Hotel Sheets Direct Cooling Bamboo Viscose California King Sheets

Loved the sheets! Silky soft and as other reviewers have highlighted you feel like you’re sleeping on a cloud. I ordered my second set after a week of receiving the first. Don’t wait!

They are indeed cooling especially in the SG hot weather!

But the color is not what I was expecting. Ordered light gray and the actual color is a light taupe.

First I would like to state – in the picture, the light pink sheets are wrinkled from the packaging. The light pink color is a muted pink/lavender- similar to a light pink mauve. On the right, the light grey pillowcase is draped over the pillow – this pillowcase is part of the sheet set I washed! 🤣. I am picky and previously purchased high end 800 to 1000 thread count 100% cotton sheets.

I purchased a Tempur-pedic memory foam topper ( with the cooling gel) this past January. Summer heat had me waking up to a sweat in the morning. I have never done this before. I needed a better solution. I did get a second small fan in the room and then tried bamboo! ( For both a mattress topper cover, a thin blanket, and sheets. It worked- no more sweating!! Whew!) 🤗.

I tried four different bamboo sheet brands on Amazon- I think ranging from $40 -$75. These sheets are cool to touch and by far the softest and hands-down the silkiest- almost like satin. I can not over emphasize the cool to touch feeling that is sooo lovely in the summer! ( Another reviewer said her fur baby moved her comforter to touch these sheets- so cute and smart puppy, sure- because they are cooling!) 🤭😂. I thought these sheets were an appropriate weight or thickness.

After reading some other reviews I was worried about the the issue of washing and creasing. I washed in cold water ( don’t know if temp matters). Then I believe it is important to immediately and individually remove each sheet from machine and shake good to release the twisted fabric and creases. Put in dryer accordion style on (low temp- not sure it matters- will update review after I play with dryer temp). Removed immediately when done and my sheets were virtually wrinkle free! ( They will retain folding creases- but they release quickly once on the bed. After I sleep,I may occasionally have a pillowcase crease, but not a lot and it relaxes during the day- it is minimal and doesn’t bother me. To the same point, my summer duvet set is a linen or linen cotton blend ( bought on clearance sale at Arhaus) and also has some wrinkles.

To be clear, I do not work for this company, and I am serious – they were fabulous! So far I have purchased the light gray, light pink, sand and white. The colors are lovely. The light gray is a greige and it is fabulous coordinating color with multiple duvet sets. As another reviewer mentioned the white was slightly less soft than the colored sheets, (perhaps less processing ?) however they are still lovely. Now I want a nice vanilla ivory color- need more colors! As this other reviewer said, I agree I won’t buy another bamboo brand! :).

Update 9-18-2023: Dryer Temp Matters! Needs to be low temp- otherwise fabric substantially wrinkles – on med temp, wrinkles were deep and number of wrinkles was high! ( It was not attractive and would not be comfortable to sleep with- enormous difference!). Low temp is virtually wrinkle free if you follow my instructions above! 😉

Okay, so
Summary:
These are the softest most cooling sheets I’ve tried (and I’ve tried a lot!). If you suffer from hot flashes, you will love these! It feels like they draw the heat away from your body!
The downside is that they wrinkle horrendously. These sheets (pic) were fresh from my closet, FOLDED (not wadded up), and you can clearly see the wrinkles.

Story Time:
I first tried this brand (Hotel Sheets Direct) when I got a like-new duvet cover at the thrift store. It wasn’t even washed!
I fell in love with the material because it’s so cool to the touch and is just amazingly soft! Genuinely, I have never touched a softer material!
I have been wanting to purchase a set of the sheets, but due to (various things), I hadn’t gotten around to it.
This is my first set, now (pictured).
The quality is amazing! But I am disappointed by the severity of the wrinkles. Not enough to deduct a star, but I thought it was worth mentioning.

**** UPDATE 2/3/18 : before you read my novel of a review below..(and trust me it’s worth the quick skim through) let me say this… I am coming up on a year of these WONDERFUL HEAVNLY SHEETS (original purchase) and here is a list of facts below..: NOT FABRICATED
1. My first original set of sheets have held up wash after wash- I change my sheets twice a week (messy toddler who likes morning cartoons in mommy’s bed) so in a years time they still look white and look as good as new!
2. THEY HAVE ONLY GOTTEN SOFTER WASH AFTER WASH! I write this in bold because it’s the upmost importance in my book! Nothing is better then a soft, silk to the touch, kinda sheet… they DO NOT DISAPPOINT!
3. In a years time I have now purchased 15 sets of sheets from this company..all this brand! (Don’t judge) they tend to sell out and it took several months to restock so when they did- I stocked up!
4. I have now made 6 diff family members convert to these sheets! One in particular fell in Love a month before finding out she had stage 4 colon cancer and through the awful months of chemo she has endured and literally unable to get out of bed, her words “ THESE SHEETS HAVE BEEN A GODSEND”
5. (Important) I have purchased all 15 sets on my own, meaning no discounts or freebies (I wish) paid all with my husbands hard earned money lmfao! SO IF YOUR LEARY OF MY HONEST OPINION… IT MOST CERTAINLY CANT GET ANYMORE HONEST THEN THIS!!

I’m actually quite surprised and PLEASED these sheets are extremely silky soft, cool to the touch, not too thick but not too thin where they are see through. And lack the high quality feel.

The price doesn’t reflect the quality of the product. And I would like to consider myself a self proclaimed SHEET EXPERT. When u own roughly 40 some odd pairs of sheets, like myself, you start to get a pretty good idea on the quality of the sheets.

I have purchased another pair of bamboo sheets from amazon from linen spa and I would say those are my #1 sheets, they are alittle pricier, but these sheets (in my opinion) are pretty dang close to equals to my Linen Spa sheets.. and for much much less. I am actually on here to purchase a few more sets for my motor home. If that tells you anything.

Do yourself a favor.. buy them, pretty sure you won’t regret it.

** I will add this.. (and to me this isn’t a problem) but I know others might care.. right out of the package they are wrinkled. I could careless I only care about the comfort in my sheets not so much the appearance of them.. I mean when the bed is made.. who notices the sheets anyways? I have always noticed (in my experience) they may look wrinkled but when fitting them on your bed, they always seem to smooth out. I guess it’s all on the person. I care way way more about comfort and the quality of my sleep rather then the appearance of a crisp sheet on my bed..

SIDE NOTE: I hate to even add a picture of them wrinkled because I feel people will judge them unfairly, but since I am an avid reader of all reviews and I praise those who add pictures..
(because honestly, everyone is doing reviews via cell phone- and EVERY cell phone has a camera, how hard is it to provide a picture? That always gets me when I see 100+ reviews on an item and yet not one picture.. sorry rant over.. lol)

PS** I added a few photos of the color light pink sheets as I just purchased them and though the color (in my opinion) is more of a muted lavender… the quality is still MORE THAN up to my standard of the NUMEROUS ABUNDANCE of their sheets I do currently own! The quality has not changed any in the slightest! I stand by my words and my rating 110%.

I’ll try to add a pic of the colors I own if their sheets all sitting next to each other.: I have their grey, sand, light blue, several yellow, many many white, couple rose pink, and now light pink. ALL OF THEIR COLORS ARE HIGHLY ACCURATE TO THEIR PROVIDED IMAGES, except maybe the light pink, but I could just have a bad (color) batch.
