Review Week: Organic Jersey Sheet Set from Green Nest (+Giveaway)

I change my sheets fairly frequently. Sometimes it’s because I just want the bed to have a new look, but it’s also because I hate doing laundry for one set of sheets. So I’ll take one set off, put another set on, and then wash them all once I’ve built up a decent-sized load. The key for me now is building up a collection of bedding that is all organic as I replace my old, worn linens. The folks over at GreenNest.com sent me an Organic Jersey Sheet Set by Sage Creek Organics to try out, and I’m happy to have these comfy solids in my linen closet.

The sheet set comes in a reusable drawstring bag made of the same organic cotton, so it will be easy to keep all the pieces together when you’re ready to put them away. The first thing I noticed when I unfolded them is that they are ample in size. This is on purpose so they can fit on pillowtop mattresses easily. We don’t have a pillowtop mattress, so that meant lots of extra fabric around the edges of the fitted sheet. We did our best to tuck it under, but I was a little worried that they would shift a lot without straps. Thankfully, the fitted sheet remained in place throughout the night. In fact, we didn’t have to move it at all until we were ready to take them off.

The quality was great as well. The sheets were soft and supple and didn’t even wrinkle very much in the wash. That surprised me because our washer is pretty small and tends to make large sheets wrinkle like crazy. Because the fit was so large to begin with, it’s tough to say whether there was any real shrinkage, but they definitely still fit with lots of room after they were washed.

Overall, they provided a great comfortable night’s sleep, and I think the quality is worth the price. They are available in mandarin (orange), natural and tea green in twin, full, queen and king.

Why It’s Green:

• Made of 100% organic cotton
• Both Green Nest and Sage Creek Organics are a small companies that are built on sustainable practices. Sage Creek supports the World Wildlife Fund, IFAW and several other environmental organizations and only supports Fair Trade suppliers and producers.
