First impression? These sheets felt a bit stiff out of the package, but after the first wash (cold water, air-dried like some reviewers suggested), they transformed into this perfect balance of crisp and soft—like my favorite worn-in button-down shirt.

As someone who sleeps hot, the breathability is a game-changer. The Tencel-cotton blend wicks moisture without that weird synthetic feel of microfiber. Woke up without that sticky, sweaty feeling—even during a summer heatwave.

The deep pockets actually FIT my 14" mattress (unlike my last set that kept popping off). Love the labeled sides—no more midnight sheet-orientation puzzles! Though I did notice slight sliding on my memory foam topper.

They’re thinner than expected—not flimsy, but lightweight like high-end hotel sheets. The Windward Blue color is richer in person, and the percale weave gives that ‘freshly made bed’ sound when you move. Pro tip: Skip the dryer if you hate wrinkles.

After three months, they’ve gotten softer with each wash. Not quite as silky as 100% Tencel, but my partner (who hates slippery sheets) approves. Worth the splurge for the cooling factor alone.
