for the next great find. 

Recently, I put Bedgear’s M3 Performance Mattress to the test, a customizable and cooling pick that shocked me with its innovative design and advanced cooling power. Being that this mattress threw me for a loop (I haven’t been that floored by a mattress in a while), I decided to take a look at the brand’s bedding, too. And wouldn’t you know, they’re also home to a pretty stellar set of cooling sheets. I’m talking about Bedgear’s Dri-Tec Sheet Set, and they may just be the softest cooling sheets I’ve ever tested. 

So what makes Bedgear’s Dri-Tec sheets different from other sheets I’ve tested? I can sum it up in two words: the feel. Designed to feel as soft as your favorite activewear, these sheets have a unique stretchy construction that not only makes them baby soft but also capable of keeping you cool all night long. Each set is knitted for enhanced breathability and airflow as well as engineered to absorb sweat away from the skin, dispersing it evenly throughout the fabric for quick evaporation and a more comfortable sleep. Best of all, they also feature a Powerband edge that grips onto your mattress for a super secure fit, meaning you’ll never have to worry about your sheets slipping again. 

I’ll get right to the point here: I’ve never felt a fabric like this before. However, I would agree with the brand’s claims that it feels similar to a soft activewear; If I had to classify it,  I’d say it’s a happy medium between the softest activewear around and a supersoft (and stretchy) jersey material. And boy, was I excited to try them out. 

As I slipped under the sheets that night, I couldn’t help but let out a satisfied giggle because these sheets felt like absolute butter against my skin. However, I’ll be honest — I was concerned about their cooling power at first as I’ve been exclusively using bamboo sheets for years now. However, after a few minutes under the sheets I knew I had nothing to be worried about. I put these to the test at my parents home in Florida, and let me tell you, that was some of the coolest sleep I’ve ever gotten in their balmy home. In fact, I let them try the sheets, too, and my dad had what is probably the funniest reaction I’ve ever seen to cooling sheets: “Ooooh, these are going to save us so much money on the electric bill.” Enough said.    

Available in 10 chic colors, these sheets normally come in at $249.99 for a queen set, but you can currently pick up a pair of Bedgear’s Dri-Tec sheets for $199.99 while they’re on sale. Now, I’m not blind to the fact that these sheets are not cheap. However, if you’re looking to invest in the best of the best (and save some money on your electric bill while you’re at it), you won’t find anything better than these sheets. Afterall, the greatest night’s sleep is worth the investment, no?
