The only reason I docked a star at first was because I was sent the wrong size at first (I ordered a queen but received a full). The proper size earned the star back, as this is definitely a five star product.I’m very, very picky with bedding. I have really sensitive skin and am sensitive to various textures, I get quite warm in my sleep (though not as much lately, thanks to our new latex bed), and I have a connective tissue disorder that turns making the bed into a hazardous workout. Generally speaking, I’m into very soft materials. I can’t handle the scratchiness of percale or even some sateen, silk is too slick and easily stained, flannel is too warm, etc etc.Usually we just slap on a jersey fitted sheet for ease of use, despite stretchy or brushed-texture pillowcases pulling my hair and all the other things mentioned, but since we just got a new mattress setup, I wanted to do it justice with *good* sheets. I can assure you, the DOZ sheets are in fact as good as I hoped. In the last month, I’ve gotten two of these fitted sheets + three sets of pillowcases so we can still use them while they’re in the wash.I’ve tried bamboo sheets before (among many other materials), but they ended up being returned due to their high cost for extreme wrinkles and pillowcases so slippery that my head just slid right off. I kinda thought bamboo sheets = bamboo sheets, but I can assure you that not all bamboo sheets are created equal. I just repackaged a cheaper-but-still-nice one for return because these are so soft that, I kid you not, the other one felt rough by comparison.The sheet & pillowcases had a mild, clean vinegar smell out of the package. I always wash new sheets before sleeping on them, so I put them in the washer on delicate with unscented Molly’s Suds detergent and dried on delicate with some wool dryer balls. It washed and dried very well — drying time was pretty quick, and the lint trap isn’t stuffed. It came out a little wrinkly, but no big deal. I was mostly distracted by their sheer softness!!Once I realized they were the wrong size, I immediately ordered a new set — I could tell right out of the wash they were worth replacing rather than just abandoning the idea of them upon return. I’m so glad I did, they’re so comfortable.The pillowcases are everything I’ve been looking for in pillowcases; they don’t pull my hair, they’re not slippery on my head or against the bed, and the wrinkles are easy to smooth out.The Fog color is very pretty, but it’s much more of a gray shade than I anticipated (our bedding aesthetic is all beige & white). The Ivory is a much better match. The Fog, and I assume other colors, are touchy with staining, as bamboo fabric typically is — if I lie down after doing my skincare routine, it makes a face print that sticks around until I wash the sheets. However, lotion doesn’t show up on the Ivory color, so it appears cleaner longer.I was concerned about the pocket might not be deep enough for our 14.5” mattress, but the corners fit securely!These are also priced pretty fairly for what they are, I think, and again, not all bamboo is created equal, and the DOZ sheets are the best I’ve found.
