An Honest Review of Cozy Earth Bamboo Sheets, from a Cotton Sheets Devotee (+ a 35% Off Code!)

It’s kind of hard to not be curious about Cozy Earth bamboo sheets. Kris Kardashian is their spokeswoman, and the company’s sheets and towels regularly make Oprah’s Favorite Things list. It’s like they pretty much have to be good, right? But, as curious as I was about the sheets, I was also kind of convinced that they wouldn’t be for me.

The reason is because I have always preferred cotton sheets, particularly the crisp percale kind (I’ve always liked Target’s version, TBH!) I actually tried a bunch of different types of bedding for one of my old jobs as an editor, from ‘performance’ cooling sheets, to t-shirt sheets and cotton-blend sheets and I’ve always liked old-fashioned cotton percale the best. I’m very particular, and as weird as this sounds, I don’t like sheets that feel too ‘slippery,’ and bamboo sheets just seemed like they’d be a little slick for my liking.

But, earlier this year, I branched out and tried a slightly different type of cotton sheet than I was used to, a sateen sheet that had awesome reviews on Amazon, despite my fears that they, too, would be overly slippery. It’s a real phobia, I’ll tell ya. TLDR, I loved the sateen sheets, even more than my percale ones, and it made me think that my perfect sheet might actually sit at a happy medium between a crisp sheet and something a little softer.

Enter: Cozy Earth sheets. I got offered a pair to review for my blog, and I decided to give them a shot, mostly to quell my curiosity about Oprah’s favorite sheets. When I got them, I took them out of the package and immediately thought “too slick.” They are very soft, and cool to the touch, but they almost felt a little like a polyester sheet to me while they were fresh from the package and still folded up. I was skeptical.

I put them in the wash, and when they came out they were definitely softer, but I was still not convinced, so I folded them up and put them in my linen closet, where they sat for weeks. I didn’t even want to risk putting them on and getting in bed and hating them.

They finally made it onto my bed without my knowledge, when our cleaners came and changed the sheets, and just happened to pull out the Cozy Earth pair. My husband got in bed that night and immediately goes “Yes! The good sheets,” which he usually says when the sateen sheets make it into the rotation.

All of this is a long winded lead up to the fact that, when I got in bed, I realized that they were not, in fact, the sateen sheets, which have an embroidered stripe detail at the top, but the Cozy Earth sheets. And they were delightful. Soft like a sateen sheet, but more lightweight, and totally without that plasticky or heavy feeling that polyester sheets have, and I was worried that bamboo sheets would have as well.

Needless to say, I shouldn’t have questioned Oprah.

What Are Cozy Earth Sheets?

Cozy Earth’s cult-favorite sheet set is made from 100% bamboo viscose in a sateen weave, which is part of why they land in that soft-but-not-slippery zone I was worried about. The fabric is OEKO-TEX certified, meaning it’s been independently tested and verified free of harmful chemicals, so it’s a thoughtful pick if you’re sensitive to what’s against your skin all night (or you’te shopping for a kid’s room).

Each set includes 1 flat sheet, 1 fitted sheet, and 2 pillowcases (1 if you’re going with twin). There are 12 standard colorways to choose from (mostly neutrals with some soft sage, pale blue and blush pink options mixed in), plus a rotating lineup of limited-edition colors and stripes if you want something a little less basic than the white pair I tested.

On sizing: the fitted sheet has strong 360-degree elastic and is built to fit both regular and deep pocket mattresses up to 20″, so pillow-top or thick mattress owners shouldn’t have to worry about the fitted sheet popping off at 3am. We have a Birch mattress and a pillow-top mattress topper, so that’s important to me and I haven’t has any issues. Sizes run Twin through California King, plus Split King if you and your partner sleep on different setups.

Cozy Earth Bamboo Sheets: What I Like

After sleeping on them for a few nights, I also came to love how cool they feel (actually, I think that’s my favorite part about them). I’m a hot sleeper, and these are honestly the coolest sheets I’ve ever slept on. Far better than ‘cooling’ polyester sheets I reviewed for work in the past. Stay far away from those.

In the last few months, these have officially become my favorite sheets, especially now that it’s summer.

From a more practical standpoint, also love that they’re made from bamboo, which is more sustainable than cotton, since it grows faster and uses less water.

The last thing I really love is how lightweight they are. They feel thin, but in an airy, breathable way, not a cheap way.

Cozy Earth Bamboo Sheets: What I Don’t Love

That doesn’t mean these sheets are perfect, though. My one complaint is that they wrinkle like crazy, which you can see in my photos above. If you take them out of the dryer right away and fold them neatly, they don’t look too bad. But. if the flat sheet ends up scrunched up between my husband and I or at the bottom of the bed, it looks worse than a linen suit on a humid day.

I don’t mind much if my sheets are wrinkled, since no one is usually in my bedroom aside from my husband and kids, but if you prefer a sheet that maintains a crisp look (something percale does well), the wrinkles might make you nuts. I think they’re worth it for the feel of the sheets, but neat freaks, beware.

The only other drawback to Cozy Earth sheets is the price, which rings in at $375 for a king-size pair, and is admittedly pretty steep for a single set of sheets. That said, I would never buy them full price, since you can almost always find the sheets on sale, or an influencer code for anywhere from 20-40% off. (My code KAITLINMADDEN is good for 35% off!). The code makes them far more reasonable.

If the price still has you on the fence, know that Cozy Earth backs these with a 10-year warranty against pilling, rips, and workmanship defects, plus a 100-night sleep trial. So if you buy them and hate them, or your husband doesn’t declare them “the good sheets.” you have some time to send them back.

Overall, I can confirm that Oprah and Kris Jenner have good taste, because these sheets have become my new favorite (they probably have people to iron theirs, though).
