They have a stretchy, tee-shirt-like texture that makes them oh-so comfortable but slightly less durable.
And if youre a hot sleeper, dont count these uber soft sheets out.

with moisture-wicking properties so you’re free to stay comfortable and sweat-free through the night.
These sheets are made from organic cotton and have that light-as-a-feather finish that makes jersey so desirable.
Plus, you could expect them to feel just as well-worn and soft as a cotton t-shirt.

We have no doubt this jersey set is just as high-quality.
The 16-inch deep pockets on the full and queen sizes should offer plenty of room for most mattresses.
We also love the variety of grays and blues that these sheets are available in.

This set is also made from a blend of cotton and modal.
Modal is soft and breathable, just like cotton, but its made from tree pulp.
This organic set feels like a broken-in t-shirt and features pill-resistant fibers designed to extend the fabric’s lifespan.

The knitting of the materials is also what gives it that “favorite old T-shirt” feel.
Theres alsono shortage of blendsthough, such as cotton and modal or cotton and bamboo.

Jersey sheets andcomforter sets, are not necessarily great for hot sleepers.
Knit fabric traps air, unlike loose weaves such as percale.
As we mentioned, these synthetic fabrics promote moisture wicking.
What’s the Difference Between Jersey and Flannel?
It’s always best to wash your sheets in cold water to ensure the fiber’s durability over time.
Additionally, avoid high-heat controls when it’s time to dry your jersey sheets.
This will help lessen the amount of pills that form on the surface of your sheets.
