What are the Brooklinen Sheets Made Of?
Sheets can be made from a lot of different materials. There are cotton sheets, bamboo sheets, linen sheets, and many, many more. Every material has a unique feel, as well as pros and cons. I’ll go over what each of these sheet sets are made of below.Brooklinen Classic Core Materials
The Brooklinen Classic Core sheet set is made from 100 percent long-staple cotton in a percale weave. A percale weave uses a one over one under weave, which creates a lightweight, airy, and crisp feel. And long-staple cotton means the fibers of the cotton are longer, which ensures greater durability, a smoother feel, and lessens the chance of pilling over time.
These sheets also have a 270-thread count, which is in a good range for this style of sheet.

Brooklinen Luxe Core Materials
The Brooklinen Core sheets are made from 100 percent long-staple cotton in a sateen weave. Sateen weaves generally use a three over one under weave, as opposed to one over one under used in a percale weave. The actual number can vary, but using multiple threads creates a thicker, slicker feel in the fabric.
The Luxe Core sheets have a 480-thread count, which is a good thread count range for a sateen sheet.

Brooklinen Linen Core Materials
The Linen Core sheets are 100 percent linen made from European flax. Flax is a plant whose fibers are used to create linen yarn and fabric — you also might be familiar with flaxseed, which is a part of the flax plant that can be eaten.
The Brooklinen Linen sheets are individually garment dyed in small batches and are made in Portugal. They are also stonewashed to soften the linen fabric, which means the fabric was washed with large stones to beat the fabric as it rotates in the washing machine.
Linen sheets are generally made with a looser weave and lower thread count than percale and sateen sheets, giving them a more textured and coarse feel. Linen is also a very breathable material, thanks to that looser weave and lower thread count, as well as flax’s hollow fibers which allow for lots of airflow.

What Do the Brooklinen Sheets Feel Like?
Brooklinen Classic Core Feel
Percale sheets are known for being crisp and lightweight and I thought the Classic Core sheets fit that description exactly. However, I was pleasantly surprised that they still maintained a soft and buttery texture along with that crispness.
The percale weave gives these sheets a matte finish. I did notice them wrinkle fairly easily as I tested them, as well as being a bit crinkly.
Brooklinen Luxe Core Feel
I thought the Brooklinen Luxe Core sheets were super smooth, buttery, and satiny. They felt fairly thick and heavy, as is common for sateen sheets, but still maintained a decently airy feel, which is nice for hot sleepers who want a sateen sheet.
These sheets have a luxury sheet vibe that makes them feel like high-quality hotel bed sheets. The sateen weave also gives these sheets a lustrous finish, as opposed to the matte finish the Classic Core sheets have.
Brooklinen Linen Core Feel
The Linen Core sheets have a very classic linen feel. They are textured, thanks to that looser weave style. That also contributes to their breathability, which I could feel as soon as I laid under them. They’re super light and airy — great for getting maximum airflow in your bed.
I did find the sheets to be a bit coarse, as is expected for linen. But linen gets softer the more you use and wash it, so if these sheets are a bit too scratchy right out of the box, I’d recommend tossing them in the wash to soften them up.
Are the Brooklinen Sheets Good for Hot Sleepers?
If you sleep hot at night, having bedding that keeps you cool can be a major relief. Fortunately, I think all three of these Brooklinen sheets are good options for hot sleepers. The best of these three would be the Linen Core, in my opinion. Linen is a fantastic material for cooling. First, these sheets have a looser weave and less threads than the other two, meaning air can easily flow through them. But beyond that, the flax fibers used in linen are much hollower than those of cotton, so these are super breathable down to the fibers.
I would say the middle ground set is the Classic Core. Percale sheets are known for their breezy, lightweight feel and these are no exception. The one-over-one-under weave used in percale allows for more airflow than sateen, so these sheets are quite breathable and I would definitely recommend them to hot sleepers.
Out of the three, the Luxe Core sheet set is definitely the least cooling. The thicker, less breathable sateen weave won’t keep sleepers as cool as the percale or linen, but I was pleasantly surprised at how light and airy these sheets still felt. I wouldn’t make these my top pick as a hot sleeper, but if you are a hot sleeper who really loves a sateen feel, these are a good choice.

How Durable are Brooklinen Sheets?
Durability is an important factor when shopping for a set of sheets, as you’ll want them to last a long time. I thought all three Brooklinen sheets I tested felt very durable. For both the Luxe sateen sheets and Classic percale, the use of long-staple cotton will ensure good quality over time. Longer cotton fibers create a smoother sheet that is less likely to pill and deteriorate over time, so that’s a great indicator that these are quality sheets. Linen is also known for its durability and I thought these linen sheets did feel quite sturdy. However, with all three sets, be sure to follow proper care instructions to keep them in their best condition. I’ll go over how to wash each of these sheet sets in the FAQs below.Do the Brooklinen Sheets Stay on the Bed?
When testing these Brooklinen sheet sets, I didn’t have any issue with the sheets staying on the bed. All three sets’ fitted sheets have 15 inch pockets, which should easily fit most mattresses. However, if you have a particularly tall mattress or have a mattress topper, you might want a slightly larger fitted sheet.Are Brooklinen Sheets Good for You?
