Olive + Crate Eucalyptus Sheets Review (2027)
In-depth review of Olive + Crate eucalyptus sheets: lyocell moisture science, silk-like feel, and whether the premium is justified.
Olive + Crate Eucalyptus Sheets Set
Organic eucalyptus Tencel with a cool, silk-like glide.
Our verdict
Olive + Crate makes the best-feeling cooling sheet in this guide. Tencel lyocell's smooth fiber surface glides over skin and hair, absorbs moisture before it feels clammy, and releases it readily so the sheet never stays damp. The premium is real, as is the gentle-care requirement, but for a primary bed this is the set hot sleepers describe as a genuine upgrade, not a gadget.
What we like
- 100 percent organic Tencel lyocell from eucalyptus absorbs and releases moisture exceptionally
- Fiber surface is smoother than bamboo, reducing skin and hair friction
- Naturally cool hand that stays comfortable all night, not just on contact
- OEKO-TEX certified, with no synthetic fiber blended in
What to watch out for
- Premium price, especially in king sizes
- Delicate care: cold gentle wash, low dry
- Silky surface can feel slippery with silk sleepwear
What owners report: Olive + Crate Eucalyptus Sheets Set
Synthesized from recurring themes in long-term owner feedback.
Most praised
- Tencel lyocell absorbs and releases moisture better than any fiber here
- The smooth surface reduces friction on skin and hair through the night
- The cool hand lasts all night, not just at first contact
Common complaints

- The silky glide can feel slippery paired with silk sleepwear
Who it is for
Hot sleepers with sensitive skin or hair who want the finest natural cooling fiber and will care for it properly.
Why Tencel feels different
Lyocell fibers have a smooth, round cross-section, so the fabric surface has fewer rough points than cotton or even bamboo viscose. That is the source of the silk-like glide owners praise, and it measurably reduces friction on skin and hair through the night.
Moisture performance
Tencel absorbs moisture into the fiber core and releases it efficiently, which keeps the surface feeling dry longer than surface-wicking fabrics. For moderate night sweats and warm sleepers, it is the strongest natural-fiber performer here, trailing only Coolmax in raw transport speed.
Value and care
Expect to pay two to three times the Bedsure price. In return you get better durability than bamboo when cared for the same way, and a hand feel no budget set matches. The care rules are identical: cold, gentle, low heat, no softener.

Questions, answered
Is Tencel the same as eucalyptus sheets?
Tencel is the brand name for lyocell fiber; Olive + Crate's comes from eucalyptus pulp. Generic eucalyptus sheets may be lyocell or cheaper viscose, so the fiber label matters.
Does Tencel wrinkle like bamboo?
Less, and it releases wrinkles more readily with a low-heat tumble and prompt removal, though it will never be as carefree as microfiber.
Is it good for acne-prone skin?
The smooth, moisture-managing surface is a sensible choice for sensitive skin, and it launders cleanly. It is bedding, not a treatment, so keep expectations there.
