The fitted sheet is generously sized, and it was easy to make the bed.

We washed the set twice during the testing period.

Despite the materials thickness, though, they still manage to keep you cool on hot nights.

Like many high-end sheet sets, a top sheet does cost extra.

They also come in seven colors and held up incredibly well after washing.

During testing, each products label was covered so we wouldnt know the brand or price of the item.

We used a set methodology to evaluate each sheet set in five categories.

During testing, we looked for loose and uneven stitching as well as color consistency.

We came up with our final rating by averaging each sheet sets scores across the categories.

And you might be confused as to whether any of it has eucalyptus.

Gopinath explains that there are two distinct categories of fibers: natural and synthetic.

Between these two categories, however, is something called manufactured fibers.

The variety in names really has to do with marketing of the items, Gopinath says.

Tencel is a trademark for lyocell, and lyocell is the generic fiber, Young explains.

It is eucalyptus, its not a rebranding.

But some retailers offer additional sizing, such as twin XL or king XL.

Pocket Size

Pocket size is used to determine the size of the mattress your sheets can fit.

The thicker the mattress, the deeper pocket you’ll need.

Thats why youll seeand its a good thing if you dosheet sets that are OEKO-TEX certified, for example.

[Certification means] its gone through all the protocols, Gopinath says.

Its eco-friendly, especially in the use of dyes.

Some certifications that you might spot on other types of sheets wont make sense for eucalyptus, though.

Its not in its original form.

So while comfortable, they arent the most durable eucalyptus sheets for heavy use or for pet owners.

The fabric also became dull and pilled post-wash, and seemed prone to wrinkling and difficult to manage.

There werent any imperfections before we washed the set, and the initial texture was silky and lightweight.

They also didnt fare well in our durability test, and they didnt appear to be highly stain-resistant either.

They retained their high-quality, crisp texture even after a month of testing at home.

No worries if you have an extra-thick mattress; these will fit up to 20-inch mattress widths.

Thomas is a fan of eucalyptus sheets for hot climates.

Thread count comes with a price.

Brielle Home Tencel Lyocell Sateen Sheet Set

And I would stick to a thread count that you feel comfortable investing in.

Eucalyptus sheets can also be better for the environment than some other varieties due to the way theyre manufactured.

As a result, its the greenest fiber and a really good choice.
