Review context: Ben received a complimentary duvet cover and summer-weight Whitehaven duvet insert for the original 2020 review. These observations describe those samples; current product specifications may differ.
Our verdict
Ettitude’s smooth bamboo-derived bedding appeals if you like a silky, soft surface. In our original hands-on review, the light insert and matching cover made a useful combination for someone who does not want a heavy top layer. The fabric wrinkled more than cotton in our experience, and the cover used buttons rather than Ben’s preferred zipper.
Good for: shoppers who enjoy a smooth finish and lighter bedding. Consider another fabric if: you prefer crisp cotton or a less wrinkled look.

Our hands-on findings
The cover felt soft and smooth, with a different hand from crisp cotton. Ben’s advice was to consider the whole bed: pairing light sheets with a heavy comforter can still leave a warm sleeper uncomfortable. Choose an insert and other layers for the temperature you prefer.
The Whitehaven insert received for the review was a thin summer-weight option. It arrived in a reusable zippered fabric bag. Its lightness added a covering without the bulk of a winter duvet, though warmth depends on the room, sleeper and layers.
What is bamboo lyocell?
Ettitude currently describes its Signature Bamboo Sheet Set as 100% CleanBamboo lyocell. Lyocell is a regenerated cellulose fiber: bamboo is processed into fiber rather than woven as raw bamboo. Check the exact product label when shopping.
Sateen generally has a smoother hand than crisp percale. Feel and temperature are personal; we cannot promise that any sheet will keep every sleeper cool. The FTC’s guidance on bamboo textiles explains fiber labeling.
Duvet cover and insert details
The insert had loops at all four corners, and the matching cover had loops to connect it. These help keep the insert positioned inside. The cover fastened with buttons, which Ben found easy to use, although he personally prefers a zipper. Check the current version’s closure and attachment points before buying.
Who might like these sheets?
Shoppers who prefer a smooth, drapey surface: Ettitude describes its Signature fabric as sateen lyocell. That is a useful starting point if the crisp, matte feeling of cotton percale is not your favorite. Our original sample felt smooth, but the current sheet set was not part of that hands-on review.
People who sleep warm: A lightweight, smooth sheet may be appealing, but it is only one part of a bed. Your mattress protector, mattress, duvet fill, room temperature and personal preferences all matter. The airy summer-weight insert we reviewed is different from a year-round or heavyweight comforter; choose the complete layering system rather than expecting sheets alone to control temperature.
Those who want a crisp, structured bed: Cotton percale is worth comparing if you prefer a more matte, crisp hand. Ben noticed more wrinkling with the original bamboo-derived bedding than with cotton. That is a finding about the reviewed sample, not a controlled wrinkle test of every current fabric or color.
Busy laundry routines: Gentle care and keeping rough fabrics separate require a little planning. If you routinely wash bedding with towels, use high heat, or prefer a low-maintenance finish straight from the dryer, compare care labels and decide whether the smooth feel is worth that routine.
Fit, wrinkles and care
Our original review found bamboo-derived bedding wrinklier than cotton. If a pressed appearance matters, consider that tradeoff alongside softness. For current Signature Bamboo sheets, Ettitude lists a 17-inch fitted-sheet depth for queen, king and California king; its size chart lists 16 inches for Twin, Twin XL and Full. It recommends a cold, gentle wash with mild detergent. Check the exact label and size guide; the original test covered a duvet cover and insert.
Measure mattress depth before ordering fitted sheets, and compare duvet cover and insert dimensions. Ettitude advertises a 100-night trial for qualifying first bedding orders, excluding final-sale items. Its product page uses broader wording, so confirm eligibility for the selected order and seller before buying.
Care and wrinkles in practice
Ettitude’s care instructions recommend washing cold with similar fabrics on a gentle cycle using mild detergent, then line drying or tumble drying low. The brand says to avoid bleach, fabric softener and dryer balls. Shake the bedding out before drying and remove it promptly to help limit wrinkles; low-temperature ironing is an option if the label permits it.
Keep zippers and rough towels out of the same load to reduce friction. Some pilling or changes in appearance can occur with use, and a low-heat routine is not a guarantee against either. Follow the care label on your own set if it differs from general guidance.
Measure before ordering
Check both the mattress footprint and its depth, including a topper or protector that will sit under the fitted sheet. Ettitude’s current size chart lists the queen fitted sheet as 80 × 60 × 17 inches and the king as 80 × 76 × 17 inches. A pocket dimension is not a promise of a secure fit on every 17-inch setup, so allow room to tuck the elastic beneath the bed and confirm the chart for your exact selection.
The product listing describes a set with a fitted sheet, flat sheet and two pillowcases, but confirm the listed contents and pillowcase sizes for the selected size before checkout. For the duvet, compare the insert and cover dimensions as well as ties and closure; our 2020 cover’s buttons and corner loops may not describe every current version.
Direct trial and fees
Ettitude’s current FAQ says its 100-night sleep trial applies to a customer’s first eligible bedding order and excludes final-sale items. It says eligible trial bedding may be washed and used, exchanges are free, and return shipping may be deducted unless applicable return protection was purchased. Its product page describes the trial more broadly. Because those descriptions are not identical, confirm your own eligibility and costs before ordering, and save the terms shown at checkout. Other retailers can set different policies.
How the feel compares
| Fabric | Typical feel | Consideration |
|---|---|---|
| Bamboo lyocell sateen | Smooth and drapey | May wrinkle; verify fiber and weave |
| Cotton percale | Crisp and matte | Less silky; can wrinkle |
| Cotton sateen | Soft and smooth | Feel varies by construction |
Frequently asked questions
Did Yawnder test the current sheet set?
The hands-on observations come from a 2020 duvet cover and insert; they are not a test of the current sheet set.
Is lyocell raw bamboo fabric?
No. Lyocell is regenerated cellulose processed into fiber before weaving.
Does it wrinkle?
Ben found bamboo-derived fabric wrinklier than cotton. Results depend on care and expectations.
Are they suitable for a thick mattress?
Check the exact size chart and measure the mattress plus any topper. Current queen, king and California king fitted sheets list a 17-inch depth; smaller sizes list 16 inches.
Is the Whitehaven insert still available?
Check the current catalog rather than assuming the original insert is still offered.
