Purple SoftStretch Sheet Set Performance Highlights

✅ Pros

• Soft but Sturdy: The Purple SoftStretch Sheets have a gentle finish but also enough heft to provide a snug feeling. If you like your sheets soft but not gauzy, this product might be for you.
• Cool: The sheets don’t feel like they’re trapping your body heat underneath them thanks to the breathable rayon fibers.
• Fitting: These sheets work with almost any type of mattress since they fit beds that are up to 15″ tall.

❌ Cons

• Wrinkly: Polyester is prone to wrinkling, and these sheets are 27% polyester. It might not affect how you sleep, but it could be a turn-off for those of us who are on the fussy side.
• Cost: As luxury sheets, the Purple SoftStretch Sheet Set comes with a higher price tag compared to others on the market.

What They’re Made Of (and Why)

What puts the stretch in a stretch sheet? For this product, the answer is spandex. It’s one of three materials Purple uses in their SoftStretch Sheets:

• Rayon from bamboo viscose–63%
• Polyester–27%
• Spandex–10%

About the Materials

Rayon

“Rayon from bamboo viscose” is a technical-sounding term that essentially means rayon fibers derived from bamboo plants. Thanks to their softness and cooling properties, these fibers have become an increasingly popular material for bedding and other textile products.

Polyester

Polyester adds strength and moisture resistance to the sheets. It’s a common material for bedding since it dries fast.

Spandex

Spandex provides the elasticity that helps ensure the sheets can stretch and recover their original shape. (Purple Sheets also feature Spandex and bamboo, if you’re looking for another option.)

Why Make Bed Sheets That Stretch?

Between nightly use and the rigors of laundering, bedding endures more wear and tear than you might think—especially if you’re a restless sleeper. In terms of durability, sheets specifically designed to retain their shape might have an advantage over other products. (If you’re looking to shop around for different types of sheets, take a look at our best sheets page.)

What Makes the Purple SoftStretch Sheets Special?

• Unlike some mattress companies that only offer their sheet sets in one color, Purple sells its sheet sets in five different colors, giving you multiple options.
• As the name suggests, these sheets are very stretchy so you can take full advantage of your GelFlex Grid or other mattress features.
• Purple includes a “head” and “foot” tag so you can make the bed quickly without having to guess which end goes where.

Other Design Details

According to Purple, their stretch sheets (and their Purple Sheets) complement what’s called the Purple Grid—a flexible, adaptive comfort layer included in all their mattresses. The idea is that the sheets enhance the Purple Grid’s ability to support your back, shoulders and hips. (You can learn more about the Purple, Purple Hybrid, and Purple Hybrid Premier mattresses from our mattress reviews.)

Care and Maintenance

Purple recommends machine-washing these sheets in cold water, so you might want to use a cold-water detergent. You can tumble-dry them on low heat or hang them up.

Is the Purple SoftStretch Sheet Set Right For You?

The Purple SoftStretch Sheets are a great addition to your bed if you’re a hot sleeper looking for a breathable bedding option. Purple SoftStretch Sheets are soft, cool, and comfortable. If the potential for wrinkling is the only red flag for you … well, that’s what irons are for.

Keep in mind that these sheets are priced higher than typical sheets, so if you’re on a budget you may want to steer clear. For more affordable sheets, check out our Best Budget Sheets for a Great Night’s Sleep guide.
