Are you looking for a little bit of luxury in your life? Well, look no further than the Brooklinen Luxe Core sheets. In this review, I’ll be going over what these sateen sheets are made of, how they feel, and who they’ll be best suited for.

The Luxe Core sheets are a best seller for Brooklinen, so let’s dig in and find out if these luxury sheets are worth the hype. If you’re in a rush, you can always skip to the end for a review summary.

The Brooklinen Luxe Core sheets are made from cotton in a sateen weave, with a luxuriously smooth and satiny feel.

There are many different ways to make sheets, with a variety of materials from cotton to linen to bamboo . Each material has its own pros and cons.

The Brooklinen Core sheets are made from 100 percent long-staple cotton in a sateen weave . Long-staple cotton is preferable over short-staple, as the longer fibers ensure greater durability over time and they are less likely to pill . They have a 480-thread count, which is a good thread count range for a sateen sheet .

Sateen weaves generally use a three over one under weave, as opposed to one over one under (which is a percale weave .) The actual number can vary in how many threads are woven over, but using multiple threads creates a thicker, slicker feel in the fabric.

These sheets are also OEKO-Tex Standard 100 certified , meaning they surpass the highest criteria of testing for harmful chemicals and substances.

Each Luxe Core set comes with one fitted sheet , one flat sheet , and two pillowcases . The fitted sheet features tags on the long and short sides of the sheet to simplify the process of making your bed. Brooklinen does offer other Luxe bedding bundles aside from the Luxe Core, including:

The Luxe Core sheet set is available in six different sizes: twin, twin XL , full, queen, king, and California king . I tested the queen size set for this review.

When I started testing the Luxe Sateen sheets , immediately I felt they were super smooth, buttery, and satiny. I thought they felt fairly thick and heavy, as is common for sateen sheets , but still maintained a decently airy feel. These sheets have a super luxurious vibe that makes them feel like high-quality hotel sheets. The sateen weave also gives these sheets a bit of a shinier finish, as opposed to the matte finish common to a percale weave sheet .

I thought the Brooklinen Luxe Core sheets were decent for hot sleepers. Cotton is a good choice in general for breathability , but sateen weaves tend not to be the best choice for hot sleepers , as it is a thicker, higher thread count style of sheet. That means it isn’t as breathable as percale or linen sheets , which tend to have lower thread counts. 

Still, I thought the Brooklinen Luxe sheets were fairly lightweight for a sateen sheet and I didn’t feel myself overheating while lying under the top sheet .

The Brooklinen Luxe Core sheets are made from cotton in a sateen weave, with a luxuriously smooth and satiny feel.

The Brooklinen Luxe Core sheet set feels like a durable, quality sheet set to me. The sheets feel well-made and high-quality , and the use of long-staple cotton fibers will prevent pilling and ensure smoothness over time.

To make these sheets last as long as possible, be sure to follow the proper care instructions outlined by Brooklinen.

I did not have any issue with these Brooklinen sheets staying on the bed. The fitted sheet ’s pockets are 15 inches deep, which is a fairly standard pocket size that should accommodate most mattresses. However, if you have a particularly tall mattress, I would consider a sheet set with extra deep pockets.

Now that we’ve covered what these sheets are made of and how they feel, let’s go over my recommendations for who should try them, as well as some complaints.

Brooklinen's Linen Core sheet set is a breathable, 100 percent European flax sheet set.

The Saatva Organic sateen sheets are woven from 100% long-staple organic cotton into a 300 thread count, which is intended to offer a feel that’s soft, durable, and breathable. They are sateen woven which means they are going to be a bit more silky in feel, and less crisp. Additionally, they offer a light, lustrous sheen rather than a solid, matte finish.
