I had a set from Cozy Earth that were so soft and not at all wrinkly but they fell apart after a year. I was just shopping for a new set and they are expensive. The company Quince makes a similar set at 1/3 of the price, but I am worried their quality is 1/3 that of Cozy Earth, which didn't even hold up all that well. Has anyone had experience with them?

Are bamboo sheets eco-friendly?
Bamboo itself as a crop is highly regarded for its ability to grow quickly with minimal water and no fertilizers. Turning bamboo into a textile, however, does affect its environmental benefits as many manufacturing processes require chemicals or lots of water to turn it into its final soft and silky fabric. Bamboo Lyocell is typically considered more eco-friendly, over rayon or viscose. The FTC flags that while bamboo fabric is marketed as eco-friendly, that might not always be the case, and it depends on how the bamboo is processed and sourced.
Bamboo sheets require some care to maintain their quality. First, always check the care instructions provided by the manufacturer, as different brands may have specific recommendations. In general, bamboo sheets can be machine-washed in cool water on a gentle/delicate cycle using a mild detergent. Then, tumble dry on a low or gentle cycle, and remove the sheets promptly to prevent wrinkles. Avoid using hot water or high heat, as this can damage the fibers. You can also line-dry your sheets, which can help preserve the fabric and maintain its quality over time. For more information on caring for bamboo sheets, we cover how to wash sheets.
Are bamboo sheets cooling?
Bamboo sheets are often praised for their cooling properties. Bamboo fibers are naturally breathable, allowing air to circulate and heat to dissipate. This helps in maintaining a more comfortable temperature while sleeping. Bamboo also has moisture-wicking properties. This can be particularly beneficial for those who tend to sweat during the night.
What is a good thread count for bamboo sheets?
Thread count has become more complicated because sheets can be woven or knit, and thread count is only useful for gauging the quality of woven sheets. If you're looking at woven sheets, a good thread count is 200 to 400. All of the sheets on our list range from 225 to 400 thread count.
Young said that for knit sheets, you'll want to look at weight, which is expressed in either GSM or ounces per square yard. For bamboo sheets, a higher weight or GSM is generally better.
I recently bought cozy earth pjs and I am in heaven. Anytime I search Reddit I just see a bunch of negative reviews but I like the bamboo so I am wanting to buy sheets. My rich bosses has cozy earth sheets but I’m wondering if it’s worth the price difference to get quince ones? Or are they not as good quality? Thanks everyone :)
(It’s a big purchase for me I’ve been eyeballing for months)
So I'm pretty set on tencel or bamboo as bedding material for their slick and cool feeling that also doesn't cling to cat hair. I've enjoyed the ones I've had from West Elm and my family member's Ettitude sheets. Unfortunately, they do not have the option to purchase a fitted and flat sheet separately.
Cozy Earth is on the higher end of my budget. I wouldn't mind paying the extra $$ for them if the quality was really that good. Their 10 year warranty also seems to be a good selling point. Can anyone vouch for them?
Other brands I've considered are:
Sijo: seeing mixed reviews about them. They do let you buy a fitted and flat sheet separately.
Quince: seeing mostly positive reviews about their bamboo. May consider purchasing just for the price ($119 for a king set) even though you can't buy a la carte
Aeptom: have a duvet that I like from them. Still TBD on if I can purchase a la carte.
If there are any other options, I'd appreciate the pointers!
Looks like Quince compares them to Cozy Earth and Ettitude. Has anyone tried these and have any feedback? Or any other Quince sheets?
I’m in the market for new bedding and am lost. I’ve read a million blogs and have gone through the reviews on each site (both good and bad) and still don’t feel like I’m further along in my decision making process. I’m leaning towards Quince but based on price alone. I’m looking for super soft and temperature regulating (my boyfriend and I sleep warm) while also being cozy. Has anyone tried any of these brands, what did you think?
UPDATE 1: we’ve tried out boll & branch signature and cozy earth so far. We tried each set twice and washed each set twice. We prefer cozy earth to boll & branch and so will be returning boll & branch. They are both very lovely but we ultimately liked the feel of cozy earth better. I commented below from my anonymous alias on accident so will repost here: boll & branch signature sheets were more of a “powdery” soft as opposed to cozy earth which is more “silky” soft. Both were good at temperature regulating but cozy earth seems to be a bit better. We will try quince bamboo linen next. Stay tuned.
looking for some bamboo sheets and stuck between luxome or quince bamboo sheets. Anybody know if they are soft and how they feel and hold up compared to cheaper brands on amazon.
