I never think much about bedsheets. Seriously, who does? But when I learned that Oprah put Cozy Earth’s Bamboo Sheets on her “Favorite Things List” in 2018 and called them “the softest bedding ever,” I sat up and took notice. Over the course of the next four years, she named the brand’s bamboo pajamas, socks, towels and body butter Favorites too. Of course, the queen knows best, and I can always use a better night’s sleep, so I had to try the sheets. Personally, I’ve tried microfiber, jersey and high-thread-count Tencel sheets before, so I figured, how much softer could these Oprah-approved sheets be? Well, the answer is extremely, almost indescribably soft.

First impressions

The sheets come packaged in their own canvas tote bag. It’s not really necessary, but it’s a nice touch (especially around holiday-gifting time, ahem) and, of course, reusable. When I first took them out of the package, I immediately noticed how soft they were. Still, though, I was a little bit skeptical. I’ve purchased sheets in the past that felt soft at first but after a wash turned scratchy. Of course, I washed my Cozy Earth sheets before sleeping on them, and I’m happy to report that they felt just as soft as they did when I took them out of their tote.

However, one potential downside: I noticed that these sheets are a little thin. If you’re used to sleeping on percale cotton sheets or the like, that may give you pause.

Putting them to the test

Not to get all poetic about it, but slipping into bed with Cozy Earth’s sheets feels almost like jumping into a pool on a hot summer day. They’ll leave your skin feeling softer than after using a luxurious bath bomb, even softer than your favorite silky pajamas. Simply put, these sheets are luxurious. To say I’m obsessed is an understatement. I’ve told all of my friends and relatives to buy them.

I’ve had these sheets for two years. It’s worth noting that some other types of soft bedding I’ve owned, like jersey sheets, aren’t that durable. They fade, stretch and can even feel kind of hot. But not these. After countless go-rounds in the washer and dryer, they still look as good as new.

Beyond their softness, another thing I like about them is that they’re temperature regulating. According to the product description, the fabric is breathable and moisture-wicking, so you’ll sleep two to three degrees cooler and won’t wake up sweating in the middle of the night. I can attest to this, especially as someone who sleeps next to an old radiator in a small New York City apartment.

As for their thinness, it hasn’t been a problem for me. Especially under my thick duvet, I don’t even notice. I’m too focused on their luxe comfiness.

What others are saying

Cozy Earth’s Bamboo Sheets have over 6,100 reviews on its website, giving them a collective 4.9 out of 5 star rating. Just over 90% of reviewers say they’d recommend them.

“Best sheets ever,” wrote one impressed shopper. “These are some of the best sheets you will ever sleep on; I promise, they do not disappoint. I have several sets and they wash up amazing and feel like butter.”

“Love the sheets,” wrote another satisfied customer. “I have been [sleeping on these] sheets for a couple years and think they are the best. I love to crawl into bed and feel their softness on my body. I feel like I’m in a cloud. I sleep better when I’m using them.”

“The softest, most amazing sheets that I have ever owned!” explained another happy shopper. “The one downside… the bottom fitted sheet keeps slipping off of my mattress. I need to find a way to lock it down.”

A quick FYI about that: Yes, some reviewers mentioned that the fitted sheet isn’t deep enough to stay put on their mattress. According to the product description, they should fit well on both regular and deep pocket mattresses up to 20” thick. Our advice: Follow the care instructions and wash them with cold water and tumble dry on medium heat to prevent shrinking.

“Amazingly soft sheets, even after a year of washing!” added another enthusiastic reviewer. “They are also very cooling. The only downside is that the are very wrinkly even after the dryer.”

The final verdict

Yes, it sounds crazy to be this excited about sheets, but the hype is real. They really might be the softest sheets in the world.

If you decide to take the plung but decide for whatever reason that you don’t like them, Cozy Earth allows you to return them within 100 days for a full refund. However, they’re so confident you will like them and that they’ll last, the sheets come with a 10-year warranty.

Now, admittedly, Cozy Earth’s Bamboo Sheets are pricey — they typically start at $339 for the twin size. However, Cozy Earth is currently hosting a Holiday Sale, and you can save up to 35% across the entire site.

Again, who knew sheets could be this exciting? Not me! But now I’m hooked, and prepare yourself because after one great night’s sleep, you will be too.
