Back-to-school season is here, and a good night’s sleep is just as essential as notebooks and backpacks. Enter SIJO Bedding, the brand that will help students sleep smarter. Their Organic Cooling Bamboo Sheets and Flexcool Memory Foam Pillows transform dorm rooms (and bedrooms at home) into soothing, luxurious sleep sanctuaries. Driven by a commitment to sustainable sourcing and innovative material research, SIJO has created a lineup of fabrics and fibers that are not only high-performing and indulgently soft, but also ethically produced and environmentally efficient. This commitment to sustainability is reflected in the company’s mission, which emphasizes better sleep tonight, leading to brighter mornings tomorrow.
For this review, I received a king-size set of SIJO’s Organic Cooling Bamboo sheets and a Flexcool Memory Foam Pillow to test. I was immediately impressed with the brand, from their adorable packaging to the luxurious feel of the sheets. I was excited to put them on my bed.
SIJO Organic Cooling Bamboo Sheet Set
Crafted from 100% viscose spun from sustainably grown, organic bamboo, SIJO’s sheets tick every box for eco-conscious luxury. They’re Oeko-Tex Class 1 certified, meaning they meet the highest safety standards, and their 145 GSM (Grams per Square Meter) weight strikes the perfect balance of strength and softness. I love the buttery-smooth sateen weave and 300 thread count; these sheets drape like silk and feel gentle on my sensitive skin.SIJO designed their sheets with hot sleepers in mind, using naturally breathable, moisture-wicking fabric to keep you cool, dry, and comfortable through every season. Although I am not a particularly hot sleeper, these sheets have been keeping me comfortable all summer long.
SIJO sheets fit perfectly with the decor in my room. I have a pink comforter, and the sage green sheets are the perfect complement.
The SIJO Bedding set comes with one fitted sheet, one flat sheet, and two king-size pillowcases. I love that the fitted sheet has deep 16-inch pockets, so it is not a struggle to get it on my thick mattress. I washed the sheet set in cold water, tumbled it on low, and did not use any fabric softener or dryer balls before using. They came out beautiful!
My bed now feels so luxurious. They are buttery soft to the touch, but I know that with 145 GSM , these sheets will be durable and keep looking and feeling great wash after wash. 145 GSM means that the sheets are featherlight and silky, but still sturdy enough to hold up after lots of washes.
FlexCool Memory Foam Pillow
I was fortunate that SIJO also sent me their amazing FlexCool pillow to test out. What makes this pillow stand out is that you can adjust the firmness to customize it to your exact preferences. It also incorporates materials that allow the pillow to stay cool all night long.
The pillow comes with a bag of SIJO’s proprietary shredded memory foam and microfiber blend that you can add to your pillow to make it your ideal sleep experience. They use only high-quality, freshly made memory foam cut uniformly; no scraps.
I don’t like a firm pillow, so I found that adding a few handfuls of the foam material created the perfect firmness for me. With the convenient zipper pocket, you could also take out the foam if you wanted a super squishy pillow. GRS-certified recycled polyester fills gaps between foam for a cloud-like feel, improved air circulation, and moisture absorption, reducing plastic waste. GRS means Global Recycled Standard, an international certification that verifies products made with recycled content.
The pillow’s outer shell is an innovative cooling fabric that provides an instant cool sensation. With this pillow, you do not have to keep flipping your pillow over to get to the cool side; it stays cool all night! It can do this because underneath is a phase-changing layer that regulates temperature. It really is impressive!
My Thoughts
SIJO is a brand that I am proud to support. They create high-quality, high-performance products while maintaining a laser focus on sustainability. Their choices of materials are ethically grown and manufactured, and are environmentally efficient. They also give back. 1% of every SIJO purchase is donated to various nonprofits. They choose causes that align with SIJO as a brand. Some examples are World Central Kitchen, Center for Women and Enterprise, and One Tree Planted. These are nonprofits that align with my priorities as well, so I’m happy I learned about SIJO and tried their products.
As your kids head back to school, consider SIJO bedding for a dorm room, a bedroom refresh for a child moving into a big boy or girl room, or even for yourself! Reward yourself for making it through the summer with some luxury in your bedroom!
