Brooklinen Lux Core Sheet Set Review {Updated May 2018}

{May 2018 update: So I can no longer recommend Brooklinen.  I purchased sheets from them March 20th but then decided not to keep them since I wanted to try sheets from a more sustainable and ethical company like Coyuchi.  I returned the item without even opening the box and received no word from them that they received it.  It has taken repeated emails on my part and I still haven't received my refund (over 2 months later).  Their customer service has been lacking and so I can no longer recommend them on this blog.}

So I've been meaning to do this review for the longest time since I've been using Brooklinen's sheets for awhile now.  But I've finally decided I need to write a post about it because I'm really starting to appreciate how lovely my bed is (especially since we're traveling everyday, it's been nice to come back to my own bed-- ahh RV living).  Anyways I first heard of Brooklinen through my husband who heard good things about it from friends.  So we decided to try it out, especially since we've never really invested in good sheets before.  And guys, these sheets are wonderful!  You know those lovely smooth and crisp sheets at upscale hotels?  Yea these are those kind of sheets.  

So first of all, you know I like any company that tries to be more transparent about their production process.  Can you call Brooklinen the Everlane of bedding?  Kind of:

but again you just have to trust their word when they say other companies sell it for 3x more

I also love that their site really breaks down what makes high quality bedding (long staple cotton, the ply of the yarn, thread count, etc.).

All I know is, these sheets feel super luxurious.  In the summers they felt cool the touch and in the winter they warm up and feel smooth and buttery soft.

At $129 for the Luxe Sheets (which is the one I got, I don't know what the classic feels like), it seems like a lot, but believe me it's worth every penny.  I love them so much that once our Airstream business gets off the ground, I want to purchase Brooklinen for all the Airstreams.  If you're interested in trying them out, they do have a 60 day return policy.  And for first time customers, here's a referral link to get $25 off your first purchase (I get $25 off too when you purchase through this link so thanks for supporting my dream of outfitting my Airstream fleet with brooklinen sheets!).

P.S. I should add that Brooklinen tells you to wash it once but these sheets really start feeling good after the third or so wash (they still feel pretty stiff the first couple of uses).
