For years, sheets have been a point of contention in my household. My partner is a very hot sleeper while, I, on the other hand, am cold at all times. As one can expect, this has led to many arguments over bedding. My love for all things cozy just doesn’t mesh with his desire to not wake up in a puddle of sweat. Thus, we needed to find a happy medium. As someone who spends their workdays sifting through products and reading reviews, it’s kind of surprising (and maybe a bit embarrassing) that I hadn’t found a set sooner, but I digress.
Just before Labour Day, I found myself scrolling through sales for a post that I was working on and remembered that I had saved to one of my tabs. If you’re not familiar, this Canadian brand specializes in high-quality, thoughtfully-made bedding. It’s not necessarily budget-friendly, but it definitely won’t run you as much as some luxury sites. I’d call it a happy medium in that department. If you catch a sale (like the ), it’s basically a steal. They have three fabric options for bed sheet sets: flax linen (smooth and breathable), Egyptian cotton (luxuriously soft), and percale (crisp and cool).
Now, I am usually partial to linen, but my partner says it’s scratchy (it’s not). In the name of compromise, we agreed on the percale set. The sheets are sustainably made in small batches in Portugal, using percale cotton and organic dyes. This not only justifies the slightly higher price tag, but the manufacturing transparency is a standard I believe most companies should be living up to. I’m also here for the high-quality fabrics and non-toxic dyes. I frequently stress about what I’m putting in my body, oftentimes forgetting that what I’m sleeping on and surrounding myself with at home matters just as much.
I must admit, dear reader, that I feared the “crisp and cool” claims about percale, as I am forever a frosty human, but I am happy to report that they do not leave me freezing — they’re actually quite lovely. They have that crisp hotel sheet feel while being breathable and soft against the skin. I truly do feel like I’m sliding into a 5-star sleeping situation every night. My tired, worn-out sheets could never.
Now, I don’t want to make too many raving claims about this set of bed sheets, but there’s one last thing I want to note. I usually sleep terribly and wake up frequently in the night. But in the last week or so, I have slept comfortably until my alarm goes off. I don’t want to attribute it 100% to the sheets (that would be some serious witchcraft), but I truly think they are playing a role in my snoozing through the night.
Now stay tuned as I hunt down the perfect duvet and duvet cover.
