Supima Cotton Sheet Set
The Sleep Number Supima Cotton Sheet Set is wonderful bedding set to invest in. They are designed beautifully and Sleep Number makes it easy to install them. Even though the sheets come equipped with elastic bands to keep the sheets from sliding around, I still found these sheets were moving around more than other Sleep Number sheet sets we've used. The price of the set is higher than other 600 thread count sets made with Supima cotton - even when Sleep Number offers them on sale.

Supima Cotton Sheet Set provides comfort and joy to your bed.
As nice as it is to go on vacation, one of the luxuries you don’t have on the road is your own bed. My fiance and I went on vacation about a month ago and we were elated to get back to our Sleep Number bed and be able to try out some new sheets at the same time. We have the Supima Cotton Sheet Set for the Split Top King size bed — and they make us feel like royalty.
What is the supima cotton sheet set from Sleep Number?
You may not be aware of this, but Sleep Number sells bedding in addition to beds. When we purchased our bed a few years back, it was suggested that we upgrade our sheets, too. We got a set of sheets from Sleep Number. They weren’t really anything fancy – just some run-of-the-mill cotton sheets. But, they fit the bed so well and my fiance and I agreed that they felt better than our standard sheets.
Ever since we’ve used Sleep Number sheets exclusively. We recently had the Winter Soft Sheets on our bed, but as we transition to spring, we wanted to move to something that was going to be cooler, but still feel luxurious. So, we got the Supima Cotton Sheet Set. Supima cotton is grown in the USA and is known for being twice as strong as regular cotton. Therefore, it is more durable and long-lasting than standard cotton, too.
Supima cotton sheet sets are soft and luxurious because of their extra-long staple fiber. Supima cotton also resists pilling because the length of the fiber also produces a smoother, cleaner yarn. The fabric can also absorb color dyes better.
Supima cotton is really American-grown Pima cotton. The name ‘Supima’ is really just the mix of ‘superior’ and ‘Pima’. Cotton is sustainable by nature. It’s a rare, premium natural fiber and is only grown on approximately 500 family-owned farms. The product is also eco-friendly. It’s fully compostable and leaves behind zero waste.
In terms of the Supima Cotten Sheet Set from Sleep Number, they are part of the Made In Green by OEKO-TEK initiative. The sheets are 600 thread count, lightweight, and very soft, I mean very soft. The sheets are designed to fit any mattress up to 15” thickness and they feature Sleep Number’s SmartFit design. Additionally, the sheets also have the Logic Label included so you know exactly which corner to start with when making the bed.
The Supima Cotton Sheet Set is available in the following sizes – queen, king, split king, FlexTop King, California King, Split California King, and FlexTop California King. There are several color options available, too, including – slate blue, pewter, mocha, white, dark blue, and rose.
How does the Supima Cotton Sheet Set provide a better night’s sleep?
The Supima Cotton Sheet Set comes packaged in a linen bag with a zippered closure. This is standard sheet packaging for Sleep Number and the sheets are wrapped up with a piece of cardboard so that they keep their shape. When you unwrap the package, you’ll find a fitted sheet, a flat sheet, and two pillowcases. In my case, we have a FlexTop King size bed so we received the fitted sheet that is specially made for the split in the mattress and there were two king-size pillowcases included instead of standard-sized cases.
One of my favorite features of Sleep Number sheets is the SmartFit design. This feature includes elastic bands that wrap around the corners of the mattress. These bands are designed to provide stability and keep the fitted sheet from slipping off the corners. On other sheet sets, this feature has kept the sheets stable on the mattress. Unfortunately, the Supima Cotton Sheet Set has a sateen feel to it and so it’s a little slicker than other cotton sheet sets. So, it naturally slips around a bit more. I’ve found that the SmartFit straps do keep the fitted sheet from slipping off the corners completely, but I did find myself having to adjust the fitted sheet more than usual.
Also, the flat sheet seems to slide around more than other sheets, too. I usually get up in the morning before my fiance and I’ve found after he gets up that the flat sheet is nearly touching the floor on his side of the bed. It’s not like that when we make the bed. The flat sheet is even on both sides when we go to bed, but in the morning, it has slipped around to be uneven on one side. I attribute this to the sateen feel of the sheets.
Even though there were a couple of small wrinkles in the fit of the sheets on the bed, my fiance and I both adore the Supima Cotton Sheet Set. We both think they are a step up from standard cotton sheets. I have found that I’ve been sleeping better since we switched to this sheet set. I feel as though I’m kept plenty warm, but not too hot. And I love the sateen feel to the sheets.
Final Thoughts
I am a big fan of Sleep Number sheets and the Supima Cotton Sheet Set is my favorite set so far. Even though I love these sheets, their design still has some room for improvement because they do move around a lot. As far as comfort goes, these sheets get a solid 10/10 rating. Sleep Number sheets are premium-level sheets and are priced accordingly, but as 600 thread-count sheets, they are pricier than competitors.
