Split King Sheets 100% Viscose from Bamboo - Merlot Cooling Set

Our review of the Split King Sheets by Pure Bamboo finds them best suited for hot sleepers who want a silky, breathable set that fits deep mattresses. These 5-piece sets are made from genuine 100% organically grown viscose derived from bamboo and feel noticeably softer than typical cotton sheets from first use, with customers reporting they become even silkier after washing. The key reason to buy is the blend of natural cooling performance and a true bamboo viscose composition that is OEKO-TEX Standard 100 Certified, offering a comfortable, hypoallergenic option for warm climates or those who run hot at night.

Key Features

• 100% Viscose Derived from Bamboo: Provides a sensuous, silky feel that is cooler to the touch than many cotton alternatives for improved sleeping comfort.
• OEKO-TEX Standard 100 Certified: Tested free from over 100 harmful substances, giving extra peace of mind for sensitive skin and family use.
• Complete 5-Piece Split King Set: Includes two fitted sheets (38'in x 80'in), one flat sheet and two envelope-style pillowcases for full bedding coverage.
• Double-Stitched Seams: Pillowcases and flat sheet use quality double stitching to resist wear through repeated cold-water washes.
• Deep Fitted Pockets: Fully elasticized borders accommodate mattresses up to 16'in deep, ensuring a snug fit without slipping.
• 300 Thread Count Sateen Weave: Balanced density for a smooth, durable fabric that resists pilling better than very high thread count cottons.

Who It's For

The Split King Sheets are ideal for hot sleepers, people with sensitive skin, and anyone who prefers a silky, breathable bed sheet that feels cool in summer. They suit buyers who need a true split king configuration with two fitted sheets rather than a single top split; the set ships with two separate fitted sheets sized 38'in x 80'in.

Shoppers who want extremely wrinkle-resistant bedding or a blended fabric may want to look elsewhere, as opinions about wrinkle resistance are mixed and these are pure viscose rather than a cotton blend. Also, this set is not designed for split top mattresses, so owners of split top designs should verify compatibility before purchasing.

Pros & Cons

Pros

Cons

• Wrinkle resistance is mixed among users, so they may require more smoothing after washing.

Specifications
