Fabric & Materials

Do these sheets feel slick and slippery like silk, or crisp like high-end hotel cotton?

TENCEL eucalyptus bedding leans fluid and sleek, but it isn't slippery like satin or silk. Think of it as a smooth, silky-soft hybrid that drapes beautifully without feeling slick.

How does eucalyptus bedding compare to cotton, linen, and microfiber sheets for hot flashes and night sweats?

Eucalyptus (TENCEL Lyocell) absorbs up to 50% more moisture than cotton, linen, or microfiber, wicking it away from your skin so you stay cooler and drier through the night.

What is bamboo fabric made from?

Bamboo fabric is made from bamboo-derived cellulose fibers processed into a soft, breathable fabric.

Care Instructions

Can I put this in the washer and dryer?

Yes — wash in mild detergent in cold or warm water, without bleach or fabric softener, then tumble dry on a gentle setting or line dry.

Certifications

Is it actually 100% waterproof?

Yes — unlike lower-quality alternatives, Olive + Crate mattress protectors are engineered with a high-quality waterproof membrane sewn between two layers of bamboo fabric.

Is it chemical-free / OEKO-TEX certified?

Yes, our bamboo mattress protector is OEKO-TEX Standard 100 certified, meaning it's been independently tested for harmful substances.

Is TENCEL good for acne-prone or sensitive skin?

Because of TENCEL's rapid moisture-clearing ability and smooth fiber surface, it creates a less hospitable environment for bacteria and irritation, making it a great choice for acne-prone or sensitive skin.
