Summary
Tom's Guide's top luxury pick for cooling, with a silky-smooth feel that bamboo delivers better than cotton. Backed by a 100-night trial and 10-year warranty.

Our take
If you want cooling AND luxury and don't mind spending, Cozy Earth is the move — the 10-year warranty alone signals this is built to last, not just to sell.
Multiple Reddit users who tested percale, bamboo, and eucalyptus all landed on linen as the coolest — and CNET specifically called out The Citizenry. The texture adjustment period is real but worth it.
