But if youre thinking that eucalyptus sheets are made up of twigs and leaves, think again.
Those fibers are then used to make soft, cool-to-the-touch sheets.
For hot sleepers, theyre an excellent choice.

In addition to Gopinath and Young, we also consultedLance Thomas, principal at Thomas Guy Interiors.

There arent any tags on the fitted sheet to differentiate the top from the bottom.

The set is only available in three sizes.
The sheets felt silky and soft, and there were no loose threads or visible snags.

While there was some shrinkage after washing, the sheets still felt nice and soft.
The best part was that there were very few wrinkles, giving our bed a polished look.
The sheets proved to be soft and comfortable and we felt the cooling benefits while using them.
During testing, we never woke up sweaty.

Those with thick mattresses will appreciate this set as well.

We found the Dreamcare Eucalyptus Sheets to be very soft and somewhat silky.
Though thetop sheetfelt a bit heavy, we didnt feel hot when under these sheets.
If you have an extra-thick queen mattress, these will stretch over without a problem.
The pillows have an envelope closure for a seamless look when the bed is all made up.
These sheets are buttery soft and feel high-quality.
There was no shrinkage after a wash, which bodes well for these sheets over time.
The set also comes with a tote bag made from the same material.
Can you sleep without either of these features?
Of course, but it makes this Dreamcare set a standout candidate for our list.

The thicker fabric may be an adjustment for some.
Thankfully, though, in addition to being visually appealing theyre also comfortable to sleep on.

The fitted sheet is generously sized, and it was easy to make the bed.
We washed the set twice during the testing period.
At the end of testing, the fabric still looked brand new with no visual wear or tear.
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.
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.
How much can I expect to spend on eucalyptus sheets?
In general, most sets will be around $100, more or less, for a queen size.
Is Tencel the same as eucalyptus?
