My Mom Is Super Picky About Sheets, But This “Soft And Cozy” Set Is Hands-Down Her Favorite (It’s on Sale!)
When I was a kid, I hated shopping for bedding with my mom. She never explicitly told me we would be looking at bedding; she would just ask if I wanted to accompany her to Kohl’s or Marshalls or Bed Bath & Beyond, and I’d tag along. Inevitably, I’d find her in the sheets section of the store, trying to decide between colors and thread counts (a process that always lasted at least half an hour). She let me pick my own sheets for my bedroom, although she would ultimately criticize my choice, especially if they were made from a synthetic material.
All of this is to say that I have never met a more discerning shopper than my mother when it comes to buying bed sheets. The good thing about this is that I fully trust her judgement on bedding, so when she told me about how much she loves The Citizenry’s Organic Resort Cotton Sheets, I knew they were the real deal. Plus, they’re currently on sale!
What Is the Organic Resort Cotton Sheet Set?
In September, my mom called me asking if I’d be able to get some new sheets sent to her house. I browsed for options online, knowing she exclusively likes cotton. I came across the Organic Resort Cotton Sheets, and after confirming with her that they looked good, I had a set sent to her.
What appealed to me about these sheets is that they’re made of organic long-staple Turkish cotton, which is known for its softness and durability, especially when compared to other types of cotton fibers. The sheet set is also Oeko-Tex and GOTS-certified, meaning it was sustainably made in a fair trade working environment and also that its material is free of harmful substances. What’s more, the sheets have a 400 thread count, and one set gets you all of the standard pieces (namely, a flat sheet, fitted sheet, and two pillowcases). You can snag each of the five colorways on sale in either a full, queen, or king size.
Why You’ll Love the Organic Resort Cotton Sheet Set
Based on my mom’s feedback, I’d characterize these sheets as a perfect all-season option for virtually every kind of sleeper. In the past, my parents tested Brooklinen’s Organic Cotton Core Sheet Set, which is made with warmer temperatures in mind. “Compared to those sheets, which are very lightweight and crisp, the sheets from The Citizenry have more of a medium weight,” my mom says. “These are also soft and crisp at the same time, and they’ve gotten softer with each wash.” She also noted that the Organic Resort Cotton Sheets have a slight sheen, but they’re not slippery the way satin sheets tend to be. Plus, they’re breathable and wick away moisture, which is important for my parents because my dad is a hot sleeper.
Normally retailing for $249, a queen size set is currently selling for a whopping $100 off, so there’s no better time to snag your own set. No matter what kind of sleeper you are or for which season you need new sheets, there’s no need to look elsewhere. Trust me on this — this set is mom-approved, after all.
