I’m floating somewhere between quarter-life and midlife, and recently realized no age milestone is necessary for a top-to-bottom bedding upgrade. It was a manic flurry of grabbing up all the Internet’s favorite sheets and giving my body over to them.
I tried Boll & Branch’s 100% organic cotton offerings and Cozy Earth’s 100% premium bamboo viscose goods, and it immediately became clear which bedding was the bringer of peace.
Here’s how it unfolded:
For Blissfully Soft, Breathable Sheets…Cozy Earth
Have you ever tried bamboo viscose sheets? Friends, I was not prepared. The softness is the closest thing to a cloud I’ve experienced. And Cozy Earth makes their bedding from the highest quality bamboo viscose out there, with responsible dyeing practices that are free from harmful chemicals.
They’re comfy without being sweaty, and they’re luxurious while boasting naturally antibacterial and antifungal properties.
Boll & Branch has a larger selection, with various cotton weaves and brushes on offer. I tried their cotton percale sheets because I’d heard percale is more breathable than other cottons, but when I tucked into bed, I felt like I was wrapping myself in a dress shirt.
How is that a thing? Breathability is moot when comfort is missing.
For Bedding That’s Temperature-Regulating…Cozy Earth
I’ve established that breathable sheets are a priority for me, and as someone who runs hot at night it’s the least my sheets can do for me. Cozy Earth’s entire line of offerings wicks moisture while you snooze away, and they stay fresher for longer.
Cotton sheets, whether you go the route of vintage-washed, seersucker cotton, or crisp percale, lack temperature control (read: they’re suffocating in the summer) and can hold bacteria if you don’t stay on a strict washing schedule.
For Patterned Sheets…Boll & Branch
One of my goals in my bedding overhaul was to wizard the world’s most soothing place to unwind. Cozy Earth has over a dozen colors to choose from, and there are plenty of options to arrange the vibe that’s right for you, but a theme is that they’re generally muted and earthy.
If you want patterned sheets, Boll & Branch offers a few florals. Personally I feel sheet designs make my room feel too busy but to each their own.
For the More Ethical Option…Cozy Earth
I’m glad to report both brands are making strides toward sustainability. Boll & Branch has a fair trade product, a transparent supply chain, and GOTS certified organic cotton fibers.
Cozy Earth meets that standard, then exceeds it, by building relationships with every step of the supply chain: the farmers, the fiber producers, the yarn makers and weavers, treatment facilities, bag makers, label makers, and more.
Cozy Earth’s ethical manufacturing practices are undeniable. And their responsibly sourced materials root from a fiber process that recycles water, avoids harmful chemicals, and keeps waste from releasing to the environment. It’s a responsible process all the way down.
For Cost Considerations… They’re Comparable, but Cozy Earth
Quality bedding is always going to be an investment. Comparing price tags between these two brands, Boll & Branch has a handful of lower cost options—their sheet sets range from $229-$729, whereas Cozy Earth sheet sets are $339 across the board. But, it’s a bit of an apples-to-oranges comparison.
In addition to the benefits, sustainability, and longevity of bamboo viscose, all Cozy Earth bedding comes warrantied against pilling, abnormal rips and tears, and any rare workmanship defects.
They promise no pilling, as well as no dividing or shifting of pillow fill and comforter cushion. On the off-chance these things happen, they’ll replace your product immediately.
Plus, Cozy Earth sheet sets are currently 20% off, putting them at $271.20. RUN toward this deal!
My Whole Being Loves Snuggling into Cozy Earth Bedding
I knew I needed a bedding upgrade, but I didn’t anticipate just how leveled-up Cozy Earth could take me. Their responsibly sourced, high-quality bamboo viscose is the stuff of dreams…and also the impressive description of the sheets I now tuck into nightly. Their comforters, duvets, quilts, and blankets are just as blissful. I’m the coziest I’ve ever been.
