Why I'm obsessed with this 50% off silk pillowcase
New York Post may be compensated and/or receive an affiliate commission if you click or buy through our links. Featured pricing is subject to change. When the Blissy Silk Pillowcase fell into my lap, whispering promises of smoother hair, dewier skin, and the kind of sleep only poets write about, I gave it the side-eye. Was it just another fluke-fueled, gimmicky-adjacent cash grab? Or was this 22-momme mulberry marvel the real (silky) deal? Spoiler: I'm still sleeping on it. And I'm not mad, especially now that I can score another for 50% off at Amazon. Let's talk texture. Blissy's 100% pure mulberry silk feels exactly how you'd want luxury to feel: cool and fluid. I got the queen-size in the color white and instantly felt like someone who regularly exfoliated and always flossed. It looked crisp, minimal, and dangerously stainable. On night one, the difference was immediate. My usual cotton pillowcase had been sneakily sabotaging my hair, but with Blissy, I woke up with my blowout intact and my skin… well, less crumpled. Silk's low-friction surface actually helps reduce sleep lines and doesn't suck moisture from your face like cotton does. Who knew my skincare routine was fighting a nightly battle with my bedding? Normally, Blissy sits at a firm $80 for a single pillowcase, squarely in 'treat yourself' territory. But right now, it's over 50% off, which suddenly makes this luxe beauty buy feel a lot more like a savvy steal. Now, some online reviews do mention the occasional fraying seam or stubborn zipper after a few months, but mine has held up just fine. That said, don't throw this into the wash with your gym socks; it deserves a little TLC. Hand-washing is best, or at least a gentle cycle with a mesh bag. Handle it like it's the one thing standing between you and your next great hair day (because it probably is). Out of curiosity (and a slight flair for masochism), I ordered one of the cheaper Amazon 'silk' pillowcases for comparison. Let's just say there's silk… and then there's a mystery fiber trying desperately to pass. Blissy's silk feels dense, cool and sleek without being slippery or synthetic. You're not just paying for the material; you're paying for how it elevates your entire sleep game. So, is Blissy worth it? At full price, it's a yes. At half off? It's a no-brainer. Just know this isn't a pillowcase you wipe your mascara on — it's one you thank in the morning. Looking for a headline-worthy haul? Keep shopping Post Wanted.

I've slept on dozens of sheets in search of my forever pair. Cozy Earth's bamboo sheets are the one.
As a hot sleeper who loves snuggling in bed with velvety sheets, bamboo fabric is my best friend. I'm always preaching the gospel of the best bamboo sheets when people ask me for bedding recommendations. Imagine the feel of a cotton sateen sheet without all the sweating, a piece of bedding that's both soft AND breathable. Pure magic. Bamboo sheets are, undoubtedly, one of my favorite bedding materials especially when it comes to cooling sheets. Earlier this year, I reviewed the Quince Bamboo Sheet Set. I loved them, thinking that no bamboo sheets could possibly top their silky, cool-to-the-touch feel. But when I tried Cozy Earth's Bamboo Sheet Set, I was proven wrong. Cozy Earth specializes in premium bedding and is known for high-quality bamboo products like sheets, pajamas, and duvets. These sheets are literally the softest I've ever used, making crawling into bed at night one of the best parts of my day. Here's how Cozy Earth's sheets became my favorite of all time — the sheets I want on my bed forever. Design and materials Cozy Earth's bamboo sheets are crafted from viscose from bamboo — a material made from bamboo fibers. Bamboo is a naturally cooling and breathable material that's also incredibly soft. I recommend bamboo for hot sleepers who crave softness without trapping heat. Cozy Earth's sheets come in 11 soft, neutral colors like oat and dove gray in sizes ranging from twin/twin XL to California king, including a split king. I tried the Peony shade, a gorgeous soft pink. There aren't any bright colors or fun designs — a bit of a bummer if you love vibrant or patterned sheets like me — but this is probably attributed to the fact that Cozy Earth avoids using harsh dyes in its products. Recently, Cozy Earth added two new simple pinstripe sets to the collection — it's first prints. Cozy Earth sells its sheets in sets with a fitted and flat sheet and two pillowcases (one if buying a twin), with no option to buy pieces individually or sans flat sheet. They also offer the bamboo bedding in a duvet cover and sell bundles if you want to buy everything in one go. For instance, the core bundle includes a bamboo duvet cover and two extra pillowcases. The fitted sheet has a pocket depth of 20 inches and will fit on the deepest of mattresses. Even the top sheet is a little oversized to fully engulf your mattress. Our review of the Cozy Earth Bamboo Sheet Set Comfort and cooling Cozy Earth's bamboo sheets might literally be the most comfortable sheets I've ever tried — and I'm a tricky customer. I'm a hot sleeper, so I prioritize cooling and breathability above all else. At the same time, I also love the silky softness that usually comes with warmer sheets like cotton sateen or flannel. It's nearly impossible to find a set of sheets that do both, but somehow, Cozy Earth has done it. First of all, these sheets are, no exaggeration, the absolute softest sheets that I've ever used. Bamboo is known for its softness, but Cozy Earth's sheets go a step beyond, with an ultra-velvety feel. When I slip into bed between Cozy Earth's sheets, I feel the stress and worries of the day melt away. Even my boyfriend — who is sensitive to certain textures and picky about his bedding — attests that these sheets are fantastic. Before I started testing bedding, we used a fleece blanket instead of a top sheet, since we liked the softness against our skin. My boyfriend has been resistant to the top sheet change, but the bamboo top sheet is so soft we don't even think about the fleece blanket anymore (although I still understand and respect those who prefer not to use a top sheet). But they're not just soft: they're breathable and cooling, too. I tested these sheets in the peak of summer when Indiana was going through its humid cornsweat season, and it's like a fiery swamp outside. Despite these conditions, I slept easily each night. Even when testing specific cooling sheets, there's always been at least one night that I wake up in a sweat, but I'm happy to report that I never experienced this with Cozy Earth's sheets on my bed. At the same time, though, I was never too cold — I always felt perfectly comfortable with a regulated temperature. A perfect fit Cozy Earth's sheets also fit the bed well. I'm a restless sleeper, so I need a sheet that fits snugly on my mattress without slipping off at night. I'm impressed by Cozy Earth's bamboo sheets because they fit on my mattress, regardless of height. I've been testing mattress toppers, adding three to four inches to my already thick mattress, but these sheets can handle it, with 20-inch deep pockets. Made to last Beyond softness, where Cozy Earth sheets stand out is in their durability. I've washed this set four times, and despite a small loss of sheen, I've noticed no difference in the sheet's texture. There's no pilling, loose threads, or visible scratches. Plus, the sheets feel even softer after each wash. The durability is especially impressive, given that my dog likes to nest with his claws before he goes to sleep. Other sheets I've tried have given way to his nails, either snagging or ripping completely, but Cozy Earth's bamboo set has stayed strong. I'm looking forward to continuing to wash and use this set to observe it for signs of wear and tear. They still look as good as new after months, and if my predictions are correct, they'll hold up to years of use. Care The Cozy Earth bamboo sheets are simple to care for and follow standard wash instructions. I wash with detergent with cool or cold water on a gentle setting, then transfer them to the dryer to tumble dry on low. I recommend removing the sheets from the dryer right away, as they tend to wrinkle when left in the dryer for too long. Cozy Earth also suggests washing sheets separately, especially from towels to avoid lint. I was careful not to use fabric softeners or harsh chemicals like bleach, which can break down the bamboo fibers. For more tips on caring for bamboo sheets, I recommend checking out our how to wash sheets article. Value Cozy Earth bamboo sheets are expensive — a queen-size set will cost $297. They're extraordinarily comfortable and durable, but I think they're a tad overpriced, especially compared to competitors. Fortunately, Cozy Earth frequently runs promotions around holiday shopping events like Memorial Day or Black Friday, where I've noticed you can save as much as 35% off. Cozy Earth offers a 100-night trial and a 10-year warranty. If you decide they aren't for you within 100 nights, you can return them for a full refund. The sheets are protected from "pilling, abnormal rips and tears, and workmanship defects" within 10 years of the purchase date. If you use your warranty, you'll receive a replacement product. Cons to consider The main drawback? These sheets are expensive. Almost $300 for a queen-size set is nothing to sneeze at. Bamboo sheets are, in general, more expensive than cotton sheets, but Cozy Earth's bamboo set is one of the most expensive on the market. You're paying for quality and durability, so it's a worthwhile investment, but it's definitely not a small expense. Otherwise, we've noticed that the sheets lose their sheen after washing, something that Cozy Earth notes is normal for bamboo sheets. The sheets are on the thinner side, which helps with their airiness, but light colors are see-through. I can see my mattress and pillow logos through the fitted sheet and pillowcase. If that will bother you, I'd opt for a darker color like navy or charcoal. Mattress and pillow protectors can also help for a seamless, logo-free look. As you can see by the pictures, the sheets are also prone to wrinkling, even when cared for properly. It's difficult to get a crisp, clean, made bed look with the top sheet. What are your alternatives? The best overall pick in our best bamboo sheets guide is the Quince Bamboo Sheet Set. Like Cozy Earth's bamboo sheets, Quince's version is made with 100% viscose from bamboo for silky, cooling sheets. Quince's sheets aren't as durable as the Cozy Earth sheets — they're prone to pilling and loose threads.. I've tried both and ultimately prefer the feeling of the Cozy Earth sheets, since they're much thicker. Even so, Quince's bamboo sheet set is hundreds of dollars less than Cozy Earth's set, so they're much more affordable. Read our Quince Bamboo Sheet Set review. For affordable bamboo sheets, I recommend the Bampure Bamboo Sheet Set. The fitted sheet has an additional corner strap elastic band, so you won't have to worry about your top sheet slipping off the bed. For more recommendations, read our best bamboo sheets and best sheets guides. The bottom line The Cozy Earth Bamboo Sheet Set is one of the best investments you can make for your bed. The set is a splurge, but it's impressively durable, with a generous trial and warranty policy. If you're on the hunt for the softest set of breathable sheets and you're willing to spend a little extra, I wholly recommend Cozy Earth's bamboo sheets.
