These Cooling Sheets Are Organic, (Somehow) Super Soft, and Finally on Sale
Before one of our editors — a pro bedding tester — Sarah got her hands on Coyuchi’s Organic Relaxed Sateen Sheet Set, she wasn’t sold on organic sheets… yet. Because they’re not treated with chemical softeners and are usually made with natural materials that have more texture, organic sheets have a historically bad rep when it comes to comfort. Even after trying all sorts of organic bedding, from cotton percale to linen from brands both big and small, Sarah just couldn’t get there. “I haven’t had the best luck with organic sheets, so I’d be lying if I said I didn’t go into this testing hesitant,” she explains. “However… these sheets were an ABSOLUTE dream.”
Coyuchi’s Relaxed Organic Sateen sheets have all the features you’d expect from modern organic bedding (and all of Coyuchi’s eco-conscious products). They’re woven from GOTS- and Fair Trade-certified cotton that’s 100 percent organic. But what Sarah found really sets these sheets apart is the cooling, crisp, and ultra-smooth sateen feel — a rare finish when it comes to organic sheets. Non-organic sateen sheets are woven with mercerized threads, which means they’re soaked in lye and acid to essentially laminate them and create a supremely smooth sateen finish. So… definitely not organic.
In an effort to close the loop on textile creation by recycling organic fibers, Coyuchi leaves the long-strand cotton untreated and allows the weave to do its work, which gives these beauties a silky side and a slightly matte side. As Sarah describes, they’re “soft to the touch and able to keep me cool all night long,” noting that staying cool in cozy bedding can be quite the feat for her, “I felt luxurious (like Rihanna luxurious) with these sheets on my bed.”
Not only did this Coyuchi find win the title of Best Luxurious on our list of the Best Organic Sheets as our best luxurious pick, but it happens to be on sale right now! Coyuchi’s Sunnier Days event is offering 20 percent off nearly everything sitewide. Take it from Sarah, who recommends, “If you’re looking to spoil yourself, do it with these sheets.” Sweet dreams, and Happy Spring!
