Cotton & Care Sheets Review
Cotton and Care: A Journey into Quality Bedding
In a marketplace filled with various bedding brands, Cotton and Care stands out as a recent entrant, dedicated to offering high-quality sheets made in the USA. While the brand is no longer in operation as of January 2020, its legacy of providing luxurious Supima cotton sheets left an impact worth discussing. I recently received a complimentary king-size sheet set for review, and I was eager to dive into its features and benefits.
Understanding Supima Cotton
Before we delve deeper into the specifics of Cotton and Care sheets, it’s essential to understand what Supima cotton is. Supima cotton is an extra-long staple cotton, exclusively grown in the United States. This premium quality cotton is renowned for its strength and durability, which make it more resistant to tearing and pulling compared to regular cotton.
The standard fiber length of conventional cotton is approximately one inch, whereas Supima cotton averages around 1.4 inches. This slight difference contributes significantly to the fabric’s resilience and luxurious feel. While Egyptian cotton also boasts extra-long staple fibers, much of what is marketed as Egyptian cotton can be misleading. Thus, when purchasing sheets, it’s crucial to ensure you’re getting genuine quality, which Cotton and Care proudly offered.
Overview and Unboxing: What to Expect
Founded by husband and wife duo Evan and Lisa from Las Vegas, Cotton and Care was born from a shared passion for quality sleep. As self-described sleep enthusiasts, they created a brand that not only enhances your sleeping experience but also makes a positive impact on the world.
What truly sets Cotton and Care apart is its commitment to philanthropy. The brand partnered with Water.org to ensure that over 50% of its profits would help provide safe water sources to those in need. Given that Water.org can offer clean water to individuals for as little as $25, your investment in these sheets extended far beyond your bedroom.
Upon ordering, your Cotton and Care sheets would arrive within roughly a week, beautifully packaged and enhancing the unboxing experience. The set comes in a carefully designed box, accompanied by a welcome letter that adds a personal touch.
Cotton and Care Sheets: A Great Value
In my assessment, the Cotton and Care sheets represent exceptional value. The luxurious experience of Supima cotton at a competitive price makes these sheets a worthwhile investment. Below are the prices across various sizes:
– Twin: $119
– Twin XL: $119
– Full: $139
– Queen: $149
– King: $159
– California King: $159
Each set includes:
– A flat sheet
– A fitted sheet
– Two pillowcases (with Twin and Twin XL including one)
The fitted sheet boasts heavy-duty elastic, ensuring a snug fit on your mattress up to 16 inches deep. These sheets are pre-washed and machine washable, promising a fabric that continues to soften with every wash while maintaining their breathability.
The Feel of Cotton and Care Sheets
Upon first touch, these sheets feel light and smooth against the skin. Initially, they may come off as slightly stiff, but this stiffness dissipates quickly with use. With a 250-thread count, they may fall on the lower end compared to other luxury sheets, yet this contributes to their breathability—making them perfect for a comfortable night’s sleep.
Attention to Detail
Cotton and Care takes pride in its American roots, as indicated by the Made in the USA label proudly displayed on the sheets. The craftsmanship is evident in the neat stitching and overall construction, reinforcing a commitment to quality.
Currently, the sheets are available only in white, but given the growing popularity of the brand, we anticipate a broader range of colors may be introduced in the future.
Conclusion: Elevate Your Sleep Experience with Cotton and Care
In summary, while Cotton and Care may no longer be operational, the quality of its sheets remains worthy of recognition. Made from luxurious Supima cotton, these sheets promise comfort, breathability, and a long lifespan, making them a great addition to any bedroom. Moreover, supporting brands that give back offers not just quality sleep but also the peace of mind that comes from making a difference in the world. Though you can no longer purchase Cotton and Care sheets, their commitment to quality and philanthropy serves as a reminder of the values that should guide future bedding purchases.
