Reply to comment by totally_normal_ in What bed sheets are comfortable and last? by GardeningCrashCourse

I am shocked I had to scroll this far down to find the only other bamboo fan, these guys are missing out. I'm swapping out all my cotton/polyester for bamboo where I can.

Haha I know! My ex, my current bf and his sister all use the bedsure brand. Are you using bamboo materials for anything other than sheets?

Cozy Earth Bamboo pajamas are awesome. I have also bought Bamboo viscose nightgowns on Amazon. Both have held up really well too

Yes!

I just switched my undies over briefs and boxer briefs (DAVID ARCHY) for summer and winter. I can't speak for BIFL (but IMO no undies are, or should be) I can say I spent ~$1500 finding the right pairs and tested every (or almost) product with bamboo and polyester. I can't stand cotton and polyester makes a fine brief (Reebok) but not boxer briefs. I needed something to protect my legs from the wind.

But hands down the David Archy is the softest most comfortable feeling underwear of the 23 brands and 3-5 variants of each brand, not including sizes.

Thank god for Amazon's return policy, they pretty much paid me $75 with their card to find out what I liked and what fit properly.

For sheets, I went the bargain route and went with Hotel Sheets Direct ($33) as soon as I touched them I knew I was done searching. I tested the Umchord brand but they felt horrible and never left the package. Bedsure was next on my list to try. Did yours shrink at all when you washed them? My sheets seemed to shrink but they replaced them without needing to send them back. They claim it fits a 16" mattress but I could get them to barely fit my 10" without my corner keepers. I simply washed in warm water like normal, nothing crazy and that's what the brand said I should have done.

I do want to buy shirts too but the ones I can find are $20-40 and not in my size. Not that i'd buy a $40 tee shirt.

I'm really picky with any purchase and insist on doing research but especially when it comes in contact with my skin.

Edit: I just picked up a set of bedsure to compare for $36. Thanks for your recommendation.

Great info! I'll definitely be piggy backing on your boxer brief recommendation for the special man in my life.

I did not notice that my sheets shrunk BUT I live in a camper so my king size mattress is a little smaller than most. My BF actually complained that his bedsure sheets were too big and he has a very tall queen mattress. So hopefully it's not an issue for you.

I am also very diligent with spending money and tend to do a lot of research on any purchase that's more than a couple dollars. Hope you love your bedsure sheets as much as I love mine!

Thanks for the heads up. FYI they had GREAT prime day deals, I'd expect the same for black Friday but of course, with the holiday window, you can buy now and save later by buying when it's cheaper and returning it for the more expensive price.

I save my ethics and morals for non-billion dollar companies, especially when it's simply returning a new item for them in the return window you could return the used one.
